Does anyone have recommendations on how to trap coyotes on land where there are a lot of wild hogs? We hunt deer and hogs here and would like to get rid of some coyotes but the bait I would use for coyotes is something hogs would also want to eat. I suppose I could just let the hogs go if I...

It's good to have some more penetration on a hog. The .45 ACP Leigh copper bullet is lighter than lead but it will penetrate deeper like a hardcast bullet would. The shield would be on a larger more mature boar, the ones I have seen that had decent shields have been over 150lbs and it depends...

No one who had any idea how the average poor person lives in most places would even consider this as a legitimate question. Only a very liberal person in a comfortable western country would even be able to come up with this.

I would try to buy one case to test for accuracy although most rounds will probably work fine. My AR10 shoots Accubonds and TTSX very well, but not fusions although they have a very good reputation for being accurate. I like to have the most accurate round possible because it means I can shoot...

No deer this year, but got a few tasty pigs. Had a pretty nice coyote that I missed (misjudged the range) too. I passed a few does trying to let them come in closer. Spent some good time with friends.

You can test your estimates with velocity by sighting in at 100 (or whatever) and measuring the drop at 200 and 300. You can plug the round into a ballistics calculator (I like JBM Ballistics) and compare. There are a few tests online where you can estimate but it will vary a little based on...

Those are some good deer. One of the guys at our hunting camp uses those for deer and hogs of various sizes. Always explode like a grenade radiating shock at about 45 degrees, generally damage for 4 inches wide or so. Lots of bullets recovered just under the skin of a 150+lb hog. I'd say they...

One lesson I have learned the hard way is when you hit bone you really can damage a lot of meat. Hitting a large bone like the shoulders you threaten the meat in the front limbs, and depending on the angle, a lot of the steaks in the upper back as well. The bullets can turn the bone into...

I think I would use the barnes XPB and be careful with placement on large boars. The barnes should penetrate better than the 10mm version that I have seen do less than 12in in gel. The .357 magnum version has more sectional density. I believe the xtreme penetrator fluid dynamics is mostly hype...

Yessir! I just posted an update above, 130gr TTSX working well so far. I am curious about the Hornady CX but I wanted the velocity of the 130gr TTSX. If I had a 30.06 I might go with the CX just to try it.

I harvested a 181lb boar with the 1380gr TTSX last weekend. The shot was from about 150 yards. Pig didn’t go anywhere though that’s hardly surprising given the placement. As I expected from reading other forums, rifle damage was 1-1.25in wide but without a bunch of fragmentation. I think I...

I always carry a Glock 40 10mm in a pancake holster. Generally load with 200gr hardcast but sometimes load 200gr XTP.

Currently what I have out is Glock 43 with 115gr Hornady Handgun Hunter. Usually it is a Glock 40 10mm with 200gr XTP. When I lived in the hood it was a Mossberg 590 with 24 pellet #1 buck, with one in the chamber.

In winter the cons of having armor go down for me so I sometimes wear soft armor when fishing in sketchy places. Generally it is not practical to have it.

The 130gr TTSX was accurate in my gun yesterday, so now I will see how it does on a pig. Thank you everyone for sharing.

Many of us use coolers to ice our meat or quartered game and we want to make sure they don't contain any harmful bacteria from all the game meat we store in them. My process is the following: 1. Rinse out immediately after using 2. Wash with soap 3. add bleach to water and coat all the...

The main issue I see with fragmenting (pistol) ammo is that the fragments might not go deep enough to reach a vital. All of the expert standards for selecting defensive ammo mention a minimum penetration depth (the FBI uses 12-18in in 10% ballistics gel) and the FBI standard says the minimum...

I see more undergunning in the online community (Facebook). .300 BO or .223 are not ideal for hunting large hogs and not everyone who uses one is that old timer shooting a 1in group at 100yds. I specifically remember some posting a video where they shot an 80lb pig with a .300 BO six times...

Most of my shots are 25-215, with an occasional 250yd -300 at one blind. There is one other place with a possible 350yd shot but I don't see game there as much. If I get real accurate at 300 I might try the TTSX on a pig at 350. I will need to put a little range time in this summer to shoot...

This summer I plan to put some range time in with my 10mm and the goal is to get very close to a large boat. We have a few decent boars (for me) like the one attached that would make a lot of sausage. I would like to get real close to at night while wearing my HECS camo. I will hunt with 200gr...
