So I've got my bow (Bowtech Assassin) and all the standard accessories (peep sight, 4-pin sight, stabilizer, rest, etc.), is there anything else I need to have a good hog hunting rig?

i certainly feel a hawglite and luminocks are needed.
In addition when i go, i have a sidearm (i always do...CHL) and some other gear
I have a small camelbak and i throw in some calls and an extra light, and some binos i also recommend having a headband light for use while walking to your spot and for hands free skinning later

No peep or at least a large diameter peep
Sight with ability to light pins. I prefer the ones where the light is enclosed and shines on the fibers to prevent glare
Hawglite Marauder (and flashlight attachment and white led for tracking later - same light for shooting and tracking)
extra AAA batteries for the Marauder just in case
thermocell
something cold to drink

Hawg Lite Marauder
Lighted nocks
Sight light - something that just barely lights them up. too bright and you won't be able to see past the pins
large diameter peep - my sister, Pistol, got some glow in the dark paint from a fishing supply store and outlined the peep. it works great! I still have to close my non-dominant eye at night.
Practice at night to make sure you can see your target and you will gain confidence when you are at full draw.

Everyone has their opinions...lol
As I do... Big expandable heads like a 2in cut hammerhead and a home brew hoglight like the one in the DIY. Maybe a shotgun and buckshot for trailing big boars by yourself.
If you gonna shoot in the dark you need a pin light also. Get one with a reostate so you can adjust it depending on how dark it is.. Very important.
