Have you found the 6.8 to be an effective hog stopper?

yes the 6.8 has been very effective. However to be fair I neck shoot most of my hogs. My wife does as well. The big dark hog my wife shot that has blood on his side was lung shot he ran about 90 yards left an awesome blood trail got an exit wound. the big spotted boar I shot last night was lung shot he ran about 60 yards no exit awesome blood trail.
The beast my wife shot would have weghed near 450. for the record I have a sow penned up that weighes 460{domestic hog} WE were unable to retrieve him for weighing or cleaning up for good pics. The both of us could only move him 6 feet. I have weighed many hogs over the years and can guess them within 20 pounds usually. every once in a while 1 fools me.

Nice bacon!
I have a .458 SOCOM that needs something like that around here.
At least we have Pdogs to tide us over 
I see a lot of hunting hogs done at night. I assume that's when they are out feeding?
How about day hunts? Or are they holed up in the thick at that point?

Kinda depends. I've seen them out early morning and late evenings (i have pics on my trail cam at 2pm in the afternoon), but for sure night time is the most active for them..

never heard of 300aac blkout. to be honest I never heard of the 6.8 either until I saw one in Georgia last May at the hog and predator expo.
Sorry guys I don't guide. I do on occasion take friends and I take sponsors. The guys in the last photo's are from EOTech.

We hunt mostly in the evenings last 2-4 hours of light and get them up out of their beds. We do a little night hunting as well. I love thermal. the really big hog my wife shot was killed about an hour before dark I got it on video. It got dark before we could hike back in with the camera.

Check it out, i think it would make a great hog round out to 250-300yds......especially if you wanted to run suppressed/subsonic.

Hog #2 would go near 450
Hog#4 would go near 250
Hog#6 would go near 260
The big boar my buddy killed would break 350 but would not break 400.
