Which cartridge would you consider to be the minimum necessary to take down one of these motherfuckers?
Also, while hunting on public land, is it illegal to just leave them where they drop?
>>29242074
>is it illegal to just leave them where they drop?
why are you hunting if your just going to leave the meat?
.45 stoppen powah
In some other universe hunting with artillery is legal :(
22 hornet to the brain would be enough
243 is more than enough to the brain or good lung/heart
you could definitely kill it if you put a .22 lr through its eye, its all about placement...
also how long do you want to search for the animal once it runs off? seconds? minutes? hours?
theres far more to consider than trying to be a fucking pigsniper, leave that to one eyed quaca
>>29242142
hitting its tiny brain with a .22 would be hard even if you hit it in the eye. you would have to get the angle just right. i would shoot for the lungs/heart and track it till it died like a deer.

Environmental conservation considering in most places boar is an invasive species and destructive to farmland
>>29242089

Not really much of an expert at cleaning the fuckers anyhow, also kinda worried about the diseases they carry.
Are they more prone to carrying diseases than other game? Or am I just being paranoid?
>>29242089
some wild pigs are rife with parasites and disease. or their meat is very tough and unsavory. sometimes its easier to just leave them to rot
>>29242089
I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, that they are an invasive species and it's okay to act as exterminator. I would at least keep one hog tho.

They carry trichinosis but so does farm raised pork. So long as you don't eat pork rare its not an issue.

I know a guy who had one charge at him. It took him a few shots of .222 and a new pair of pants, but he killed it.

Boar meat is amazing, I've heard.
They have much, MUCH less fat and better muscle quality than farm pigs.
>>29242074
.223 seems to be just fine.

>>29242074
>not eating what you kill
>especially when what you're killing is pig
Literal scum.
Must be nice to be such a bourgeois fuck that you'll just leave good meat rotting rather than put it on the table.
To answer your question a lot of people hunt hog with .223 but I don't go smaller than 7.62x39 for stuff that size.
Honestly 7.62x39 is literally perfect to remove squeal with.
Smaller bullets like 5.56 and .223 are popular because people can take their AR's out hunting and operate on pigs. Often times its too light and requires a few shots.
Intermediate cartridges with bigger bullets are really common and more effective on hogs. Things like .243, ,30-30, .300 BLK, and 7.62x39 are good, heavier hitting rounds. Something like .35 Remington would be perfect.
Then you have full-sized rifles, .270, .30-06, .308, etc. Anything like this is popular because you know the power it's got behind it.
Finally, people like their big bores. .45-70, .444 Marlin, .44 Magnum, things like that have a wallop but usually a slower rate of fire.
>>29242388
Boar is tasty, just as is most meat. It's the risk of nasty parasites and the like people try to avoid
>>29242438
>good meat
that's the thing, it seldom is.
Invasive is invasive. If you can manage to find some that's not gross as fuck to eat, more power to you. But they need to go regardless. Also don't be such a dick
>>29242074
Minimum:
>.223/5.56 for smaller bacon.
>.308/7.62 for the bigger fuckers.
The reason being is that as pigs mature, they develop a plating around their head and neck. This plating is meant to protect them when they get in fights. The older the pig, the more plating, muscle, fat and bone you will have to penetrate to hit vitals.
I shot a 70lb pig a couple days ago square in the shoulder with a 55g .223, but the fucker got up and kept running. I brained it with a second shot to kill it. When I was field dressing it, I found out that I disintegrated one of its lungs with my first shot. Pigs are tough fuckers.
>>29242439
/bread
>>29242459
The only diseases you have to worry about are also present in farm pigs.
If you bring enough gun and kill it clean the meat won't taste like shit. It's people pumping a bunch of .223 into a freaked-out animal that leads to meat tasting like shit.
>>29242438
>>29242459
Feral pigs are an ecological disaster. Killing them whenever you find them, if you need meat or not, is a right thinking person's duty.

