boar hunting Question? Will 30-30 work?
A friend and I are considering a guided boar hunting trip in the Southeast (NC, SC, TN). I have a 30-30. My friend has a 270.
Will my 30-30 be okay for Southeastern sized boar? I also have a 12 gauge pump (for slugs) if that is a better choice.
Either will get the job done. The 12 ga. will have more kick, though. Just remember that if the boar is facing you, he has a pretty thick shield of cartalage over his shoulders that protects his body from attack from a position in front of him. A shot to that area may not penetrate well enough to kill him quickly and you may need a place to retreat to QUICKLY so as not to be injured by a highly irritated pig. If you are not going to mount the head, a head shot is best. Otherwise, try for a heart lung shot from the side.
