While I cointinue to read stories of pig problems through the south USA, most of the hunting is on private land and there is a charge to hunt.

While I think it would be fun to hunt pigs during the daylight hours witha handgun or double rifle, the more successful hunting is at night using thermal optics. Many hunters use AR10s and AR15s.

The large hogs (over 250#) are just pure domestic pigs that have escaped.
