This writer needs a grammar check!
And the hog was still twitching after being hit by a .50 cal. Definitely need to go big when hunting those things.
I would think hunting with a .50 cal would be more ethical since the ratio of kill shots would be higher. Having a wounded animal disappear into the woods, only to die and become a maggot farm is less so.
How stupid. A .45-70 would do great and not tear them up.
It's feral hog eradication, fer cryin' out loud!
I don't care if one has a weapon that inserts sarin gas up their rectums...I want them dead, dead, dead.
These nasty little b%$tards have cost me a lot of money in having to repair what they can destroy in just minutes of their damned rooting, wallowing and all the peeing and pooping.
In fact, I advocate nuking them from orbit!
What no one seems to have noticed is that the moron who shot the hog with the .50 let all of the other hogs escape. What I see is a hog trap that has been carefully baited to attract hogs and probably should have a radio control gate to get rid of the whole herd. It probably took a week or two to get the hogs trusting enough to enter the trap, and with one shot all of that work is down the drain. Those hogs won’t be going back into that trap. Would have been better to have dropped the gate and then shot them.
Read this wrong? Only one g in Hog.
