Those would be fecalating experiences. The last guy didn't get a shot off. I wonder if he forgot to take his safety off, or just didn't want to hit his dogs as collateral damage.

Agreed. Not even sure my AK would have been a better choice. My old Enfield or especially a 12ga loaded with slugs maybe.
I worded my original response incorrectly. What I should have said is the AR platform with multiple follow up shots would have been the better choice. Working a bolt or a pump gun would not be as efficient in response to liberals saying the AR platform is not used for hunting.

I understand what you are saying but I prefer the knock down power of a larger rifle or a good shotgun slug. I think it was #4 that seemed to be using a semi-auto if I remember correctly and it did seem to help, but I think it was a larger caliber. I am not sure the 223 round would have been a good choice on the larger hogs. I also noticed some made no attempt to prepare for a 2nd shot. Bad practice if hunting dangerous game. I have shot a couple of hogs years ago with my 303 and the first thing you do after the shot is watch your target while chambering another round.

EDIT: Just watched again and I had forgotten that #2 got off a 2nd shot too and it may have been some kind of AR. #5 only got off 1 shot and I am not sure the other 2 got off any.
