I was invited to a pig hunt in Texas but didn't plan ahead well What was I going to do with it after I shot it? It would take several days to get it processed and I would have to drive 1200 miles round trip to go back and pick up a hundred pounds of pork. That was about the time the gas was over $3.00 a gallon and I figure that would put the pork to about $170.00 a pound! That would have to be some pretty darn tasty pig for that money! So, I decided I didn't really want one that bad and just messed around in the woods for a couple of days. I think my host thought I was disappointed but I wasn't. I should have taken my detector with me though. Thanks TT, next time I'll plan better. Monty
Oh, if the pig is causing damage to private property, it doesn't really matter what you shoot it with and you don't even need a license with permission of the land owner. I took a custom made 6.5 mm Swede Mauser with me but I have a Russian SKS that I wouldn't be afraid to use. Oh, and a custom chambered SMLE .45-70 for Hogzilla! That old 450 grain flat point lead bullet will take down an elephant if I happen to see one in Texas!
