A few thoughts.
1) Learn how to shoot. If the crosshairs were correct, he broke his first shot at the piggies kneecap, but he flinched so hard it looked to hit about 2 feet below Mr. Piggy. Out of all his shots, it looked like he hit the pig 3 to 4 times, even after it was lying on the ground dying in front of him. With all his spraying and praying, I'm glad I wasn't anywhere near him.
2) Use enough gun. A 300BO with varmint bullets and a 380? seriously? Have a little more respect for the animals your hunting, even if they're feral.
3) There's nothing wrong with a bolt gun. There's no reason Mr Piggy shouldn't have dropped in his tracks with one shot. See #1 and #2.
4) Anyone who goes into the field thinking they need a 20-30 round magazine, doesn't belong there.
I'm in total agreement with Rip. That was a demonstration on what NOT to do when hunting hogs. Even though they are "feral" they should receive the respect, to dispatch them cleanly and ethically.
Have enough gun and bullet to kill them quickly. Learn how to shoot your damn gun, BEFORE going hunting. If you cannot do that, keep your ass home and on the couch. I hunted hogs back in the Florida Everglades in the mid 1970's, and we killed hundreds. We supplied them to Monroe Station for their annual "Wild Hog BBQ". Not once, did I EVER see the display of inability, that was shown in the video. We used not only guns, but on occasion we would use trained dogs to go into the "head" and corner the hog. We would then get close and dirty and dispatch the hog using a bowie knife, and a stab to the heart. It was a quick and clean kill. We NEVER had pigs suffer like the scum in the video.
Bolt guns, with enough fire power and the correct bullet, and someone that actually knows how to shoot it, and where to hit the pig, will do just fine. Not like the Fuster Cluck in that video! The person shooting in that video is NOT a HUNTER!
