[QUOTE="Buck1970, post: 2246448, member: 111353"] Lots of great information has been given. We don’t care what you kill them with, just shoot all you see. I just want to make a couple of suggestions. 1) Bring plenty of shells, especially if using hand loads only. Im not sure about the rest of the world, but we are still low on ammo. You won’t find any in Walmart or academy. The few gun stores that are staying stocked are very proud of what they have. I did see shells on the shelf in academy last week but it was mainly steel case fmj 556 and 7.62 only. They also usually are limited to two boxes. I hope we get back to normal before fall hunting seasons open. 2) It’s been stated several times. Hogs are tough, and they are mean. They don’t see as well as other animals, but have good sense of smell and hearing. Wounded, they have a fight mentality. There is no flight mindset to them. You won’t hardly walk up on a wounded deer of coyote that will charge you, but a wounded hog, Large or small will do so in an instant. Just remember that when in a thicket. Keeping a good sidearm strapped to your hip isn’t a bad idea if you have to do any tracking. Good luck and have fun. Shoot at least 2 for me. [/QUOTE]
