    This whole middy vs carbine gas has been overblown, with perceived "softer" shooting of the mid. Personally, I don't feel much of a difference. Your experiences may vary.
    The great thing about WEVO is Beginners, like me, can get "real" help without the hype from people we respect. Thanks UWone77 and thanks, all of you.

    What are you supposed to hunt deer with then? Just curious is all.

    As for hogs come on down to Texas. We have enough to go around and you don't even need a permit and there is no 'season'.

    The thing about hogs is it's all about shot placement not just caliber. The anatomy of a hog is something people don't take into account. The kill spot is actually rather small. Accurate shots are more important than anything if you ask me.

    I have seen guys blow a hog away with a .308 and yeah he's dead for sure but I've hunted them with something as small as a 9mm pistol. It all depends on what you want to do and how you are hunting them.

    The good thing about hogs is you can experiment on them. A friend of mine has shot them with a .50 and they basically blow up on impact. A .300 Win Mag does a lot of damage too. .308 can flip em end over end.

    But the way I like to go for them is to stalk them. It makes it a lot more fun and there is a variety of skills involved.

    Some of the guys around here are shooting them from helicopters. Pretty much every form and format to hunt a hog is possible.

    Ha ha - Sounds good. As long as you don't mind Alamo and I welcoming people with Texas accents. We promise to use "howdy" with judicious restraint. ;-)
