    It depends where you hit them, I shot a 162lb boar on Saturday with my .223. It was a head shot. Shot placement is always the most important thing especially the big ones

    My father-in-law shot 600 pigs with his .223 last year during the NSW drought last year. He didn't lose any (or so he says). He's up on the Northern Tablelands almost dead flat country, hard to...

    Bigger is better when it comes to pigs, unless head and neck shooting.

    I hit an average sized boar in the neck with 308 168gr sierra matchking. It was pretty close at 15yards or so but those copper jacket hollow points do the job a treat. It blew a huge exit hole and he...

    Do you currently have a centre fire rifle? If yes then just use that as you will be comfortable shooting it. Just be weary if it's a small caliber on large boars. The shield on a large boar can stop...

    .270 or any of the .30 cal will be more than adequate suppressed even better.

    What do you currently have? .223 with barnes or partitions, a 243 or 250 with anything and any larger calibre is more than enough.

    It's definitely worth the effort and time to gut and carry the boned out carcass to the ute. Wild pork is delicious

    You don't need anything special, a standard bush hunting setup will do the job. .308 or similar calibres will knock them down dead and cover goats and deer as well.

    Not always easy to make accurate age and potential judgements on the fly, especially in the scrub. Not all of us have the fancy spotters and gear that you see on the hunting shows. Dulley’s make it...
