South Texas Pig Hunting? I am going to Texas pig hunting at the end of the month. Just wondering what caliber of rifle to bring. The standard for me is a 30-06. I know pigs are tough, but I am not sure of that will be too much gun. I know...I know...there can never be too much gun right??? Just curious. I have a 22-250 that is accutate as all get out, <1" group at 100 yards. The next biggest is a 30-06. The only problem I think I will encounter with the 250 is bullett fragmentation. I want to walk and stalk the pigs, but will most likely be hunting from elevated blinds with an average shot os 70-90 yards (per outfitter's info) I am booked with Double C ranch (huntingwithjeff.com). Through a whitetails unlimited auction.

Why are wild boar, hunted in South Texas, called Jabalinas, Jabalina are the collared peccary, not a pig .? I need to know what to call a wild boar and the collared peccary by their correct Spanish names. Everyone who hunts in So Texas calls wild pigs Jabalinas, or javelinas, and the dictionary does not bear this out, If the Collared Peccary is called a javelina, or javalina, or jabalina)due to its tusks looking like short spears (javelin) what is the wild boar, or feral hog, called in SPANISH? The dictionary just says cerdo and chancho. And no, I don't want to shoot one, I am writing about life in South Texas! Check out Texas, wild boar hunting on the net. And, for those in the know, it's not as simple as just shooting it. The Feral hog, wild pig, wild boar, whatever, has a thick "shield" of toughened skin around its neck, and the large ones cannot get taken down with any peashooter! That's the reason they are hunted by sport and not game hunters, They are taken mostly for the trophy! The meat is lean and tasty, though. Plus the javalina has a musk gland that will render any meat from it inedible if it is shot there, or if not skinned correctly. So, in Spanish, what is the feral hog called?
