I'm not questioning their experience, I just find some of their tall tales hard to believe, I still dont and never will believe it takes the kind of firepower they say it does to kill a hog, I have done it with less reliably. The coments on shooting pigs with a 22 isnt directed at 300 pounders at 300 yards it is smaller hogs at under 80 yards. Yes Pyledriver I have been hunting "engough", and we have a a wheel or two come off, but nothing to get excited about, and nothing that wasnt handled. I didnt question their ability, I question their story, you dont know me dont question mine.

Well, you don't know me so don't question MINE!!

A lot of guys on here DO KNOW ME and know what kind of individual I am. Have also hunted with me a lot. You can question whatever you want but reality is that your the only one in question here. Loosing credibility fast!!

I never questioned your hunting ability, and dont doubt, I did however question your story telling ability, because we all know all stories get thrown out of wack.

I couldnt care less about what you think of my credibility as a hunter, I get buy more than just fine by myself, and there is most definately more than one way to skin a cat.

Matt/Redchevy, my concern is that someone inexperienced and reading some of these posts would get the idea that they could head out with the trusty ol' 10-22. I'll definitely agree that you don't need massive firepower to put a hog down, but it was just the tone of some of your posts that got under my skin-and others I think. I think you could've made your point a little differently and nobody would have had any raised eyebrows!

In my experience, I ended up going the massive firepower route since a lot of my hunting is in the thick stuff, muddy most of the time, and I want maximum power to even things out! Not only that, I've run afoul of aggressive pigs a couple times-and I only needed to see that once to make my decisions. If I was hunting a feeder with a short, clear shot, I'd be plenty comfortable with something smaller...but I wouldn't take that with me if any tracking was involved!

I agree with everything you said, but to me what raised the eye-brow was all the talk of toting canons around and shooting them up. To me when people say things like that it makes it sound like they are just shooting them up for fun, and that tends to rile me a little... no alot.
