The .223 works just fine on feral pigs from all reports.

Until you get to the 600-pounder. Or he gets to you. More gun, son.

It’s coming to Civil War II but I predict it will be far shorter and far bloodier than the original.

The participants thought the last one would be short, too.

What determines the length of the contest is how long it takes to get to the point that one side can't do it any more, period. True in WWI, true in the Civil War, true in WW II.

And the good guys will win.

Why do you think that? They didn't last time.

“Until you get to the 600-pounder. Or he gets to you. More gun, son.”

Over the last 3 years we’ve had an invasion of feral hogs on the ranch. For years I carried a Styer 243 for taking out coyotes and learned real quick it was a little light for bigger hog’s and lacked the firepower when you ran into sounders. My truck gun now is a Panther Arms LR 308 and it can reduce the population of a large sounder pretty quick. The first year I took 14 hogs with the 243 since the LR I’ve taken 42 the second year and 56 last year. I’m at 27 so far this year, I fear I’m fighting a losing battle. The did a Helo hunt on the ranch to the west and took 230 in 2 days.
