Ammo selection for a "woods" gun

[mkm]

Glad to know my 9 mm will do the job if it has to.

Shooting a feral hog with a 9MM I would not use the "double tap" method, (two shots and evaluate).
I would use the "triple click" method, (keep pulling the damn trigger till it's gone click at least 3 times ) 

Spoken like a non-Glock person.  Glocks only click once when empty.

Amen brother Tom, amen!
FQ13 who might have slightly bent, or even maybe broken Texas law on carrying a gun during bow seaso,n and is REALLY glad he did. All those holes officer? Its kind of like the Kennedy assassination. This here is the "magic arrow".

You don't know how we do it down in the South. For as many hogs as I shoot I kill just as many by severing the spine with RAT-6 or other knife. Just let the dogs lock on him and jump on his back. It's a much bigger rush than shooting one.

You're young.
You'll get old (maybe ) and have the aches to regret stuff like that.

You can club one to death with a rock as well, Basfu. Me, I like to think we have evolution for a reason. I'll take a gun (or a bow if I have to) when dealing with things that can hurt me, thanks all the same.

Not in my state buddy! I like it the way it is. If you want to introduce them, do it in New Hampshire.

I probably hear more about this type of hunting than shooting them.  I have yet to do either, but I lean towards shooting.  With that said, I won't say I won't ever hog hunt with a knife.  It does seem like a much greater adrenaline rush.

I've already got the aches to regret it, but not from the hogs. I'm a pretty old and beat up 40, almost 41 and figure I've only got a couple more years of that kind of stuff in me. I just hope i can hold out a couple more years until my son is old enough to learn the right way. I really have never had an issue, I learned to do it when I was around 12 and never had a hog related injury other than some brush scrapes. I've also done a bit of gator trapping too so the hogs seem pretty mild most of the time.
