Then i thought about what you would hnt one of these beasts with, .308 is probably too wimpy, 30-06 is probably even a bit small. These animals are immense, they make a strong case for Remington to design a 10-shot semi-auto 45-70 carbine.
its funny to think of a little kid blasting this thing with a revolver while his dad is covering him with some ridiculous gun like a .338 Lapua.
you hunted these things with a KNIFE?
You're braver than i am, PBL! 
i wouldn't feel safe with anything under .45 caliber, LOL. |
Yep! Once the catch-dogs had the hog immobilized, one of us would finish it off with a knife(and I'm talking a "Crocodile Dundee" sorta knife). A lot of hog hunters do not consider it ethical to shoot wild hogs, but hunt in the traditional Celtic/European tradition. I have actually shot and killed hogs with a .22 Magnum rifle, though, but you have to be a REALLY good shot(and I am, if I have to say so myself), be at close range, and know precisely where to aim. You will only make one mad if you aim for a body shot, like hitting a rhino with a BB gun. This is why I always used dogs, because a good pack of Catahoulas can keep the hog's attention off of ME. Hog hunting is not for anyone who has any physical infirmity, though, and once I seriously injured my left foot in a fall in 2001, and started having more diabetic-related foot problems, that put me out of the hog hunting loop. If you can't run and can't climb, you're toast!
