If you see a hog during Turkey Season?

B. Let him walk because you don't have a "ethical" load?

An ethical load for a hog is whatever you have.

At my former employer, I used everything including brush guard on the truck (I disabled him and then backed over him just for spite) and bare hands (piglets only).
 
On the public land I worked on in MS, you had to use the weapon legal for the season open and nontoxic shot. The handful of die-hard hog hunters we had would use hevi-shot waterfowl loads, when small game or waterfowl seasons were the only thing open, very effectively.
 
You have probably never seen a hog problem like we had. On 22,000 acres we killed over 200 in one 9 month period. They destroyed roads, fields, crops, and farm equipment.
 
If you shoot a hog in the face with a turkey load, immediately shoot it again. You're likely to knock it down with the first shot, but it is just as likely to jump back up and run again. I have seen so many pigs get back up after all kinds of head and neck shots.

So would the right way to do it be to fire the first shot at the hog's head then stand up and scream, "Say hello to my little friend" while holding the shotgun at your side and unloading the next two shots into the hog. :)

I think a turkey load would do a number on a hog within 35 yards.

For sure. It has been proven true ;)

Only 2 more shots?

Take the plug out and get at least one more round.
 
They get a pass until turkey season ends from me. But once it ends, it's back to catchin 'em.
