We had a warming spell here in Central Texas (67 degrees today!), so I grabbed my .45 carbine and walked around, checking places where I'd seen a lot of sign of feral hogs. Sure enough, in 3 different spots, I caught groups of them 'em laying up. I knocked down two in each of the first two places, and got lucky and got 3 of them at the last place. Unfortunately, I probably didn't even put a dent in the total population. I was using hand loads of 200 grain Speer Gold Dots and +P loadings of Unique.
