Anyone Else Experienced In Shooting Feral Hogs?

Here in South Dakota, we have had a rise in population. Haven’t shot any yet but before it gets too cold, going out with my trusty .20 gauge too find some. They are fair game here.

20 ga? Good luck with that. You need a center-fire rifle. I use a .223 WSM for hogs but anything from .223 up will kill them. Shot placement is important. Hogs are wicked fast and will disappear in a flash. If you see a big sow with a lot of little ones, drop her and wait. The little ones will come back and you can clean them up with multiple kills per shot.

Don't underestimate these animals, they are vicious and will come after you.
