Many Hogs Killed
I've never been on what you mght call a hog hunt, but I kill several hogs every year. I hunt on private land and as a favor to the owner kill every hog I see. He say's they kill baby deer and eat turkey eggs. Whatever I'm hunting deer with is what I use on the hogs. I hunt in S/W Arkansas and the hogs are so numerous they sometimes spook the deer. They seem to be easy to kill and and I used to use a 270 for everything. I've gotten older and have settled on one caliber for everything, the 6.5X55. I kick myself for buying all those other calibers over the years. When I see a deer hunter with a magnum I know right away he has little experience hunting in the real world. Those new calibers serve only one purpose and that is to get your money.
