223 hog hunting

Yes. If you don't miss.

Somewhere along the line a lot of people have decided that since hogs aren't "real" game animals, and there are enough of them that we find them annoying, that they don't deserve the same respect and clean deaths that sportsmen strive to afford other animals. None of their justifications for this position have impressed me thus far.

Edit: Here's the Texas Dept. of Wildlife's position -

Night hunting with a spotlight is often used; however, the local game warden must be notified beforehand. (There are certain laws which prohibit using artificial light where deer are known to range.) Hunting with well-trained dogs is another hunting method utilized and can be very exciting. Because the feral hog has such a tough hide the best rifle calibers to use should be a .243 or greater to prevent wounding and loss of the animal. Bowhunting, muzzleloading, and handguns are also popular among sportsmen to hunt feral hogs.