His family was pretty loaded and very generous, we kept and cooked some of the clean meat then donated the rest of the good meat to some food banks.
But to answer your question OP I did a fairly good job taking down hogs with 5.45, some took more than 1 shot when I wasn't going for the head or heart. My best friend was using his AR10 and had no problem taking them down
Have a story about one of the hogs
>>29242484
>tape worms
Pigs get a stink when they get older. Their meat will smell and taste off if they eat a bunch of bullshit. This is why I tend to shoot smaller pigs: they usually taste better.
>>29242438
>>29242259
i dont know what im looking at
>>29242230
Once a hog has been free, they will not be domesticated again. They're too smart.
>>29242259
What is this?
>>29242529
It's a torn up field caused by pigs. I can't tell by the picture, but I'm guessing the pigs were digging for roots or underground produce like carrots or potatos.
OP is right though, pigs are a fucking nightmare for farmers. We have pigs that eat our drip line because there's no water in California. We tend to shoot pigs on sight.

>>29242496
Hey, I'm not saying don't kill them. They destroy fucking everything
But why not eat the fucking things? Why not give the meat to someone who needs it if you don't want it?
boar hunting with a mosin is great, if you have the bayonet fixed. always got a spear at the ready.
>>29242660
Because generally speaking, the meat tastes dreadful. Like to the point where eating it is physically unpleasant. Especially if it came from an adult hog. I have seen dogs turn their nose up at meat from old hogs.
>>29242484
>The only diseases you have to worry about are also present in farm pigs.
Holy shit, that's wrong.
Feral hogs carry several diseases that aren't present in farm hog populations, or when they are present are grounds for imminently destroying the animal and quarantining any it might have infected.
They pretty much all have a rabies-like infection that kills dogs after weeks of agonizing itching and rabbit fever, not to mention parasites.
>>29242643
It can drop some stuff over 2000 pounds.
>>29242660
They carry pseudorabies. Kill them, burn the bodies, keep dogs away.
Hi , I just got a lee enfield no.4 no.2 with a spike bayonet at today's crossroads of the west gun show. Would this be sufficient for taking hogs ?

We're talking about hogs here.

5.56 seems to be popular as a starting point. I'd go bigger, maybe .300 blk. It's pretty popular and works well with suppressors. Plus all you need is a new upper and then you can use normal 5.56 lower with normal 5.56 mags.
>>29242188
Yes they are more prone but as long as you don't eat the brain and cook the meat to well done you should be fine. Male hogs taste better with some sort of citrus brine, unless you like the gamey flavor (which gets stronger with age) in which case season to taste.

Handguns are less popular regarding hog hunting. Usually they're exclusively a backup for a charging boar.
You pretty much have three tiers:
Your standard pressure cartridges like 9x19, .45 ACP, .40 S&W, they can all kill a pig but expect to hit it a lot. Pretty much only a sidearm.
Dedicated hunting handguns, namely revolvers and rifle-chambered handguns, will do the trick best. .357, .41, .44, .454, and .500 all hit hard and could even substitute for a rifle. Even a Blackhawk in .30 Carbine wouldn't be a terrible choice.
Then you have your "magnum pistol" rounds. 10mm, .357 Sig, 7.62 Tok, they're hot, sure, but only if they're loaded hot. The common misconception is that factory ammo puts it on par with magnum rounds, which is just untrue. The fact is that unless you load them specially, they're a lot closer to .40 S&W power than they are magnum. Loading them up really hot will give you more power but lose controllability. The idea of a Glock 40 blasting fifteen rounds of essentially .41 Magnum would be great if you recognize that you have to really fire up a pill to come close and then you have heavier recoil too. Novelty for the most part, but they have a niche.

The minimum is .22lr but I kill them with .177hmr, it's much faster but also smaller so I wouldn't call it weaker than the .22

>dump them in the river
The density is strong with this one
.22LR from a rifle to the forehead (or ear side on) at 50 yards or less would be my minimum; 40 grain at 1200 FPS (solid).
Killed many larger ones here in outback Oz with such.
If I have to shoot at 100 yards, I'll use .22WMR with 40 grain FMJs shooting for the same spot.
If over 100 yards, I'll use .223 Rem. or .22-250 Rem. and hit the same spot.
All one shot drops.
If 300 yards, I'll shoot them in the chest with a .308-class rifle, though they're run a little before dropping dead.
I've killed a lot and eaten a lot of pork and bacon from them. Free food here in outback Oz.
>>29246105
You can eat all of them, faggot, and they all taste fine.
Bacon if they're old.
>>29242074
.300 blackout, 7.62x39, and 30-30 are what's common among the hog hunters I know. any of those rounds loaded with proper softpoint hunting bullets will fuck a hog right up inside 200 yards.

