[QUOTE="longrifle, post: 334987, member: 18979"] I'm a big fan of large, bowling ball type heavy bullets and short, fast handling guns in brush situations. Bunches of years in the Florida swamps and palmettos with big pigs. A scoped Contender/Encore pistol in 45-70 with a 1.25x4 power would be the first choice. You're probably not gonna get a second shot. Picks up those openings in the brush well. And if you DO happen to hit a close (to the target!) limb you'll probably be ok. If I had to go long gun a Marlin Lever Action in a big caliber like that would do well, same reasons. But I've taken a lot of big porkers with a good long barrelled 44Mag. Pick a spot...a LITTLE spot...squeeze.... [/QUOTE]
