For what its worth here in fla feral hogs are considerd livestock and belong to whomevers property they are on at the time. As long as you don't intentionally torture them they are yours to kill however you see fit. On private property there is no size or bag limit. This of course allows the state to make the rules in regards to how they are hunted or (not) on state lands. On my property the big ones will be live trapped and fed a proper diet till slaughter time . The smaller ones will have to suffer the wrath of the two bitches . Their biggest so far has been maybe 100 pounds. Neither one was able to lock on but they had the sow spinning and running like a tazmanian devil and they never once backed off in fear. In my experience feral hog hunting in fla without dogs is a sit and wait affair or stumble across a roving band while looking. In either case I would never feel underguned with a 308. But then again ours are not Razorbacks or Russian boars or the like. Ours are simply domesticated pigs that got loose and survived and repoduced in the wild. Very different critters indeed. The guy in the middle photo would go approx 90-100 pounds, you think? He already has a good set of cutters & tusk in the making. I have seen him a few times and he is scarred up real good on both sides. He is obviously been tangling with something. Believe it or not within a week of being in a pen one would be able to hand feed even the "meanest" feral hog. Of course stay on your side of the pen. Guys that live trap them are known to pop them in the ear with a 22 mag once they are used to them feeding them. Bottom photo is a set of tusk from a 175-200 pounder if I recall correctly.
