I'm planning on going hog hunting this Monday in Alabama. I've never hunted this particular plot of land, but I am told that there are tons of hogs all over the place.
Here's the issue. There is a mixture of wide-open field space, with thickets of trees and water scattered around in which the hogs bed down. I'm having a hard time deciding which rifle to take.
My SKS is accurate to about 75 yards, and gives you great semiauto second shot capability. I have a Mossberg 100 ATR in 30-06 that obviously has more range, but looking through a scope plus bolt action means slower fire rate. I'm comfortable with both guns.
What would you take?
