Good work.
I have a stand very close to a feeder on my property where pistol or shotgun are perfect.
I also use #1 buckshot not double 00.
12 ga.... 3" magnum load.... is packing 24 buckshot.
Aimed at the center of the neck puts them down right there.
Spartans ask not...how many, but where!

Good job! Hunting pigs from a tree stand with a shotgun is fun. It is how I like to hunt them. It can get pretty exciting when a big sounder comes in all at once, you have to be quick to get a few.

Its usually and one and done deal where I am because the bait site is just 20 yds away from thick cover. But depending on how they run at the first shot (usually all directions) I might get off a second shot. Then once in awhile....a group of piglets or shoats will 'bunch up' and that presents a shot at multiples.

Don’t have the pictures anymore but I have smoked a lot of hogs with dixie triball buckshot. I shoot a rem 870 with a 24” on police special w/a .680 restriction choke. Shoots a 2” pattern @ 50 yards and gets meat on both ends
Don't know where I'm goin but I'm makin good time

Was duck hunting out at Whitney a couple years ago and heard hogs squealing and raising heck behind me. Sneaked back into the woods a bit and sat down on a high spot. Two hogs walked by me and I shot both with #2 steel aiming at their necks. First one was walking and the second was running. Both were under 20 yards. That steel shot penetrated pretty good I thought. They changed the rules to where you can't do that anymore?
