As of Tuesday evening I have officially killed at least one hog with a .17 HMR (pic below), .22 long rifle, .22 mag, .22 hornet, .222, .22-250, .223, .243, .270, .30-06, .20 ga slug, .357 revolver, and my bow.....Hmm, gotta start brain storming other weapons to shoot hogs with............ I was able to get my hog kill captured with a trail camera at the bait pile, my buddy was stalking it with me and got a piglet with his new AR.

Iv taken a few with 22lr and 17hmr also. Shot placement is the key! Good shooting! Im realy wanting to get one with a traditional style bow one day think that would be awsome

Nice job Andrew... next time you're at the ranch I'll let you borrow my 6.8spc to add to the list.


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
