Once a shell is shot, there is a rapid decay of its energy, velocity, and also accuracy beyond 75yards. The minimum energy threshold for a big game is ft-lbs, and thus yards is the maximum distance. Newer designs like sabot jacketed bullets have ft-lbs energy at yards, making it possible to kill a hog at that distance. The bottom line is this; you will need to keep the maximum distance at 75yards for the best results for a regular shell.
You can go further with new high-velocity sabot rounds. You will be pleased to know that shotguns are legal when hunting in most of the states in the US. You may, however, need to note that in some seasons, guns are not allowed. Check with your local authority to know the specific laws regarding shotguns and the seasons you are permitted to use guns to hunt. You can also refer to this breakdown. It is said to be tailor-made for wild hog hunting.
You can also easily customize it by adding a scope, red dot sight , pistol grip stick, and a nicer recoil pad without using tools. Opt for the gauge one for the best results. Shotguns are considered to be a highly recommended choice for small hunting ranches. This weapon type is quite versatile but may not offer you good range.
So choose wisely. Shotguns work the best within the yards. You can target a deer from a short distance with shotgun and make your hunting experience successful. Getting the best gun for deer hunting can be another big hurdle for the newbie hunters. The first parameter should be your comfort.
Get yourself a right shotgun which seem to be a more comfortable and convenient option to have. And if you have used a shotgun before, you can consider 12 — gauge or larger shotguns to enrich your experience of deer hunting.
The caliber and type of shotgun that you plan to use are very important, especially when hunting wild hogs. The recommended caliber of shotgun for hogs is the popular gauge.
This caliber is powerful enough to punch through the thick skin and heavy muscles of mature hogs. You can rest assured that you will get plenty of penetration and knockdown power with this caliber compared to other popular options such as the gauge. Another good option is the gauge, which is larger than a gauge. However, the problem with a gauge shotgun is that you will be much more limited when it comes to ammunition selection. Selecting the right ammo is critical, and the gauge is much less popular, which leads to fewer choices.
It will also have a lot more recoil and weight when compared to a gauge, without a ton more power to compensate for it. Having the correct type of a shotgun is essential as well. Because wild hogs are so tough, they often require more than one shot to take down. The ability to have a quick follow-up shot is essential, and not all types of shotguns allow for this.
Avoid single shot and double barrel shotguns, as you will not have as fast of shots. This could be very important, especially in situations where the hogs get aggressive and potentially charge. Semi-auto or pump-action shotguns will be your best bet, as they allow for much quicker follow-up shots in the event of a wounded wild hog.

But the only thing I own that can kill a hog is my 12 gauge pump. Last edited: Dec 1, Either will do. I've killed them with 2 birdshot and 22lr. I've also cleaned them with 1 buckshot embedded and the wounds healed over. Just know your firearms capability.
Upon cleaning him I found the first bullet did not even penetrate the shield, just knocked the wind out of him. Jester Senior Member Dec 1,
