Your task, should you accept, is to help one determine how best to stock up.  You see, I've been mulling over some thoughts on my hunting preferences here lately and thought I'd hit the boards to see what others were thinking (and using) as well.

There are many species that I love to hunt, but I want to keep each discussion very focused and very specific.  For the purpose of this discussion, my interests here are focused on feral hog.

Now here's the meat of my inquiry....  you are to identify the following that you would use:

1) What rifle would you use?

2) What bow would you use?

 

 

I have my thoughts but will chime in later after I see what some of y'alls is!  I'll let this discussion run for a while and then compile the responses (along with responses that I receive from other inquiries) and post them up on my blog (and here of course!!!).

 

 

I fish... therefore I am.

There are lots of weapons for Hog huntin. My rifle that I use is a Winchester model 70 in .270 short mag if I'm usein a rifle. But look into hog doggin. Thats what I do all the time and its alot more "hands on" and you really get to know the animal that your huntin. I'll put a pic with this and this pic is last night, caught this hog with dogs and finished it with a knife.

for pigs almost any gun /bow will work it just matters how u hit them because u can hit a 200 pound hog with a 300 win mag in the sholder and it will run away and some times he wont but u hit them in the neck ,head or brake his sholder and hel just drop on the bow iv shot 3 60 pound sows and u have to hit them behind the sholder because most of the time it can hit and just stick in the skin and no do much damage hope this helps
