Being a very experienced hunter with many years shooting hogs, in your opinion is something like the Marauder .25 cal under powered to hunt these animals? Just curious and planning ahead for future investments. T
Manny:Why hogs? The reason I ask is you clearly can hunt but are deer and other decent sized game not around on the island? Or do they not interest you to hunt them?Enjoyed the pics.BZ

Also explains why you camo up so much too LOL!Well is it cost prohibitive to hunt on the other islands?BZ
I'm curious. Do you ever use tree stands? If so, what do you think is a good height?

Nice. Deer season is out over here, and I have some new items I'd like to try on some hogs. Their supposed to be here, but I'm finding little sign so far, mostly lots of deer evidence. I'm not a big fan of getting too high up in the trees anymore, but since hogs have a pretty low angle of vision, I suspected I could go lower, below 10ft and still have enough height.
