I guided for 5 years in the Blue MT forest (Corbin PK) Croydon, N.H.
I used 30-06/ 180GR always had a SW357 as back up. I have taken 20+ of them mostly 200 lbs +- but up to 350 lbs.
I saw guys shoot them with a RUGER45 with no problem.
There is a wild herd outside the PK that got out when the fences fell a few years back. No Lic required to hunt them in NH
If you want to read up on the park here is a good read.
This place is bigger than PLymouth MA fenced in & easy to get lost and mostly untouched sence 1900

Looking to do a trip in the near future. Was told to check out PA. How viable is the NH option?

So when are the best times of year to hunt? Buddy was thinking of heading down to Carolinas or somewhere like that. He said it would cost a lot more to hunt in PA. 6-700 for one hog?

I was checking some places out the prices ranged from about 500-2000. Most places charge you extra if you shoot a trophy. I will look into this some more...
There was a place in Florida that charges like 250, but it mat be a little shady.

Wild Hill game Preserve in Fairly Vt. Great hunt, have been there several times. You can use whatever weapon you choose, I shot the first one w/ a 270. The following year I used a 44 revolver. The last time I used a Ruger 357. An absolute blast, very rustic. They shut the generator after dinner and everything runs on 12 volt. I've only been there in Nov., Mon, Tue, and Wed. before Thanksgiving. Haven't been an a few years, it used to be $650 for the hog, 2 nights lodging and 3 meals a day. Butchering was $77, you need to bring your own cooler for the meat. Good luck!!
This one was 263#

Maybe you should check out the state of Florida Fish & Game. That state is over run with wild boar and I'm sure you would have no problem finding an area to hunt free. You may also get yourself a trophy snake.
