If anyone eats a hog you think was killed with a 223, you'd better get checked out. He was probably diseased and just happened to die when you pulled the trigger. Your bullet probably blew up just under the skin and didn't even penetrate.

The original title for Alien vs. Predator was Alien and Predator vs Djones. The film was cancelled shortly after going into preproduction. No one would pay nine dollars to see a movie fourteen seconds long.

Oh dang those were great.

lol i read all 100 facts about djones... hilarious

My work blocks the sight. It's prolly a good thing.

True that. We all know the government doesn't have the sense The Good Lord gave a rock.

Here passthru. Maybe my personal link will work for you. Tell me who your employer is and I'll kick him in the face.

True story!! the ammo is cheaper than my big bores and for no more than I hunt them(more of an animal of opportunity) then so be it, it is proven that with the right load and right shooter/shot placement, it does in fact kill hogs.

Shoot 2" behind the ear. They arent as dangerous as people say unless you are within 20 yards are so. They will charge if cornered. I have killed hundreds of hogs with thermal gear under 50 yards. All sizes. Never once had one get away or charge me. Someone has been watching too much pig bomb.

djones has read too many Chuck Norris jokes.

Now where have I heard that before? Got any pics? You aren't by chance a Pro Staffer for Pig Crack are you?

U can kill a hog with a 17HMR amigo
...just do it in the right place...

no way a .223 round could get through a hogs kevlar enforced, super resistant, armor plated, lead repellant hide... just saying.

"Aim Small, Miss Small" no matter if its a .223 or a .308 a good shot will kill any Texas animal

Why would you shoot at an armor plate when you can just shoot them in the ear? Why make it any harder than it has to be? Can't hit the ear? Stalk them! I don't keep a hog kill talley but it's considerable. With one exception, I have never killed a hog (bow or rifle) that was over 25 yards from me. If you can't sneak up any closer than that, you need some Tutsi Tracking Training.

Seriously, I've killed them with 1 shot to the ear with a 22lr and seen other hogs take 5 hits with a 30-06 because the shooter insisted on shooting the body. Body shot - hard. Head shot - easy. Do the math. Or pretend there's math to do. Then do the math.

I completely understand making a good first shot, but do you just quit after that and watch the others run off?

And Brandon, don’t be coy. Everyone knows you shoot armor piercing 9mm bullets

By reading all these posts of Hunter's extraordinaries, who make all these headshots, I would think that Old Spice could make a commercial based on these claims.

I wonder how many of the local Hog Hunting outfitters use .223 bolt or semis for their hunts?

BB

that I do, that I do. It has been a while since Ive taken one with the handgun, last one I took was with a 5.45mm.... which is smaller than the .223 lol. Didnt even hit him in the ear.

Would anyone care to share their experience with using a .223 in this type situ-ation?

Yes. The rest run off. Then I go hunt another one. If your only intent is to kill as many as possible, just spray bullets into the midst of them and let them run off and die somewhere else.

I can't speak for anyone else but when I can't put a bullet in a pigs ear at 25 yards, it's time to quit.

Amen!

The only possible way to kill a Texas superhog:

I’ve approached within 25 yards and closer during the day with cover. But that’s very risky in a wide open area at night. Usually they bust you anyway. I think they see better at night than in the day. If you get that close on a herd at night, they can go berserk after the first shot. You can only see one direction through the night scope and may not see porkers circling toward you. Sometimes I’ve heard them coming and had to pull of my target to acquire the charger. I know I photoshop a lot, but this stuff really happens to me.

Of course I want to kill as many as possible, but I learned a long time ago not to “shoot into the covey”. I fully expect every one of my shots to hit a hog. But when they’re running at 200 yards, it isn’t going to be behind the ear.

I understand some folks take this stuff more seriously than others. Perhaps I’m teasing a bit hard about the 223, but I only do that cause one of my hunting buddies uses one, and I like to give him (and you guys) a hard time. I have a rig that works well for me. My conditions are very similar to Rod Pinkston's at JagerPro and so is my equipment. That guy knows more about killing hogs than anyone in the world. But if you shoot golf in the 100s, then go ahead and take lessons from someone who shoots in the 90s.

I’m going hunting now. I may not get anything, but I’ll meet you all back here tomorrow and we'll compare pics with what y'all kill in the next 24 hours. Maybe the experts can correct my mistakes.

c’mon jdub. get those blinders off and put on a company hat. you’re in a hog thread. of course it gets my blood pumping. how can you say something like that when you’ve got a post like this…

Oh Djones I am hunting tonight but it's split tails...

.223 3 of the 4 were on the run and all dropped with in 40 yards.


.223 to the neck folded instantly


You can ask this sow if the .223 works


Or maybe these two.


The magical .223 bullet did it again.


This guy behind the shoulder with a .223 round didnt even make it out from under the feeder.


.223 taught this one how to play dead in front of my ground blind!
