Unfortunately they missed hunting width here in Pa. Oh well I like looking at them. :o
-
Pointy... 8)...nice work, dp

Can you shoot hogs with them? Down here the regulations don't apply to non-game animals... BTW, I like them. They look authentic :)

Nice points

Nice points where you at in PA.
-
Nice pointy little flakes of rock.
I bet they penetrate better than normal points cause they smaller.

Thanks guys! I don't know if they would be heavy enough to shoot at a hog. Those guys have some pretty thick armor. They might slip through there though :). I have seen some articles on bird point penetration and I think they would. These just missed the 7/8 requirement here. I know there are a few wild hogs in Pa but I don't know where. I would love to hunt them. They are tasty :). Hey Trapper Rob I live in Washington Pa.

I have read those articles and seen videos by Billy and Twisted Limbs and they have convinced me... I am gonna give it a try this season...
Yep... Hogs are tasty and fun to hunt but I am not sure the fun outweighs the damage they do down here... And boy can they multiple! Did you know that for every 6 piglets a sow has... that 8 survive to maturity? ::)

I like your hog math :). I used to hunt them a lot down south and they literally have a shield made of fat protecting their vitals from a broadside shot. I think the smaller points would do just fine on a deer but I don't know how they would work on that shield.

I heard that they were in that direction. Are there a lot of them out there? I bet the PGC is scrambling to get that Pandora's box closed again.

I guess there is only one way to find out >:D. But I hear what you're saying... The big boars are hard to kill... But not probably as bad as his great, great, great granddaddy below :o
But if given a choice... I would rather take the shot on a nice young shoat... Tasty, tender and easier to carry out!

Great looking points.
