Yeah def 308 will work. As far as when to find them, its gonna be right before sunset to right after sunrise. We usually either spot light them or bait them (dont know what your state allows). Sour corn works well, also i have heard good things about a product called hogwild. Hope that helps.

For what it is worth the only two hogs I have ever shot was with a .357 magnum handgun with hot reloads. One shot to the head from my tree stand did the trick both times. Both shots were a matter of feet so the pig got the full effect. This actually was incidental to deer hunting and eliminated the possibility of killing a buck that day. A .308 should be adequate but Shane's idea of a .35 Rem is about as good of a choice as I can think of especially coming from a Marlin 336. I always thought this cartridge was generally under rated.
