Howdy y'all, I'm going boar hunting up in the hills of eastern Tennessee in March and since I've never hunted hogs before, I'm hoping for some advice. I was thinking my Guide Gun (45-70) with some warmish 405-gr. hardcast handloads would be just the ticket, but a friend recommends a 12-ga. w/slugs as a better choice.
I'm guessing I'll take both the Guide Gun and my 870, and decide when I get there...in the meantime, what do y'all recommend & why?
BTW, the people that run the hunting lodge say average shots are around 50 yds., so reaching way out there won't be required.
Any (good) advice is welcomed!
Thanks & shoot straight...
