Leave the buckshot for something thin skinned thats easier to kill like a burglar. I have tried it and taken two small hogs with buckshot and lost a number of others. I do not recommend buckshot for hogs, period. Now if you can place the slug behind the hogs ear, or quartering away, behind the shoulder, then it can kill a very large hog. BUT, if you take a behind the shoulder shot with a slug, you may not get an exit on a very large hog, not sure, but don't expect a lot of blood to follow through the woods. If you can wait and take the neck shot behind the ear, you shouldn't have much trouble dropping even large hogs. If you are not a crack chot with that slug gun, then I would recommend that you use something that you can shoot very accurately. A wounded hog can become an abgry hog very quickly and when they are engry they can become very aggressive, and when that happens, you could be in trouble.
