I hunted hogs for three years in the thickets along the Red River in southern Oklahoma. Two years out of the three, the hog came after me. The first year I used a 30-30 and was way undergunned. The last couple years I used a 30-06 which was enough if I hit the hog in a vital spot. My crawl through the brush handgun is a .357 mag but you need to hit them in the head with that when they are head down and charging at you. You would not want to get pushed to the ground by a 400lb hog.
All in all it was great sport and I felt like a redneck Robert Ruark or Karamojo Bell.
