re: Are hogs dangerous to someone walking around?

I'm not a good pistol shot and we're going to clean up a trail in the woods tomorrow - would a .12 ga. with buckshot stop a hog or do you need a rifle?

A rifle or shotgun with buckshot would be plenty effective.

But I thought I remember you buying a S&W686. If you load that with some heavy 357 rounds (like 158gr) it could also be pretty effective against them.

Then again, a shotgun or rifle will be easier to shoot, just not as compact as your revolver.
