well I view this entirely different. Prior to the AR15 craze I judged hunters by their weapon. If a guy showed up with an old beat up single shot or bolt gun you knew he could shoot. If he showed up with a 30-06 I had my doubts. If it was a semi auto 30-06 I knew right away, it was going to be a long trip!
The guy that finally shoots the hog did a good job putting the hog down. However had he made the original shooter use his sticks properly things may have been different. Always keep the shooting sticks closer to the receiver, not out on the end of the barrel.
I have shot hogs with a .458 socom, you've got to be a pretty bad shot for the first round not to lay them out at any size. Just my .02
I guess I've spent way too much time hunting with people that can't shoot.
Me to SCAR in 5.56 I think a heavy would have laid the hog outI have shot hogs with a .458 socom, you've got to be a pretty bad shot for the first round not to lay them out at any size. Just my .02
Was he shooting a socom? I thought is was a 223 from the lack of muzzle rise.
