Thanks alot guys...I really appreciate all the info. My weapon selection in somewhat limited...my .270,a .303 British,.50 cal ML,or 12 guage.Since I don' t know how many boars are in the area,just that they are there,I won' t be buying another rifle just yet.I will probably bring the shotgun w/slugs as a backup or swamp gun(the Black cedar swamps are THICK...20 yards is a long shot).The .303 is without a scope right now,and the ML needs to be sighted in again.I still feel the best with the .270 and a shot to the base of the skull/neck area.

The weather forecast is not promising however,temps are going to start dropping tommorrow with more snow coming as well.I will let you guys know what happens though......and thanks again!!

P.S.....rumor has it these boars are in the 300-400 lb range.The guy I talked to said one he saw filled the bed of a pickup truck from corner to corner.
