12g boomstick for Pigs

What ammo and choke would be good for hogs? And can you run an extended mag tube without a plug when hunting hogs, or coyotes?

I have a rem 1187 special purpose with a 26in barrel.

Never used a shotgun, but here is some info.

From the reg:
1. Hogs may be taken year-round on private land during daylight hours or at night with permission from the private property owner, lessee or occupant of the land.

The pursuit of feral hogs with a shotgun on private property is not restricted by shot size. There is no restriction on method of take of feral hogs on private property.

• Resident & Nonresident License Requirements: No hunting license required. All persons pursuing hogs during any big game gun or muzzleloader seasons with a shotgun and rifled slug, or any rifle or handgun larger than .22 caliber rimfire, must possess either a filled or unfilled license appropriate for that particular big game gun or muzzleloader season, unless otherwise exempt.

2. Hogs may be taken on Department-managed lands during any established hunting season with methods authorized by the Department for that hunting season, except that during any open deer and/or turkey season, only appropriate methods, hunting hours and legal equipment for that deer and/or turkey season are authorized for taking or pursuing feral hogs. No feral hogs may be removed alive from a WMA.

Pursuit of hogs at night is prohibited from Oct. 1 – Jan. 15 and during any spring turkey season.

Pursuit of hogs at night during any other time of the year has the following restrictions:

• Use of a firearm is prohibited
• Use of any artificial light or light enhancement device (night scope) is prohibited.

In addition, persons pursuing hogs must comply with all other WMA regulations.

Resident & Nonresident License Requirements: All persons pursuing hogs with a firearm or archery equipment must possess a hunting license, unless otherwise exempt. In addition, persons pursuing hogs on WMAs open during youth deer gun, bear muzzleloader (in open counties), deer muzzleloader, deer gun, Holiday Antlerless Deer Gun (in open zones), elk gun (in open counties) and antelope gun (in open areas) seasons with a shotgun and rifled slug, or any rifle or handgun larger than .22 caliber rimfire, must possess either a filled or unfilled license appropriate for the current season, unless otherwise exempt.

The only reason you need plugs on shotguns is for migratory birds.
Your 25 round drum mag on your saiga is perfectly legal for pigs.
