I don't want any gun for hogs. I would only carry a gun when hog hunting if I was worried about two legged problems because some of them carry guns. For me when I carry a gun hunting (I am a bow hunter) I carry a 44 mag. It is loud! I tell people if you here me shoot come running. If you here multiple shots use caution and call 911. A level head is much better than a gun. Just my two cents so do not think that I am saying you are wrong. I pick the 44 because it has range, accuracy, knock down power, and it is loud. It is big so I am not hiding it if a Game Warden comes up.

Funny story. I had my 44 with me during bow season because I was in an area that had seen a few very large cougars. The Game Warden saw me walking back to my truck with my bow and that gun on my side. He pulled up and asked how I was doing and if I had seen anything. I told him I had not seen a single pig. He gets a funny look and said, you were pig hunting? I said yes sir. He asks, so if a giant buck was standing in front of you you would not shoot it? I said well maybe as long as there not a pig around because I like pork but not venison. I could tell he was not buying my story. So then he says, there ain't a pig around here for miles. So I just said, well that would explain why I have not seen one. He kind of laughed then we talked and I said the gun was only for cougars because the ranch wanted them gone. I never admitted I was hunting deer! But if you shot a gun the Game Warden would have been on you like white on rice.
