Never been hunting before, I've been wanting to try hog hunting for a long time and have some friends that are also interested and like to go with me. Now that I live in a place where it's very accessible and I have the money to do it I'd love to go on my first hunt within the next 2 or 3 months. So I have some questions for those more experienced than me, sorry if they've been asked many times before.
1. Where are some good places in South LA for hog hunting? Are the WMAs good ground?
2. I have a good AR-15 with a 1-3x scope that'd I'd like to use, but is .223/5.56 powerful enough for hogs or should I invest in a .308?
3. About what's the average distance most hogs are killed around here?
4. Do you prefer semi-autos or bolt actions?
5. What kind of camo works best around here?
6. Any good books or websites you'd recommend for new hog hunters that cover general advice, tactics, etc?
