1olhunter Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I was wondering if anyone uses shotguns for hunting pigs in thick cover. I have been successful in sneaking up within 20 yards of pigs on our lease in very thick cover. On several occasions the cover was so thick that a rifle shot was very difficult or impossible. I am planning on trying my Mossberg 835 using BB lead shot with a full or turkey full chock. I chose BB shot because the Oklahoma game laws state that is the biggest shot size permitted for hunting, regardless of game. Interested in knowing if anyone else has taken pigs with shotguns?

coles Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Re: Shotgunning Pigs? i was goin to post earlier but i had to get to class. i wouldnt recommend shootin a pig with BB. most people use BB on geese and sometimes that isnt enough for geese. im with gitcha and use either buckshot or slug. man that BB shot would sure make that hog sqeal though!!!
