Some times they end up looking like this. It didn't move at all for a second, then just fell over.

Used 22 mag to dispatch deer I don't see why it couldn't dispatch a hog. That said I made shots less than 50 yds. I probably wouldn't try a shot at 100 yds.

shot placement is the key with any gun/calibre.

I don't hunt deer with a .22 mag; that is illeagal. I've killed a deer with a broke leg from a cattle guard with a .22 mag by shooting it in the head. Same thing happened to a horse at same spot and used a .22 mag to dispatch it.

Itll work with proper shot placement like anything else nearly. I want to try it but it seems the hogs have disappeared from our lease this year, but I'm not complaining.

The 22 mag does a great job if you hit them in the ear or just below or just to the right a little. If you hit them to far to the right (snout/mouth area), it just ticks them off.
