If you placed the shot right, then yes, it could. However, if I had to pick a round for that purpose, the .38 Special would not be it. If you're hunting wild hogs, or just trying to put down a domesticated one, you really need a rifle.

Can a 38 shoot a 38 special?

Depends which type of .38 you're referring to. When most people say ".38", they're referring to the .38 Special. Firearms chambered in .38 Special can fire .38 Special cartridges, and nothing else. The .38 Special can also be fired from a .357 Magnum revolver (but only from revolvers - not from anything with a headspaced chamber). The .38 Special is not compatible with the .38 S&W Long, .38 Super, or any other type of .38 caliber cartridge.

Could you kill a wild hog with a 223 caliber rifle?

It is possible to kill a wild hog with a .223 caliber rifle, but it may not be the most effective choice due to the size and toughness of the hog. It's recommended to use a larger caliber rifle for hunting hogs to ensure a clean and ethical kill.
