Hog Hunting when I'm home

[swampman46]

I would make sure it's legal to hunt(esp in WMAs), with a 22 cal bullet. Maybe hog hunting is different than deer. I hear different things.

Unless a WMA has a specific, stand-alone rule, 55gr projectile and, centerfire cartridge are the basic requirement of rifle hunting deer(unless something changed this year).

He said AR-15 not MP 15-22, I would think he is shooting .223 which is a centerfire rifle round.

i was thinking the same thing lol.

how did .22 come in to play?

its a 223/556 which yes is a 22 cal diameter but nothing in the same sentence. you can get 75gr bullets easily with the 223 and you can definitely hunt hogs and deer with it.

rule of WMA is you can carry a pistol only of .22 cal with rat shot during bow season. you can carry a hunting caliber pistol to hunt with if its gun season.

also make sure you only have a 5rd mag in that ar-15 or else youll be losing it if you get caught. cant hunt with a bigger mag than that.

Good info there. It would definitely suck to lose a gun like that.
