Granted i was using a .22
But i placed the 1st shot with the hog quartered away from me, right behind the ear, into the head.
The hog started charging the cage blood spewing out, so i shot it again. Rolled onto the ground kicking and trying to get up.
I felt kind of bad so i shot it again in the side of the head.
Still it wasnt going down so i shot it again in the side of the head, still kicking, this time out of reflexes.
Ive heard that behind the head is an instant kill, and we didnt want to use a high caliber weapon on this small sow, in a cage.
The hog was shot at point blank range basically.
Is this normal, or should a 22 take em out just as good at this range?
Yes the bipod is jerry rigged on, but it was the only viable option. Used as the stray cat killer
