parkerd,
Yes, a 223 in the right spot will put a large hog down quickly. How far will be determined by your marksmanship. The target (brain) will be like a small semi-flattened orange.
With all this rain in your area hogs will be on the move. They move mostly at night so night hunt will be most productive. In Florida you can hunt with rifle and light at night on provate property without any special permit requirements.
I suggest you find a spot with lots of hog tracks and then bait them with corn mash. Put some corn mash in a paint can with some holes on top and hang it up about 5 feet off the ground. You want to get the smell to travel out... sorta like chumming when out fishing.
Find a spot 25-50 yards away above the ground and wait. When you see/hear the hogs get ready to shoot and then light them up.
