Ya Skeeter, gotta agree with you on that "let's see how small a caliber we can use on this or that" mentality, BUT you will never see me advocate that stance. Use a caliber to do the job ethically. Now who is gonna write anywhere that they shot this or that and never found it? No, they musta just plain ol' missed it. Now for boar, minimum should be 6.5, end of story. But I gotta admit, boars come in all sizes and on top of that, we're probably talking ferals here, of which I don't have any experience hunting.
I even saw a video somewhere on the net where a 'guy', won't use the term hunter, shot about a 70lb boar with a pellet gun. He was close though, I don't remember if it was a fence op or not. Heck now you gave 'em another idea to try it with a slingshot!
Skeeter, give Adam Helmer, an HC member here, a PM, he might just be able to shed some light on boar in Pennsylvania he'd be willing to share with you, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
