When I lived in Floriduh I went from a 30-06 to a 30-30 and then went to 12ga. with #4 buck and my pistols.Too damned hot to carry a heavy gun and drag a hog.
Airboat solved a lot of problems.Dog grabs the hog,you stab the hog or put a bullet in the head,pull the boat up and flip him into the boat.We did dogs walking and sticking them with a spear too.Last hog I killed in Okeechobee was a loong way from the truck and was 175#.Last one I dragged!I dont miss moccasins or the pygmy rattlers a bit.We ate the Diamondbacks.
I was going to try the hog hunting in Okeechobee this year, but was overcome by events. If medical situation improves, loved one, not me, this year could be a go. I sure hope so! 308 is my plan.

Those moccasins sure are aggressive aren't they! I have not personally run into pygmy rattlers since I left Texas.
