Great California Pig Hunt!!

The last pig hunt of 2011. Took us three days to bag this boar. One of our customers shot this pig in the leg five years ago and he lived to die another day! Shot with a Winchester Model 70 in 7mm mag at 175 yards at sunset, 1-2-2012.

I am a newcomer to these hunting videos. In USMC boot camp (too many years ago) I won a "High Shooter" medal but have always thought I would NEVER hunt animals. I now would like to hunt Feral Swine. I have a question though. It seems there is a reluctance to target the sows (especially pregnant) and the piglets. Why? Are they any less destructive of the crops? Is it less "manly"? I've seen videos with these critters all over the place and pregant sows and numerous piglets and down go the boars.

@19KIMLYN72 First of all, thank you for your service! When it comes to hunting pigs, there are three basic catagories that hunters fall in to. 1) Trophy hunters, they only want the biggest badest boars to hang on their wall. 2) Meat hunters, they only care about the meat they will harvest and typically aim to shoot a younger animal, sex is not a concern. 3) Depredation hunters, they don't really care about size, shape or sex. They just want them eradicated from their land. cont....

@19KIMLYN72 cont...We make an effort to avoid shooting "wet" sows, the ones that are obviously nursing, but we shoot dry sows all the time. There's nothing wrong with it. We want our herd to grow, so I'll flat out tell a guy he can't shoot if I can't identifiy a dry sow or boar. We also shoot any pig that doesn't have the right characteristics, such as floppy ears or spots. I hope I answered your question.

These are some great videos. Thanks for sharing them. I learned some really informative stuff with respect to skinning a hog.

@TheHeritage2011 No, unfortunately hunting is only open to friends and family of the ranch owner. A carefully placed shot with any caliber could potentially take down any animal, but typically a .223 would not be used on big game. .243 or bigger is recommended (we prefer that our hunters bring .270 - 7mm mag). .223 is a great small game round; coyote, bobcat, long range ground squirrel/prairie dog, etc.
