I so want to come down and do some hog hunting in Texas.
It depends on how you do it. I help an older friend out in South Texas - whenever the population gets high enough, I go up on his barn roof on his ranch and shoot the hogs as they enter cleared lands (they’ve attacked his livestock and his grandchildren in the past) with a long-barrel FAL as the things often come in packs. If I have to come off the barn to chase down a wounded hog, I’m carrying a Saiga 12 featuring a 20 round drum loaded with alternating slugs and buck. And reloads.
At *no* time do I feel overarmed, and once I have felt like I should have possibly brought more gun. I do NOT like coming down off that barn and going into the bush. Close quarters with hogs is not a good idea. That said, what I’m doing is vermin/dangerous animal control, not sport hunting. However, it’s close enough that I can laugh at idiots who say that you don’t need “military grade” hardware for hunting from first hand experience.
Just FYI: it usually takes a couple years for them to come back after a shooting session in this particular area. We don’t eat them either.
The way they're expanding their range, just wait a while and they'll probably come to you!
