Hey nice shootin, i just got into hog huntin.

I use either a ruger m77 heavy barrel in .243, or a rem m700 sps in 17 rem fireball. both are tack drivers. The 55 gr win and the 58 gr hornady's really do a number on hogs. I live in ohio, right on the river. So the banks are overun with hogs. I have got 3 with the .243 and 2 with the .17 so far this year.

The Ruger M77 is a nice rifle. We use one chambered in .257 Roberts for deer and groundhog. Its a great all-purpose cartridge. We have also noticed that groundhogs tend to make their holes on banks next to water alot of the time, but we dont really know why. They really dont drink water, they get all the moisture they need from the grass they eat.

Why dont you take a video camera with you next time you hunt?

Im thinking about getting a rifle cam. I need to get a good day when my brother can film some hunting. My brother has a H&R handi rifle in 204. Its a cheap single shot, but it gets the job done. I shoot across the river most of the time They all were over 100 yrds, the longest shot was 160 yrds with the fireball. Every now and then i will see one sun bathing on a rock or fallen tree. I sneak down the bank and shoot them while they sleep.

I would not recommend getting a rifle-cam. It transfers the vibration of the shot into the camera and the video shakes all around and looks like crap. Just take the time to set a camera on a tri-pod or a sandbag and your video will turn out fine. Its all about planning ahead of time and getting set up properly.

Nice shooting!

I shoot rabbits out where I live, and cottontails at that, so they're small little suckers. I use a .17hmr and I'll push it to about 150 yards.

If we had ground hogs or wood chucks or anything (I live in Vail Arizona by the way), my pops has a Remington 700 chambered in .308 for that. ;-)

glad to see those damn things getting shot we cant shoot them where I live too many people around

I thought a gun cam would work, but after thinking about what you said and the fact of strapping junk to my rifle doesent seem the way to go. I will just get a nice tri pod and set my cam next to me next trip out. Thanks for the tips.

Yeah, me and my brother have a few farms to hit yet. So they are overun with em. We will take a vid cam with us next time we go together. Chubby little things are loads of fun to shoot
