To try and conflate hunting with the legality of owning a particular kind of rifle is nonsense.

Plus a true wild boar (not feral pig) is big enough that a .223 class round is inadequate.

The Europeans have been hunting them with single shots for decades.

While I support owning AR 15’s, the hunting of wild pigs has nothing to do with it.

Arn't most wild boars in the US feral pigs?

[crbutler]

Yep.

In the southwest you might see peccaries aka. javelina.

Peccary/Javelina are not wild boar…

You need a hunting license for javelina.

To be fair he does refer to them as feral pigs in the video.

Isn’t 223 legal for deer hunting in Minnesota? I’ve also seen ARs chambered in 308 and other caliber’s. Many of the videos I’ve watched on pig hunts the AR platform is used. The larger capacity magazine seems like the ideal tool. Remember the antis are it seems equating hunting rifles all the time. Referencing single shot hunting in Europe doesn’t work for when your attempting to eradicate an entire herd.

.25 acp is legal for deer hunting in Minnesota, but I agree with your point.

ARs can be had in calibers that would take anything but maybe dangerous game and even that can be debated.
