Got a few piggies the last couple days. I lost two, had to use a .22 magnum, had cataract surgery a couple of weeks ago. No boomers for a little while. It’s amazing to have a clear scope and one crosshair again.

Nice work on the pigs. Glad you are getting your shooting eye back. Just don't rush things too hard.

Definitely not, Doc said a month, waiting a couple extra weeks. You must be a "stunt shooter" ...I've had a couple dozen Texans tell me you can't kill hogs with anything smaller that a .243 or .270 I'm gonna re-educate a couple of them next week with my .222

Pigs are easy to kill. I’ve killed a bunch with a bow.

Add an arrow into the mix to make it a bit easier!

I've been using my CZ 527 in .223 for pigs. The 50 grain Nosler ballistic tip at about 3200 FPS does a number on the heads of pigs. Makes their eyes bug out! LOL!
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

Wish we had piggies where I live but it will never happen. Going to have to try going for them someday.
