Texas pig hunt/.223

[TRnCO]

I think for the most part hogs in TX. aren't concidered much more than a nuisance and this video would be more in line with ADC than "hunting" per say. If you guys don't like that video, I'd highly suggest not looking or watching any of the heli. hog shoots. It's a numbers game, shootem' when ya see'em, count'em later. Not all the hogs are destined for the dinner table. As a friend of mine that lives in TX. tells me, the crows, coyotes, and ants need to eat too..My friend killed 53 hogs last year on his little bitty 40 acre piece of ground and I can assure you, he didn't eat'em all.

Ive seen pigs take a poorly placed 30-06 and .308 and run off and not be found. Its ALL about shot placement! i personally have hunted pigs with ARs and they are just fine to put some swine down but as I said before shot placement, shot placement, shot placement!

Pest control, hunting, shooting for fun there shouldn't be a different set of ethics for any of them. If you're going to take the responsibility of taking an animal's life, you have the responsibility to do it cleanly, humanely, skillfully, and quickly.

I agree 100%.

so, if you guys go out and shoot prairie dogs, do you stretch you effective distance limit, ever? When you do, what happens when you don't center punch the prairie dog? What happens then if the prairie dog drags itself to its hole and goes in? Do you grab your shovel and rush out and dig it up so that you can finish it off quickly? Was it humane of you to take a shot that you weren't 100% of making a clean kill on? Talking ethics when talking about pest control is a slippery slope. One mans ethical treatment may not be another's. We each have to find and meet our own ethics and be careful when pointing fingers at others when they don't do exactly as yourself does.

[Dingo]

No, not really. Ethics are ethics. And for the record, I don't, and won't, shoot prairie dogs for that specific reason. I don't use living things to brush up on my target practice, so your argument here misses the point.

An AK "7.62x39" is virtually identical to a 30-30 in ballistics, and being 30 cal is legal for much more game

7.62x39 or 7.62x54? I'd hunt deer with a Mosin Nagant or Dragunov, but not really sure with an AK.

I would have no problem using a PSL.

Unfortunately, poachers in Africa have been known to shoot some rather big game with AKs.
