Very nice. Where did you take it?

A few years ago I picked up a book on hog hunting in CA, and it had a chapter or so devoted to hunting hogs with 20 ga slug guns.
A friend hunts hogs regularly, and even the big boars seem to make pretty good sausage. The smaller ones make great steaks and chops.

Is there a season or limits on them, or are they like vermints?

Wow - very cool.
Is 7x57mm enough gun for most hogs?
How long are most of the shots?
I would love to hunt them.
Thanks
OWD

Is there a season or limits on them, or are they like vermints? In CA, I think they are open all year but you have to have a pig tag to shoot one. Last time I looked, the pig tags came in books of seven (or something like that). I think they are the most widely hunted big game animals in this state, and can actually be found on public lands, especially on the central coast.

Is 7x57mm enough gun for most hogs? The guys I know generally use a .270, sometimes a .300 Win Mag if they are after the big ones. I'm planning a trip this year and will probably carry a .243 for smaller meat pigs. For our conditions, I would think a light .308 would be about ideal.

No season in Texas. Their Varmint! I've shot them with everything from 22 Hi Power to 12G Slugs. 7x 57 will do the trick with shoot placement OWD. Sometimes the big ones take some killing, they are tough.
