Default Some rookie questions

Hello all,

I'm up here in Wisconsin and am in the early stages of planning my first hog hunt (they are spreading like nuts up here) and wanted to run some ideas by you guys.

I have a handful of rifles I'm choosing from, what do you guys think?

Marlin 336 lever in 35 remington
Marlin 336 lever in 30/30
Garand in 30.06
m1903 in 30.06

I figure the garand may be the most appropriate (semi-auto).

Is it common to carry sidearms? I've been on and off this forum for a few years now, and it really seems like there is a risk that they things will come at you. I'm figuring a 9mm is too light. Suppose a 45acp would do the job?

Anything odd for hog I should know that's different than deer hunting otherwise?
