How many of them have you killed now over the years do you know? Right when I got into bed last night my trail cams sent pictures to my phone showing hogs just arrived to start tearing up my yard so I got dressed and grabbed my rifle plus my hunting headlamp then went out and spotted some at the beginning of my trail 50yds away so offhand I shot a black one around 100lbs but the others ran away into the woods before I could get another one. Ho boy, no ideaI think quite a few Good job keeping them at bay, once they find a place they like they are relentless.I'm guessing in the 100s because you've been posting kills here for years. They'll find out the hard way like the others have that they royally messed up picking my place because I'm more determined to protect my property than they are to destroy it. Continued success!

I found Manny over on the Black years ago The black is a New zealand airgun forum, here was this guy killing pigs way back then with a air rifle, I sent him a message asked him to check us out, He has been here ever since. David
Yeah Manny, I get the practice of using a big bore, but when did it dawn on you to take head shots with small bore air rifles. I've been interested in hog hunting since I was a kid tagging along with my Pop. The use of air rifles never occurred to me. Somebody was cutting edge...You!!!

David yeah, that's right those where different days indeed,Back then there was virtually no information in hog hunting with air rifles, and the little that was out there was exclusively with big bores.When I started harvesting hogs with Small bore air rifles I got a lot of push back from the established crew at the "Yellow" and "Adventures in airguns"I got called all kinds of names for a long time, but I knew that what I was doing was efficient and ethical so I kept on.........Look where we are now, hog hunting with small bore is normal today and a farly common practice And thanks David,...GTA is the golden standard.
Im waiting on when he kills one with a slingshot, I sure wouldnt put it past him. David
My spear isn't made for throwing but for lunging at
I can't remember Manny do you spot and stalk, bait and shoot from a blind or stand? I had 9 show up last night in my yard but they spooked before I could get a shot off. Because of swirling wind I suspect they winded me. Didn't do hardly any yard damage for me to have to fix at least.
