[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1169413, member: 7123"] We've been over this but let's do it again: No, buckshot is NOT legal shot because it's not BB or smaller. The BEST way to hunt hogs on such public lands outside of deer gun season is probably with a .22 magnum to the base of the ear (brain shot) - something like a 50 gr federal. Second best way is with a bow. Or first best if you like bow hunting best. Third best (arguably) is to carry a smoothbore shotgun and ONE sighted in slug, and a few BB shots. The game warden couldn't care less what you hunt a hog with *provided* that you're actually hunting HOGS, and not poaching deer. Shot hog with slug. Go home with bacon. Game warden approaches, throw slug in wooods; "See here, I'm hunting hogs/rabbits with this BB shot" ; "Carry on soldier". My opinion anyway. Oh, and it HAS TO ACTUALLY BE some small game season or SOME game season - squirrel, rabbit, etc., so check the regs. To my way of thinking, it would be (a) unethical, and more importantly (b) severely moronic, to try to hunt hogs with a shotgun BB or smaller as allowed. You just ain't gonna recover them unless it's a football at close range. CCW Revolver in .45 Colt or bigger for backup. [/QUOTE]
