BBB recommends it is even more important than ever for everyone to be aware of phishing scams. These can come in the form of prize offers, threatened punishments, or even a text message.

I’m often asked what caliber I prefer for hunting hog. Although this might sound like a pretty straightforward question, it really is a bit complex and one for which there is no ‘pat’ answer. My reply used to be something like, “Grab the largest caliber you own, load it with the heaviest bullet and you are ready to go.” While this answer certainly still suffices, it doesn’t do justice to all the different ways hogs are hunted today nor the many actions of rifles used. For instance, if hog control is one’s singular goal, the heavier the caliber the better, right? Well, maybe not. The heavier calibers are not normally used in the AR style rifles that are so popular today with hog hunters, especially those that go after wild porkers after dark with thermal or digital optics. Shooting multiple wild hogs running across a wheat field at night requires a semi auto rifle and a night scope that facilitates quick target acquisition and the ability to recover from recoil quickly. Although very heavy calibers such as the 500 Auto Max or .450 Bushmaster are available, they haven’t become popular with the majority of hog hunters using the AR platform.
