Thread: .223 for bailed pigs?

Sorry not being a pig hunter but interested the topic is bailing pigs do you normally shoot them at 200 to 300 yards when they have been bailed not trying to start a internet fight just trying to get my head around the bailing thing

When dogs bail depending on the dog some bail at a safe distance and some like it close . Ie foxterier bail like a foot away . Some pigs will just sit down and not move . Good experianced dogs will bail at distance to not provoke it to breaking and running . The hunter can sneak in and shoot these ones easily. So it's not normally possible to shoot from a distance of more than a few meters . Bailing dogs are preferred in more open country (scattered scrubby farmland ) .
