No offense to the Mosin lovers here (I'm one too), but if I were hunting hogs with a bow, and wanted a powerful rifle for a backup, I'd want something much faster operating than a Mosin Nagant bolt-action rifle. My 91/30 isn't the fastest thing out there as far as working the bolt, I'd personally want an autoloader or levergun for quick follow-up shots before the hog got ahold of me. I'd want short, lightweight, big caliber, quick handling, and powerful. But that's just me.

There's no question the Mosin's 7.62x54R round will clobber a hog right now, I'm just saying I'd feel safer with something different. And I'm talking about a backup to a bow. For use as a primary weapon for hunting hogs, an M44 or M38 would probably be just fine. I think the 91/30 is just too long for it myself.

I don't have a Mosin carbine, so I'd probably choose my Winchester .44mag carbine or my Enfield .303 carbine, or even my M1 carbine. 15 rounds of .30 M1 carbine in my hands as backup, plus another 30 in the stock pouch, would make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

But, I'm not really a hunter to begin with, and I doubt I'd ever go after wild hogs with a bow anyway. Just my thoughts.

R5CYA beat me there - I would recommend a carbine (M38 or M44) if you are going to be using it in the brush. They cost around 130 but will be a lot handier than a long M91/30 when you need to drop that hog.

For what? To shoot yourself with when the wounded hog's ripping you apart? One of those sure won't stop a wounded, angry hog.

its not the fastest operating action in the world, but in my view its one of the simplest. and besides, even if you miss i'm sure to concussion of the muzzle blast would stun it. or use a M91/30 with the bayonet fixed. Twenty inches of cold Russian steel ain't anything to laugh at.

A nice backup for wild hog bow hunter would be an axe.
Big, big axe. Will surely fit the style and mental condition of the hunter...

Sori for moi Eglish, I rili ment zis:

Git u-selv pig hex, eat vil doo aolrite.

Well, the protection from hogs while bow hunting is only the story that is being told to the wife. However, is it actually legal in TX where he is located to use a rifle as a backup during bow season? I guess that is an important question. Even if it isn't, they are still a ton of fun to shoot anyways! Hard to beat the price too.

texnmidwest · 11-07-2009, 08:13 AM

Hogs are fun to hunt and great eating....but if I were bow hunting for hogs my back up would be a 12g w buckshot.

gandog56 · 11-07-2009, 09:12 AM

Mine would be either my 10mm or .357 mag pistol. Easier to carry.

texnmidwest · 11-07-2009, 07:55 PM

Too easy to miss. Pig charges you ain't gonna have time to aim!

In texas there is no regulation on wild boars. There is no closed bag limit, no closed season, and absolutely 0 restrictions and you dont even need a license to hunt them. You can shoot them with anything you want, and if you hold the license to do it you could blow em up with dynamite if you want....

Very interesting. Are they abundant enough they are a nuisance?

Last year they caused 6 billion something dollars in agricultural damage. A few months ago the state actually wanted to hire bow hunters to go into the densely populated areas and basically just slaughter hogs but they realized the damage a badly stuck pig could do in a densely populated area.... The state is overrun with them and a town not to far away has said they are under a pig crisis.

EDIT: There's a horse pasture right down the street from my house, and it has pigs on it... keep in mind we're right smack dab in the city.
