This one ain't going to be producing any more litters! Put a bit of lead out of my Ruger 22 Mag right in her ear. Dropped like a rock, with barely a kick or squeal. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/02/full-54774-446146-piggydown2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/02/full-54774-446147-ruger_22_mag.jpg)

Good job. That size should be good eating.

22 Mag would be fun to shoot. Nice job ! I was really out trying to thin the coon population when this young lady trotted out. 22Mag ain't my favorite hog whacker, but as been repeatedly said, bullet placement is the most important aspect of taking out the piggies (or any other animal, as well.)

 Well done. I've got a Henry lever in .22 Mag., but the darn thing jams consistently. 'Had it looked at too.

When the hog walks out the .22 mag in your hands is better than the .30-06 sitting back in the safe .

It's like having your carry pistol in the glove compartment when you need it to neutralize a threat.

Put a bit of lead out of my Ruger 22 Mag right in her ear. At what distance? About 60 yards. I really made no attempt to pace it off and didn't have my range finder with me.
