New Mexico Hogs

Actually, they aren't a pig at all. To me, they look more like a large hamster, but from what I understand they're their own species. Closest relative is said to be a hippo.

They aren't true pigs, but are in the sam suborder as pigs, Suina. Their relationship to hippos isn't that close. Hippos are actually more closely related to whales than to javelina. http://www.ultimateungulate.com/cetartiodactyla.html

You are right, however, they are not mutants at all.
 
I got my first boar this fall using a Savage in .308.

I used Corelok ammo. and the boar didn't get very far after I pulled the trigger. He was just under 200lbs.

Hope this helps.
 
Since you dont have anything between the 22-250 and the 375, go with the 375. For you, it would give you better peace of mind. No such thing as overkill as long as you have a little meat left.
