Is this gun-ammo combo enough to bag a wild hog?

I'm always concerned when I'm around "new shooters" on a hunting trip. Usually wild hogs are not considered dangerous...but any animal can inflict injury. That and for humanitarian reasons you want a quick, clean kill. So if your friend is a new hunter but an experienced shooter that's one thing. If he/she is new at everything, take them shooting at a target range and let them become familiar with guns in general and the shotgun you've selected for them to use in particular. And if you're going to be shooting at running targets, that's a whole different story. Shooting ranges are not the place to learn to shoot running targets (at least none of the ranges I've been to). This takes some planning.
