Feral hog is seriously tasty...
Didn’t read the article to see if she used dogs. We use dogs and knives, when they don’t cross a river and get away or drown. Getting a shot at a stationary hog in the daytime at least in S Ga can be pretty tough. Except the ones that get fat off of rural gardens (see Hogzilla). I have seen people walk right up to a hog in a garden and shoot it dead with a handgun round in the ear. With a .380 no less.
Used a .30-30 with 180gr soft points in a Winchester 94 across a game trail that ran parallel to a dry wash.
Seemed to work ok...
