I agree with ipscshooter. What ever you deer hunt with would be great. I have taken hogs with everything from a .270 and a 30-30 to a 12 ga. and 22 mag. I will have to say that I have taken more hogs with my .22 mag than I have with any other weapon in my collection.

But if your looking for a good starting hog gun, you really can't go wrong with the trusty ol' 30-30
