One of my coworkers went to TN two different times hog hunting. First time he used a bow ( and was successful ) . The guide was "glued to his side" with a firearm just in case. Steve admitted he was scared with just a bow.
Next time he used a firearm. The hog weighed about 300 lbs that he got. He came out of some brush, he aimed and BOOM. the hog went right down. The guide asked him "WTF are you using?". Steve just smiled and said "12 gauge slugs" as he held up his Benelli Super Nova. The guide smiled and said "That worked great" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good luck, have a safe hunt. |

I passed on a possibly 400 pounder here this year already. 3 inch 12ga double aught was probably not enough medicine at 15 yards. We were hunting deer.

Steve (coworker) said the fast, high powered bullets were passing right thru the hogs. Use the slug gun
Just in case you don't know, hogs are mean as hell and wouldn't think twice about tearing YOU up. ( I'd rather be "capt obvious" and tell you something you already know that find out you've been tore up by a hog ) |

A neighbor (3 miles away) has already killed 45 back here this year. I need to get setup because I am noticing some rooting on my property.

I thought that “hog hunting” meant going to the dive bars to pick up fat chicks.

Actually client cancelled at last minute. We went to the range and attempted to sight in new rifles. Mine is worse than ever! Also, cheap shotguns kick like mofos. As to AKMs. He needs to get a shoulder pad for that thing. It’s like a cave man gun. |

Another vote for 12 gauge slug rounds
Couple of years ago a friend from PA came down to GA for a hog hunt. He was using a Ruger .44 magnum. They were on foot. His guide was carrying a 12 ga with slugs in case he missed or didn’t get a head shot. |

My cousin put 3 full house 240 grain .44 mag flat points into the pig he killed last before it stopped running. We couldn't find any hollowpoints on short notice.

They are really stealthy. We know we have problems here at the homestead because of the damage they cause but we never see them.
