Texas pig hunt/.223

[Highpoweredarmory]

We always do a quick Department of wild life and game search on google for the state our pro staff hunts in for a quick run down of laws. That usually answers any question you might have. Most states are so happy to get rid of them they don't care what you use as long as they are dead.

federal sells some 223 with 69gr nosler partitions
but I'd err on the side of more gun the better

I have some (1k) 75gr BTHP non magnetic rounds coming in next month I was going to use for coyotes out of my 20 inch build. I might see how those do against a hog. But now I am looking at either getting a .450 Bushmaster or .458 SOCOM upper to use as a swap out for heftier game. The only worry I have is that the 5.56 round may not have enough stopping power and I get charged.

Hog hunting is just one reason for a 30-round mag for an AR.

i'm all for taking care of business, but i think my methods would have a little more... discretion.

I'm not sure about a .223? I guess you could. Shot placement is 90% of tthe battle on them. Just an FYI. They don't die quick! And you don't want to shoot up your meat. I would go with a .270 personally or something with more stopping power.

I have no problem with hunting, but this was sickening.

A: No fucking shot placement - loved the bit where he thinks he's in a video game, one-handing it.
B: Once it's down and screaming in pain - FUCKING KILL IT!!!!! No more shooting at it's friends, or popping off random shots into it's side.
C: NO FUCKING SHOT PLACEMENT.

Stupid bastards.

follow up kill shots should be done as quickly as possible ....i hate seeing anything suffering like that

This video really is "wrong" I really don't see how they enjoyed what they did.

I think for the most part hogs in TX. aren't concidered much more than a nuisance and this video would be more in line with ADC than "hunting" per say. If you guys don't like that video, I'd highly suggest not looking or watching any of the heli. hog shoots. It's a numbers game, shootem' when ya see'em, count'em later. Not all the hogs are destined for the dinner table. As a friend of mine that lives in TX. tells me, the crows, coyotes, and ants need to eat too..My friend killed 53 hogs last year on his little bitty 40 acre piece of ground and I can assure you, he didn't eat'em all.
