I would think 40# is iffy on hogs but other game at 30 yds or less should be fine, i personaly shoot a hoyt tenacity and is set for 70# draw weight and i use mechanical broadheads but the deer around here arent all that large either 160lbs is on the large end of the scale i thing the heaviest deer ive ever shot is around 120lbs. for hogs i wouldnt use a mechanical though. What is the cost for a non resident to hunt in texas? im wanting to go somewhere out of state next year and hunt.
