In about a month I am going boar hunting in imperial county, california.
I am an avid outdoorsman, and in the past ten years have taken a few deer, and an antelope, and a black bear. I keep missing out on the nevada bighorn, next year I will get that lottery! I know my 30-06 or 30-30 could take down a wild boar no problem, but I just got this mini-14 .223 that I tricked out and I really want to use it to take down a boar. I do not want to wound the animal and have it go through extra misery if I have to track it. Do you guys think a .223 round is too small with too little stopping power for wild boar? Should make for some great eatin.
