.22, .223, 9mm for when they get in too close, trip mines out to 100 meters, pungee pits around my position in case they get that close, and cyanide pills in case they take me.

We normally use .22’ for most of our rat killing but I’m thinking of using the .223 for some long distance killing this year. I thought about this last year but I didn’t have a brass catcher or a convenient way to attach a commercial unit to my rig and the only thing that suck balls worst than brass prep is picking brass out of the weeds. Thanks for the reminder I need to get off my lazy ass and get out to the shop and get making my new super sweet brass catcher  |

Usually an accurized 10/22 for shots out to 100 yards or so. Ruger .22 auto pistols with red dots for walking around potting them offhand. 17 HMR for shots out to 150 to 200 yards works well. Anything past that I like either my .17 Remington or a .223, but just as soon take a rifle in .204 Ruger.
I have to admit that a whistlepig taken at 50 yards with a handgun is much more gratifying than one taken at 250 yards with a .223 is. I like the challenge of hitting them with a pistol.

.223 at all ranges with increasing satisfaction with decreasing ranges points accrue by yardage. taken from POI to where the largest piece lands extra bonus if head separates from tail |

Oh i do believe a whistle pig shoot would be a blast. Anyone anyone? I thought about this last year but I didn’t have a brass catcher or a convenient way to attach a commercial unit to my rig and the only thing that suck balls worst than brass prep is picking brass out of the weeds. Or you just do what I do and set up a lawn chair in the bed of your truck and the bed catches most of the shells. |

Hey, that's a bolt gun. You don't need no stinkin brass catcher! There is something beautiful about the thought of shooting whistle pigs with projectiles that outweigh them by 2. Spectacular! |

Same thing. We've got several varieties around and they all seem to enjoy being shot. |

My favorite technique is using their own natural desire to eat one another... well that and a 10/22. shoot one and then another comes out to eat him and then shoot him and if you have patenice and are close enough wait till there are 3-4 out snacking on each other and hit them all with the shotgun, it makes for a fun day. |

In light of recent weather planning would be all that could be done.  Nothing to do at the moment but wait around for all this white crap to go away and the desert to dry out enough that you don't sink to your eyebrows in muck the minute you get off a main road, or go kill coyotes. |

I love to shoot them with a .221 fireball or .220 swift. The swift really makes them dissapear.
Get ready guys, around my stomping grounds the earliest I have seen them out is Jan. 18th.

Now you're talking! I have shot them with my Swift before and thought that I had missed because it was blown into such small pieces. I soon realized that I had WAY too much gun for those tiny squirrels. Sure fun to watch them explode. But nowadays I too love shooting them with the little .221 Furball. I love it so much that is where I got my screen name from. Next June it will be going with me on my annual prairie dog shoot. That is, if I don't wear it out shooting whistlepigs first! |

I sure hope not too many people are shooting them this early. I try to refrain from going any earlier than April to make sure that the some of the babies have been born so we can have some future shooting stock. |

The .223 is alway fun for squeeks, but I still love my ol' 22 year old Marlin, iron sights, tube fed .22 with 40 gr solids. You can shoot all day with breaking the bank, light to carry, if you really get into them it doesnt tear up my shoulder. I think its more fun to gauge dropping in the long shots too. It doesnt vaporize them, but you leave the carcass for their buddys to gnaw on. I would like to try the Barnes varmint grenades though, if you havent seen them check out the videos. Just like they swallowed an M-80. I've popped plenty of close ones with with wadcutter .40's, and it damn near turns em inside out. Its fun to get them that way, but I find it ruins the backstrap and makes it almost impossible to salvage any of the rib meat.
I do have a couple of requests though. I know its already been said and I'm probably preaching to the choir, but here they are.
As mentioned before, please dont shoot too early, let them have their babies, and switch hills so you dont wipe out a colony. Also, two of my favorite spots are now posted and blocked off limits to vehicles because too many A-holes went in in the mud and tore up the trails and the hillsides. If your cutting deep tracks in a trail back out and wait till it dries a little so we can all use the road later.
Sorry to bitch and moan. See ya in the hills.

This is good advice. We want to make sure there are enough targets around for future practice. |

I was at the range on Monday, and the little critters were all over the place. Took a couple of pot shots at them from 500m, but he was moving before the bullet got there.
That whole time of flight thing at that range kinda sucks.

I'll never forget the first time a co-worker invited me out whistlepig hunting. Not being from the area, I figured they were like prairie dogs and that we'd be shooting from long range. Because of this, I brought my CZ-527 in .223 with a 6-24x50 Sightron mounted on it. It was embarassing (to say the least) when the one I had a shot at showed up at about 15 yards and I missed  I did get my revenge a few months later when some showed up mid-afternoon out around Blacks Creek, though.  |

This little guy made the mistake of popping up about 6 yards from us while we were trying out some 00 buck through the Mossberg 500. Took his head clean off, never knew what hit him.

I gotta get my scope mounted on the 223 AI and use the sighter rounds to break it in . The good news is that I have a couple 100 rounds of .223 loaded up with 50 grain V-Max's so I can kill whistle-pigs while fire forming brass !

I gotta get my scope mounted on the 223 AI and use the sighter rounds to break it in . The good news is that I have a couple 100 rounds of .223 loaded up with 50 grain V-Max's so I can kill whistle-pigs while fire forming brass !
I'd like to be there for that! |

My favorite spot is north of Parma. Take highway 95 north from Parma then east on Pearl Road. Pass the turn off for the Parma Range and keep going. The road turns to dirt and there are multiple side roads and trails through the desert. Just pick one and have fun. The main road (Pearl) actually continues through the desert and comes out by exit 17 on I84. I'm headed out there Tuesday afternoon if anybody wants to come along.

Thats where I used to shoot them until everyone else figured out it was a good spot as well . If your gonna go out that way mid-week offers less crowding and theres tons of dirt roads peeling off in every direction across the desert . |

South of Boise out Pleasant Valley Rd towards the tank range. Be prepared to see lots of folks both shooting and riding dirt bikes. |

Yeah, it's getting a lot busier out there, dammit. More people leaving their crap behind, too. |

Me, too. Unfortunately, we seem to be in the minority. |

Sooo....went out piggin again this afternoon and came home with a story that I gotta share. I was using my Ruger 77/22 to good effect and was retrieving my kills and piling them up near my truck to keep a tally of the damage. Now the ground squirrel's propensity towards cannibalism is legendary but I had no idea how far they would go until today. On one trip out to retrieve a kill I found the little fellow partially eviscerated. It appeared he had crawled a foot or two after being shot and had strung his innards out over several inches. I picked him up by the tail and started walking back to the truck when I discovered that he had not expired. He was gathering up his guts with his fore paws and munching on them. I dropped him in disgust and finished him with my pistol while he attempted to consume his own viscera. Ick!
