If it is wooded how are you going to get follow up shots through tree's? They are hard enough to hit well in the open on the run. 50 acres doesn't offer much for tracking a poorly hit animal either.Yeah I thought AR with ACOG for hogs as I might need a quick second shot. My place is a wooded 50 acres in ETX, so there won't be any long shots.

Sure if you put one through the ear hole or eye.Nice shooting and good job... but those are little piglets. What if they'd weighed 200-400 pounds? Would .223 Rem have been appropriate for those big bad boys?

IMO as a hunter you owe a precise and ethical shot on any animals. Do those shots have to be picked and chosen at times depending on several variables? Sure they do but that's part of the hunt otherwise it's just killing.I guess some folks can guarantee precise shot placement each and every time. I certainly cannot.
If you are after the meat an animal that runs with adrenaline or is gut shot does the meat absolutely no good. If they are causing major damage then sure killing is understandable. Same goes for Prarie dogs and coyotes as well.When it comes to hogs is about the killing. Shoot them, and shoot again!
Like a boss. What ammo specs? Gr? muzzle velocity?Those 2 in the 1st photo were were a "2fer"
Thank You That piglet "2 fer" was a real surprise, didn't expect that. I used my Remington 700 7mm-08 bolt action rifle and my reloads with Hornady SST bullets when I shot these hogsNice shooting and good job... but those are little piglets.
