Have any of y’all ever hunted hogs with 12 gauge buckshot? I’ve never hunted with buckshot but I have a bunch of it sitting around. I did some target practice this past weekend on an old bucket lid from 15 yards with my mossberg with a 18.5” barrel. Out of two shots I got 12 pellets to hit. I had to aim low to get all 9 on there. Cylinder choke FYI
The closest blind I have is 20 yards away
I shot a boar that same trip with my .30-06 to the neck. Skinning it, I could see just how tough that shoulder is. Skin was 1/2” thick!!
Anyway, in your opinion is 12 gauge 2 3/4” or 3” OO buck effective with said gun at said distance?
(That’s the hog I shot, found on the camera from 5 days prior)
