I've posted this before.

My hunting buddy has a unique method for killing penned hogs.

He walks up on the trap, stops before they start running around, usually 15 yds or so. He uses a scoped .17 HMR with FMJ's (cheap plastic Salvage). He visualized a line between their eyes, aims 1" above midline, lines up the target to miss the pen wire and fires. Pig hits the ground, eyes poked out on stems, weird looking. No squeeling, little or no blood. He waits for the next opportunity, takes his time, kills them all.

All the blood, squeeling, shooting, running, confusion is avoided. And, he doesn't mess up the trap with gore and blood everywhere such that they won't come back. His killing trap is still pretty neat and tidy.

No no no. It can't be done that way. It would never work and it makes way to much sense to do it that way.

(its the way I do it too, but 22 instead of 17... and with a can these days)

I"m fairly sure you might be able to bring a gator to the surface and pop one too without all that extra tusssle, but I've never seen it done so may be wrong there.

Who would ever think about doing it slow and calm... LOL.

I got "shot" once with frags from a 22... an old timer that I figured knew better, got panicky with about 5 in a pen and shot kind of my direction and hit the wire... I got frags in my arm. No biggy. But I expected much more of an old timer. ....more common sense etc...

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
