For me? A short carbine rifle or short pump shotgun. I have the Marlin 336 .30-30 and Mossberg 500 20 gauge. I use 170 grain in the Marlin and 3/4 ounce slugs in the Mossberg... But to be very honest... I rarely see hogs out and about when gunning. I use dogs and twine/mule tape and no gun most of the time
