I wanted to reply some more once I got back in front of the PC.

I have great results with .223. .30 calibers exit on pigs and thats a problem for me... even though I ensure that the area behind the pigs are clear, I kill them in very close proximity to livestock.

If they are a large group or havent been hunted, they may come back in a little while after things settle down. I have seen them come back 30 minutes later. But, in most cases, the hunt is over for the night after the first kill.
They recognize death, and the death of a buddy as danger to them. So, the ones that witness the death most likely wont return. I like to call it pig math: 1-2=me.
