How long of a shot should I be prepared to make rifle hunting for hogs?
Most all shots are under 100 yards. I have several stand locations that offer shots up to 300 yards. Keep in mind most of the activity is late evening in low light. This is the reason most bait sites are only 50 yards from the stand. In low light you need to be close to see the target. When you stalk hunt you are hunting cover, there again your shots are close, averaging 50 yards. If your rifle is zeroed at 100 yards, shoot some at 50 yards so you will know where it is hitting because that will be the most likely shot you’re presented with.
