What caliber for Hog hunting in OK

[CHenry]

You got that right. I ran chainsaw yesterday evening, and it was pleasantly hot. Big difference between 85 and 100. Calling for a high of 70 tomorrow, and 2-5 inches of rain, local amounts as much as 8 inches. Not typical July weather for sure.

Let's hope we see that much rain!

A .22 in the eye will do it

It is better a little further back. But a .22lr is plenty. Ironic that .22lr is tougher to come by than .50BMG ammo.

We've not had any July evenings like this in years....better take advantage of it. Perfect conditions for video and tracers.

You know I do have a box of .308 tracers, but I haven't sighted them in the M1A. I guess I can walk em in, right?

Not uncommon to have steamy air under there during summer weather. (less than classy 7000th post, but oh well)

The biggest problem that people make for themselves is not understanding swine biology. They're built a lot more compactly than deer.

Couple of corrections here, I think we are talking about swine anatomy, more than biology. And while they physically may be more compact than a deer, they actually have a lot bigger target area. On a deer, one would normally only take a shot at the heart and lungs, as shown in your diagram. On a hog, feel free to take a shot at any area you see marked in green in the image below. Once you get a confirmed hit somewhere in the green area, move on to the next hog and repeat until all ammunition is depleted.

Uh, okay. Thank you for your "input." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/biology?s=t
