[QUOTE="fire fox, post: 678062, member: 51757"] I was a range rider for Lykes Brothers years ago and we had to dispatch at least 200 of them a year. Many of these were with a 22 LR pistol with an ear hole shot. Never had one get away. However, this is far from ideal for some one that pays for a hunt or the ocasional hunter for them. I have found that any reasonable rifle for deer with the proper weight or constructed bullet will work wonderful on a hog under 300 lbs. This includes the 30-30, 308 and up, 270 , 7-08 and up, 44 mag and up ( 357 will work if careful). They are tough but not bullet proof. More attention should be taken as to placement and bullet construction. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
