I’ve killed them with 22mag and 17HMR. What’s your preference on rim fire calibers for hogs of all sizes?

Rim fire caliber on hogs….

Still need to put pressure on the pigs and not waste expensive arrows/broad heads.
Waste arrows and broadheads? You’re a bowhunter? Hell take advantage of the archery opportunities. We don’t get enough as it is. If you’re too tight to use your “deer arrows” buy some similar sized single cheap arrows from Academy/Walmart or in bulk on EBay. Buy some broadheads that can be resharpened and reused on a pass through and give em hell. I’d almost rather shoot pigs these days than deer anyway with a bow. There’s no, “what’s his age, what’s he score or who am I gonna **** off shooting this deer?” It’s see a pig shoot a pig …and have fun.
I’m on pig #4 with the same broadhead and arrow currently. Same head went through a mgmt buck in November and I reworked it.

Go get some inexpensive Muzzy tracor, they work well for me, just shoot up the center of front leg. I mark the fletching with a sharpe every time I get a hit and they keep going. Maybe I should be sharpening but have not yet.
So far I've only one blade bent slightly on a close hit which hit backbone.
