Rookie wants to hog hunt

[CRAMBONE]

Hell, if you hunt with dogs just use a knife.

I was gonna say that too. Buy some dogs that are already trained, curs for baying and pits for catching. And a good sharp knife.

I've got my first feral hog hunt coming up in December and am very excited to go but a little worried that unless I get a CNS shot I'm not going to kill the pig so I will be bringing my 30-06 too. any other suggestions other than Black hills 77 grain 556.

Have seen many have success with 70 grain Barnes TSX rounds either handloaded or from ASYM (.223) or Silver State Armory (5.56). Hogs 400 lbs+ taken with them, although as with any live target, shot placement is important.

See some of SkyPup's results he's posted about.
