My dad has been charged twice by a bore. Once with me and once with my mom. He put 3 round of 00 buck shot into ones head and it Chased him to the car. He got on the roof and shot it a few more times w my moms 20guage.
The other one was with me squirrel hunting. Shot it 3 times in the head with squirrel shot while it was charging him. Last shot he had to move out of the way as it rolled by him. He was as white as a ghost. Took balls to stand his ground on that last shot.

It all depends on where you hit them. I've dropped hogs with one shot plenty of times. My cousin emptied an AR mag into one and didnt kill it.

They're strange and resilient beasts.

I've had a similar experience while squirrel hunting, except I shot 3 times and killed 3 hogs with #6s. It's all about hitting what you need to.

Edit. They weren't charging me. I slipped up on them and ambushed em.
