[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1259435, member: 30902"] I know what you mean but the sad fact is, the closer they are, the easier it is to ensure a kill shot. I try to avoid it but I've killed probably a couple of dozen of them with this method over the years. When quail hunting here where many years it seems we have as many or more hogs than , especially running German Shorthairs like we do we end up right in the middle of them a lot more often than most of us would like. Mind you, I don't do it by choice, it was a method borne of necessity. Even an ounce of 8's fired from a 28g at less than a foot is devastating no matter how big the hog is. Given a choice I'll reach for the .41 mag, or 40 S&W for close work but often there simply isn't time. The military developed some cube shaped tungsten pellets for breaching barriers and shooting through vehicle windshields and doors that were about a 1/4" cube that are absolutely devastating. They have 12 cutting edges plus all of the points on the corners. Not sure if they are available on the civilian market but if so they would be pure hell on hogs at short range. [/QUOTE]
