Well, my favorite gun for hogs just happens to be the one I'm carrying. Killed 15 in the past 12 months, using everything from a .22 LR to a 7mm Rem Mag. Killed most of them with my Mod 70 FW in .22-250, and a few with my .25-06. One thing I've learned over and over--shoot them between the eye and ear hole and it is Bang!! Flop!! (and maybe a few kicks). Hogs are not hard to kill--but you do have to shoot them in the right places. Since everything on our ranch has thorns and stickers (or a rattle on the end of its tail), I prefer to drop them in the road where I don't have to go looking for them.
