OK, here's the deal. There's some public hunting land with hogs on it, but the WMA regs say you can only use archery, .22 rimfire (including 22 magnum), or shotgun with size BB or smaller (not larger) on the hogs, strangely enough. I guess the concern is safety - they don't want the bullets carrying far & wide. So would it be insane to go after them with a .22 magnum with headshots, or should just stick to archery? Don't think I'd even try a shotgun with little shot like that - that's just plain unethical it seems.
