Hog hunting, My first time.

[madmarinehays]

So I am lucky enough to go hog hunting on a very large, private property with a couple of friends. I am very proficient with fire arms but, I have never been hog hunting before. I am thinking of running my ar15 or my ak47. I am leaning to the 7.62x39 but am not sure. Should I use any special ammo for this or will FMJ steal cores do? Also I am thinking for bring a 1911 .45acp with me just as a backup side arm weapon. Thoughts, ideas, suggestion?

Depends. When are you going? If there is a current hunting season running, then you are required to use whatever firearms are legal for use during that season. If not, then nearly anything goes but I would use expanding bullets. Not sure but I believe fmj are not legal to hunt with.

Where did you get that info on certain firearms being used on pigs because of in season game ?

I believe this is always true.....

I would take the 7.62x39 weapon..... IMHO

Look at the Hog Hunting Postings ... real life stuff...

I believe that the professionals in South Georgia use AR15's with 75 GR ... and kill the heck out of them.
Insomuch that they make a living doing this, have $4k NV Optics on them, I have to give them some credit for knowing what they are doing

Ok, evidently I was citing something that I had been led to believe but is apparently wrong. I just checked the regs and see nothing about "incidental" game. My apologies. I plan to look into this further just to make sure but it may be WMA rules.

I just checked and see no restriction of weapons on private property. It is on National Forest land that there are weapon restrictions.

Expanding bullets are required.

Glock 20 10 mm is a best gun to hunt hogs

This is actually true, but only on WMA
