Knives work well to. Taken many with a knife. If you need a good hog sticker, Rev could hook you up with a very nice, hand made job.

RE: hunting loads; new hunter
i'm probably not as experienced as some of the guys on here, but i have had good luck with neck shots, either just in front of the shoulder or behind the ear. hogs are built a lot different from deer. the spine runs pretty much through the middle of the neck, and the vitals are low and farther forward. with a rifle i aim for the neck, bang flop, no tracking involved. with a bow i aim just above the "elbow". good luck, i think you will be impressed with how good eating they are.
