I was talking with my neighbor last night and we were talking about going hog hunting. Our lease is in East Texas and I told him that there are some pretty big oinkers on it and that he needed to bring his rifle and a sidearm. We started talking about some of the hogs that we have taken and he shared with me that last season he shot a 400 pounder with his .30-06 and that he shot in the shoulder. He didn't hit the bone, just a little behind it and the bullet didn't pass through.
Frankly, I couldn't believe that...
A .243, maybe, but a .30-06 should have been rocketed out the other side.... Anyone else had an experience like this? Frankly, I haven't ever hit one with a .30-06 and to tell you the truth, I haven't always checked to see if my 30-30 has gone through. My .257 usually does, but again, I haven't ever gotten into it with a 400 pound porker
