Where I live and hunt hogs are fairly common. I've gotten in some serious "fire fights" with a sounder of hogs while deer hunting. I carry a lot more ammo when hunting than I used to 15+ years ago.
Now when I go out specifically after hogs I usually carry an AR15.

Some of you not familiar with hogs might wonder how you can shoot that much after the first shot because you think they'ed all run away. And you be mostly right, but in open fields you can maybe get several shots off and sometime hogs get confused and run in all direction and run right back into your line of sight offering another shot opportunity.

The amount of times you may need to fire your rifle and the quantity of ammo you carry can depend on a number of variables depending on the situation.

Heck I sometimes suffer from Buck Fever and have been known to throw an air ball from time to time. This buck was killed with the second shot at about 240 yards facing me. He stood still after the first shot and I calmed down and got him with the second.
