Bow hunting wouldn't be very effective really. Did you try slug shots, 12g. That should stop them in their tracks, I would think anyways. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atb j I bought the HK sl8 223 semi auto for pigs. 223 didnt do the job shotguns are limited to 3 rds so not worth carrying. i can fit 10 round pistol mags in my rifle so 10 rds of 7.62 is far better than 3 slugs the survive our winters. Thats why we are plagued with them 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With out at least two of these methods, (I'd go for dog and trapping) i can't see how yer supposed make a dent in the population. Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It seem like a good, and in the eyes of the public, humane way of reducing the population. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
