kcall Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Went out tonight to see if a hog was under one of my feeders an sure enough there was. I had a spotlight in one hand and a 243 in the other hand. The first shot I hit the hog and it limped off. Pretty sure it was a back hip shot maybe. The second shot I'm not sure if I hit it or not. I really don't care if I recover the hog, I just want them gone. This hog was close to 300 pounds. Do you think it will survive or will it lay down somewhere and die.

hoytshooter09 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 If u didn't hit any major arteries it will survive hogs are some of the toughest animals I have ever hunted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoytshooter09 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Plus the 243 against a 300lb pig u would have to hit it in some major vitals to kill it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcall Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 wounded hog That's what I'm thinkin. I think I may have pissed it off also with the 243. Hopefully he will stay out for awhile now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WStreblo Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 wounded hog I shot a monster Russian Boar and it took 4 12ga slugs to mow him over. Your 243 probably stung him a good one but he will be back. Next time use TNT... Instant bacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'd say he'll live unless you got lucky and punctured a gut. Kill them all! Buzzards gotta eat too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
