[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16495778, member: 67454"] I used to hunt pigs all the time. For eating, you only want them under 100 pounds. If it's a male, and it's over 75 pounds, we just left it for the ants and buzzards, because the meat is terrible. Pigs breed like mice, they're tough as Hell, and they're smart, and they are omnivores. They've got a sense of smell better than a dog, and equally good hearing. A fifty pound pig can kill a man. Over a hundred pounds, if it catches you with no weapons or backup, you're a goner. Though usually they'd rather avoid you. But a sow with piglets is pure Hell and will come after you. They can move through dense brush and thorns with absolute quiet. I once saw a sow get shot in the head with a .22 Long Rifle. My buddy was a damn good shot, and it was all we had with us, and it was within fifty feet, so he figured one shot to the middle of the forehead ought to do the job. He got it. Dead-center in the forehead. It dropped to it's knees, then sprang up, screamed, and went running straight for the brush, piglets running after it. At first it looked like a freight train came off the tracks, brush shaking like mad. Then ... complete silence. TOTAL silence, not a bit of brush moving. We figured it had fallen dead at that point. We go hacking into the brush to retrieve it and we never found it. We found a small blood trail, but we never did find that pig. I never hunted pig with anything less than a 180-grain .308. Great times. I'd never try it like the OP does, my hat's off to you on that. I always wanted distance and firepower. [/QUOTE]
