Even the traps lose effectiveness with time. Ones that get out or like the mama pig can become trap smart I think. But it helps.
I will use whatever is in my hands but a good medium bore in a lever gun or what ever platform you like I think is made to order for hogs. The 9x57 is a class act, 35 Rem. is perfection too although I would want the carbine model if purpose made for pigs and maybe a peep or holo sight or go all out and get a thermal sight if tradition be damned.
