Likely true. I’ve always found the .308 to be hell on pigs, even with plain cup/cores and body shots. That bullet impact “thwap” you get to hear when using a suppressor never gets old, that’s for sure.

Cell-cams definitely help when there's a change in movement patterns due to moon/weather and the 1AM hogs turn into 7-10PM hogs. I can't stay out all night! Lol.....

That's exactly what I need. I shoot a few of them, but tired of trying to figure them out. Seems like they're always there when I'm not.

February photo of my two year old great grandson covering a chicken raiding coyote with his six shooter. His Dad killed the coyote a few minutes before with 12 gauge 3 inch magnum #4 steel bird shot. This was a persistent coyote. Over the previous month it had tried five times to get into my grandson’s chickens, including trying to dig under the fence in three places. Grandson had seen it three times, and it killed and ate a neighbor’s chicken at midday. He tied up his dog, kept a shotgun handy, and slid open a window to shoot it one morning when the dog barked. 25 yard shot and the coyote made it 40 yards before expiring. Olympic Peninsula, WA. Short yearling male coyote in very good shape.

I wish I had the opportunities for hogs and such that you guys have. I caught this groundhog grazing out of the back door. The CCI "supressor" 45 grain bullets are impressive. Take care! Rick namiko name meaning

I took my nephew out on his first pig hunt. He was able to connect with a couple.

I visited another property last night, located about 5 miles from the house. Pigs have been rooting up practically every square foot of cleared area, including plots, roads, even our parking lot spot. So I set up a cell camera and a ground blind. They showed up Friday night a bit after dark, so I made plans to be there Saturday night. Slipped in there about 40 minutes before dark and set up with thermal and NV. They rolled in about 9:30, raising all kind of hell. Could hear them coming a hundred yards out. Tried for a double, but there was just too much fighting and jumping around. Left out with the alpha sow. Good use of a couple hours.

Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

A little early but could not resist temptation any longer........shot 7 or 8 last night with the .223. Most around 250yds. Did offhand one at 80yds.
