Obviously, shooting it in the head with a .40 isn't as effective as I would have thought. This one took 5 shots. (warning, some foul language and a dying pig below)

Wow.
I used a suppressed P22. One shot usually gets it but if it's still breathing in a couple of seconds it gets another one.

I was using my 40 and pretty much 1 shot, 1 kill. Changed ammo to cheaper FMJ rounds and it would not put them down cleanly anymore... Went back to my old rounds and its good again. Don't use cheaper FMJ target rounds. Use ammo that will blow up on impact. FMJ pass-thru shots just tick them off.

get closer. Hell, itty, bitty hog not gonna get you. My 14 year old uses a Cricket .22 on hogs that small, right behind the ear. minimal blood, no mess. drag them out and get to skinning.

I have done extensive structural and biological testing on hogs and I have come to the conclusion that they are indeed NOT made of Kevlar, titanium, kryptonite, or depleted uranium. PS, if you shoot a deer in the jaw, neck, or any other non CNS hub it won't die immediately. Even totally destroying the heart will not immediately incapacitate an animal in some cases. Know where to shoot, then shoot there and hit what you're aiming at.

i know the problem... you clearly weren't using the right catch phrase.. they don't respond to "freeze mofo" anymore...it's too 1990's you might try going with "eat lead dirtbag" or "you just dug your own grave a-hole" those should do the trick. funny video...btw...

Oh well yeah, target rounds are designed to just go through one sheet of paper then fall to the ground harmlessly thereafter. Hitting a non-vital area with a .223 that expands 100% still only leaves a .44 caliber hole which still won't immediately incapacitate a hog. Not much difference between .40 and .44 when it's a direct CNS hit. If it's not, then it doesn't matter what you're shooting unless the projectile literally explodes (like boom, dynamite!) on contact. I do all of my pig hunting with cast bullets. It's all in where you hit them...

It looked like he kept shooting it in the sinus cavity, thats probably why it took so long. Should have went for the temple.

I went through this same thing. (6) .45 acp's IN THE EAR and the hog finally gave up. Got made fun of, "can't kill a hog with 6 shots!?!" They were target rounds, too. Next few I dropped with a single .22 right between the eyes. I was amazed at what that little bullet did.

Dave Ill post pics of the skull when im back out there, trust me, the rounds went through the brain, just from the top as opposed to the side (ear). Lessons learned.

Got to shoot them in the right spot in the head, like that alligator show. Generally take me one shot with my little 38 and that is using cheap ammo.

A 22lr to the brain from any angle and there is a dead hog. Miss the brain with it or anything else and be ready to shoot again
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch
