Can I treat it the same as venison ? Clean it, cool it, then proces it ?

Just don't use ballistic tips unless you're head shooting.

jl, a .243 w/ Sierra 100gr "Game kings" will take hogs all day long!

O.K. O.K. Got it. .357 will not do it. Not gonna stop me from trying though. I will however carry a heavier gun with me.

enough gun? Thats a wise tale. I cant count the number of hogs ive taken with my 357 pistol. Its all in shot placement. Ive taken them with my 38 snub nose as well as a 22 mag. Ive even seen a hog taken with a pelet gun. It was on the outdoor channel. I wouldnt suggest it, but it did drop it on the spot. If a 357 is all you got, it will work. If you have a 270, go with it.

I would recommand Federal 180gr Cast Core and stay within 50-75yds.

Rebel Hog is right on the money.

I have used the Federal 180 grain load in a 4" barrelled revolver with excellent results. Its all about shot placement.

That pump-gun sounds like a lot of fun for Hogs. Go get em'.

Good Hunting,

I think anything that you can get a clean kill with - but i wouldn't use a .22 [:@]
