I am going hog hunting with my brother two weeks from now and would like to get some opinions on how effective shotgun slugs and buckshot are on hogs.
Here's the setup:
I will be carrying a .308 with Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claw. We will both be in separate tree stands 50-100 yards away from a feeder. My brother is considering using my 12 gauge shotgun loaded with slugs or buckshot. The shotgun has a smooth bore cylinder with rifle sights.
1) Would rifled slugs be effective for a 1 shot stop?
2) Would heavy buckshot ('0'/'00/'000') be effective for a 1 shot stop?
3) Considering that the 3" slugs and buckshot have a hellish recoil with a several second recovery time for the shooter, would it be better to use 2.75" shells for fast follow up shots, or would it be better to attempt a 1 shot drop with a 3" shell?
