I use a Ruger MK2 22 pistol with a red dot on it
Winchester Power Point ammo
Not always able to get them
As I am the limmiting factor
Normaly I am good to 25 or so yds
I have hit a few past 50 yds
But a little luck was involved LOL

Nope. The rest of you guys don't realize how good you have it when it comes to shooting whistle pigs for a little fun. Some of you kill more in a day than you could find and kill in a week around here. Don't get me wrong, there are a few around, but hunting them is futile. For those of you who have been to our farm, it should be groundhog heaven. The only one we see lives under the barn and has for a few years. The coyotes have all but killed them off. With all the driving I do, I'm lucky to see 1 a week...
Old pic but a good shot on my part. 23 yards is where I hit him on the run. One shot did it. Too bad it was a $1.50 gold dot that I shot him with...
I'll take ya on a guided ground hog hunt...... guaranteed to shoot 25 or more in a full day of hunting........

That would be a fun day...once they get this first cut down in the hay fields and the beans get up a little more...it will be great. You could probably get to slaying em now. I just havent had the extra time.
An aquintance of mine used to drive guys around to shoot w-pigs. He asked permission to hit our farms and we were happy to let him go for it. I was walking out to check cams and about stepped on one of his clients. He was in full ghillie leaning against a stump.
He had a van full and everyone of the guys had on full camo suits and high dollar rifles.
I laughed when he told me he charges $200/person/day....for w-pigs. He has moved since then but he was driving around $1,600 that day.