Who the hell cares? You can at least buy +1000j ammo for the 10mm. You can't say that about any other rimless cartridge that you mentioned.

Handloading isn't fucking magic. You have to stay within max pressure parameters or risk catastrophic failure. Saying that any of them can be loaded to produce 1000j in a 5 inch barrel is simply wrong. Feel free to prove me wrong with pics. More likely you'll be down a gun and some fingers.

There's probably some technicality they could shove up your ass if you add any type of shrapnel to it. The rocks just make clean up easier since it's just rocks and therefore no cleaning needed except for the corpses.

Humor me as to why human agriculture is far less destabilizing than a pair of hogs?

You not a real hunter when you leqve meat behind
>>29242074
Depends on the hog. Normal ones a .223 is pretty standard. Big ol hogzilla might need a .308, but they aren't elk or bear.
Pistol calibers a hot .357 or 10mm will be reliable.
>>29248990
Because land owners are dumbshits.
Feral Pigs were extinct on public land in California (and are still quite rare, the pigs avoid it because they're smart) in the 80s back when the population was still small enough to wipe out with serious trapping. Liberal California of course didn't want to hurt the poor piggies so the State Government was useless, and land owners would harbor pigs on their property and charge a few to hunt them on their land.
Pig populations established corridors between lands not open to hunters and spread state wide. Eventually California completely capitulated and the state named them a game species complete with take limits.
It actually really pisses me off. Their are pigs now in Oregon thanks to California's utter ineptitude.
>>29242950
Anybody know what optic that is on the AR?
>>29242074
...Question.
If you just leave a hog will other hogs come near it because it's food, or will they stay away because they know you're out there?
>>29250012
one of these types
>>29250127
Leave for a bit but they'll come back for a snack.

You might as well just say that you shouldn't eat pork because the quran said so.
>>29250127
as far as I can tell most animals don't pay too much notice of dead members of their species.
I've tried leaving dead crows to keep crows out of my garden. did not work.
I also put a trail camera pointing at a deer carcass and gut pile after I got all the meat off to see what would come and eat it. got some crows, a hawk, and I think a bobcat dragged it away without triggering the cam, but the whole time the cam was pointed at the deer carcass there were other deer walking by like it was nothing. holy fuck I'm rambling.

.223 in the ear or forehead and they'll be dead before they hit the ground
Unlike deer, it's easy as fuck to pop their heads.
You'll be fine with the AR .223 if that's the only shots you take.
I'm the dude that does it with .22LR, .22WMR, .223, .22-250; they're all bang and flop
You only get runners with body shots.
Hunt. Don't just shoot the biggest part you see.
>>29246078
People like that should not be allowed to reproduce.
I've wasted about a dozen hogs with my SKS. Brown Bear 154g soft points.
>>29249839
Oh I don't know, we have to eat? However we can control our impact on the environment because we have a brain capable of logic. Hogs will breed like nature intends them to. Without the kinds of predators in the wilds of Europe, they will keep breeding beyond sustainability. They're destroying our environment and farmlands. You want to reduce the need for food? Kill yourself. One less mouth to feed, faggot.

Isn't the taste problem usually related to hogs being fond of eating a bunch of garbage?
I've heard that the farther away from people they are the better they taste because they have much less opportunity to eat actual garbage and other nasty shit we "provide".
>>29252064
the testosterone in the older hogs fucks with the taste too. That's why hogs castrated as piglets taste better.
The older the animal is, the more the meat is ruined by it's hormones
>>29252118
That makes sense with the people catching and raising the piglets then, get all that done then grow a bacon seed into a boar.
>>29242074

My dad used 22lr for his pig trap. He was just 5 feet away
If you are serious about hunting them, .308 or thirdy aught six would both be good choices. Maybe 7.62x39. You could use 5.56 but I wouldn't.

Farm raised pork has been trichinosis free for a long time in the US.
The few isolated cases of trichinosis in people in the US have been traced to human carriers infected in Latin America.

>>29251949
He is right though. Adrenaline and fear ruins meat. You want to put the eating stuff down as nicely as you can. There's a few species of ungulate out there where it's so bad that if you don't 100 to 0 it with a clean heart shot unaware it's not even worth eating. Eradication kills, who gives a fuck if the body cavity is full of shit and the meat is tainted.
>>29252118
>>29252142
I've heard of people trapping them as piglets and castrating simply to release them again for later hunting.

