I saw this Video and thought it would help those that want to go on a hog hunt.

I need to invest in a thermal scope.
I plan to one of these days but it's quite an investment and I really hate putting a lot of money into anything that is electronic.
Still like watching those. Sure could tell Franz wasn't doing the shooting.
J E ,I was with you when it comes to using a 3.5 inch 12 with 00 buck for close quarters. However, after watching these videos its looks like they soak up two or three shots before dying. Maybe we should learn from Franz. I have put an EO Tech on my 3.5 instead of a red dot. Big upgrade. Love it. Now how about slugs?
No kidding. In a couple of those the biggest worry was the guys doing the shooting! gun)Still like watching those. Sure could tell Franz wasn't doing the shooting.
This may sound crazy but if you just stand your ground and don't panic it really doesn't matter what you are shooting. Remain calm and just step to the side when they get to the end of your barrel, put it behind the ear and pull the trigger.I have since switched to triple ought (000) and now I am wondering my self.
The times I have been charged by a wounded hog, the 3&1/2 00 worked but these were hogs that averaged 250 to 300 pounds and the bigger hogs were shot with the 7 STW and I didn't have to track them. I am thinking of my 338 RCM with 225 grain Bullets (Haven't tried it on hogs).
I just purchased a night scope and trying to decide what rifle I'm going to place it on because night shots are/may not be as well placed. As far as going after them at night when they don't hit the ground, I am rethinking that also.

Even bird shot does the job in those situations. As some of those videos show though a lot of guys panic when the hogs get close and do really stupid things like throwing down their gun and running.
Newsflash for all, you cannot outrun a hog!
