[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1833432, member: 26077"] If you are shooting over bait, or at driven hogs, the number of times you will be charged by a wounded pig are ZERO. Tracking wounded animals in the bush, different story, but a pig hit on a bait pile is completely focused on getting out of there. Unless you just happen to be on his escape route, he isn't coming after you. I will second that Buckshot is a bad idea. Under 40 feet it has about the same coverage as a slug, it isn't any easier to hit your target with and even the biggest buckshot is lousy at penetration and stopping power compared to a slug. Buckshot is actually illegal in may European countries for hunting Boar just because it wounds so many animals. You have the gun already. Assuming it has the right chokes,, you could mount a red dot sight and shoot slugs out of it to try it out.. You will know pretty quick if it is the right answer for the type of hunting you do. If you like it you can order the short, specialised barrel set. [/QUOTE]