A single pack of wolves range over a much wider area than coyotes. In addition to pushing out competing coyote packs, there is some evidence that the wolf packs would result in lower domesticated animal deaths over time.
Meanwhile, domestic hogs continue to amass huge agricultural damages across my state, and their numbers are growing. If the wolves kill less cattle than the coyotes, and they keep the hog population down, that's a win\win.

Higher function autism, social phobias, mathematics disorder (I'm so bad at math it's a diagnosed disability), OCD, AHDH, Tourette's, all sorts of fun. Yes it's all actually diagnosed, you don't get social security with a damn self diagnosis.
Because of all that I either can't get, or can't keep a damn job. Came to the conclusion that I'll probably have to work for myself. Going to try and make some nice target stands for steel after I learn some basic welding stuff hopefully.

jesus did your ma drink lead paint while she was pregnant?
>>29253029
fuck yeah dude, I've actually looked into building my own silhouette targets and was figuring price of materials and whatnot. I think I came up with about $45 in materials for 3/8" plate steel and some square tubing. Sell those for a some profit, and you're in business. Also a professional welder, but not difficult to learn what you're talking about.
>some of my work
the thinig about boars is they reproduce faster than you can kill them anyway. you kill 1 out of 3 in the litter of young pigs, and the other 2 have like 20 babies within 2 months. they are a big problem in texas and california
>>29253029
Whatever man, don't let a diagnosis tell you what you can and can't do. Know a lot of people who think that way and a few who try anyway.
Do what you can if only to keep busy.
Alternatively, if you aren't physically disabled, work under the table somewhere local they won't abuse you. I know a guy in a similar boat who works at the local paintball field and uses the money to finance an ebay business to supplement the disability which covers his basic needs.
>>29253061
She gave him his first beers and bottle of whiskey through an umbilical cord it would seem.
>>29253083
Figure it won't be too terribly hard, just have to actually do it. Know a bunch of guys who learned welding funny enough so it'll be easy to get into. Only other thing getting in the way is probably the most blatant thing that I forgot to mention. God damn mother fucking hand tremors... can't shoot pistol for shit because of that.
>>29253117
Pretty much what the target stands will be. If I can really get them selling I might be able to actually try and get off the damn disability altogether which really is the end goal. Biggest problem with disability and other benefits is they keep you in the hole unless you cheat.
>>29253211
Yeah all you'd really need to do it would be a wirefeed welder, an oxy-acetelene torch, and some hand tools. As far as the hand tremors, I'd build jigs that you could lay on the material and drag the mig gun/ oxy torch along so you wouldn't need to freehand it. A little business like that could do ok, it definitely would cost shit to run.
Hogs are probably one of the greatest arguments against magazine capacity restriction advocates that exists.
You need every single round you can get against these fuckers.
Speaking of, I have never been hog hunting but have always wanted to go. I nee to organize something one day. Its not like my family doesn't have a shitload of land to do so on anyways.
>>29253089
Will boars from a massacred group be able to join up with another group? If they can, you can do what some other countries have done to eradicate goats.
>encounter herd via helicopter
>capture one female, massacre the others
>fit some sort of tracking device to the survivor and let it go
>survivor joins another herd
>roll back in with helicopters to repeat process
Apparently it was very effective in the Galapagos islands, though I'm assuming goats and boars have different social tendencies.
I'm honestly surprised the military doesn't use boar extermination to practice against moving targets with live ammo. Imagine how great that would be for guys in attack choppers to practice shooting fleeing goatfuckers by practicing on pigs.

Pigs aren't any more fond of feces than most animals. They do, however, tend to wallow.
In enclosed spaces, like the ones that domestic pigs are raised in, this means they end up wallowing in shit.
>>29249648
It's a fucking safari rifle.
If you're good enough to get decent first shot hits on moving pigs any safari cartridge (375H&H and up) will completely fucking ruin a hog's day.

Savage actually makes a bolt-action specifically meant for hog hunting for pretty cheap with a light composite stock, 20 in threaded barrel, iron sights, and already prepped for scope mounts. One in .308 is actually my next purchase, but they also make a .223 I think. It's a model 11 Hog Hunter.
