I'm sitting on some pretty good videos. Looks like I'll be able to put them up in April. I'll probably have some more by then.

Suppressors are legal to own in most states, but are illegal to use for hunting most animals. We use one detachable suppressor on an LWRC M6A3 6.8 SPC. Our other two are integral (non-detachable) 77/44 Rugers. All are legal with an NFA Stamp from the BATFE. This process from inception (ordering the suppressor) to having it in my hand took almost 11 months this last year for the 6.8.

isent a surpresser illegal in all 50 states im in Oregon so i know its illegal in Oregon but Ive heard that if its not detachable its legal and also Ive heard but i don't know that theirs a few states where surpressers are legal when detachable?

Very good. We have Canadian bacon and ham made from choice cuts. The ribs and pork sausage we make are also delicious. A very good source of information on feral hogs may be found on the Texas Boars website, including recipes.

Excellent shot, love how the bullet hit the dirt behind the hog as it went right through him.
Surprised it didnt drop him.

We have two ATN scopes and one Night Optics. It would be fair to say that the Night Optics is the superior scope, but they also cost a minimum of $1000 more than the comparable ATN in Gen 3, plus the cost of an infrared illuminator (ATN includes one with their scopes). After that, determine the range at which you will be shooting and pick a scope with the magnification that will make seeing the target possible. Once again the greater the magnification, the higher the cost.

He did the best he could given that it was the first time (and last time) we put the camera in his hands. I have shot all other posted video (good or bad).

One of the 77/44 rifles we use has an S&H suppressor out of Oklahoma. Our other .44 mag rifle as well as our 6.8 (titanium) were suppressed by Doug Melton of SRT Arms out of Arizona.

Where did you get the work on the .44 mag rifles? Also where did the titanium suppressor get made at?

We run closer to an 85/90% instant kill. I totally agree that the spine/arteries must be hit. Any hog, no matter the size, will go nowhere if hit in the spine. If hit in the arteries, I've seen a 140# sow go every bit of 300 yards before bleeding out. The moral to the story-HIT THE SPINE----PERIOD!!!
Thanks for the comment, very relevant.

Hunting is the best and most cost effective (not at taxpayers expense, but a revenue generator due to license fees) means of population control for game animals. These are not game animals-as designated by the state. Here is an argument for vegetarians, which are usually anti-hunting. Either you eat, or feral hogs eat! Any vegetables or fruit within their reach is as good as destroyed if feral hogs get into a field. This is not intended as a slam, just fact-seen it first-hand.

i understand the reason of hunting, but it just makes me cry, poor animals :(

The average neck shot is a 50/50 instant kill in my opinion. You have to penetrate the spinal, or get the main arteries; even then, a strong one can run a few yards after the shot

Gen 2's nearly as good for most purposes, and much cheaper. You should at least get a gen 2 one.

Thanks, finally a post of agreement over what seems to be pretty clear.
