Hogs are found in a very wide geographic area. From North Carolina to New Mexico, well into California and nearly all of the Midwest have pigs that can be hunted. With so many different locations, there is no one gun for every situation. What may work for hunting the pigs deep in the swamps of Florida is probably not the same gun that will work in the foothills of California. The following is a few ideas for guns when hunting hogs.
Marlin Model 444
Since 1985, hunters who were hunting their game in think swamps and brush have been using the Marlin Model 444. Considered to be a beefier version of the Marlin Model 336, this fine weapon has been known to take out a hog that was up to 250 yards away. The cartridge of the bullet had the power to stop the hogs right where they stand.

There are many hunters who believe that this weapon has too small of a cartridge, especially when hunting a larger pic. However, there are still quite a few hunters who choose their tactical rifle as their weapon of choice when hunting hogs. Simply add a solid optic on top and tough ammunition, and then a pig can be taken out at 300 yards away.
Jeff Hill is a huge fan of hunting. Not only does he enjoy it as a sport, but Hill enjoys it because of the quality time that he gets to spend with his father when hunting. To him, hunting is just another way to get to know his father better.
