I have several suggestions.
On zeroing, zero where you like, but unless you have heard differently from your guide, chances are you are going to be much closer to your hogs than 200 yards. I would zero at a more reasonable distance, such as 100 yards.
Again, opinions will vary, but don't waste your time and money for a butcher if all you are killing are mature boars. Generally speaking, better eating will be from sows and ideally immature females 80-120 lbs. As noted above, take your time with your shots and pick out the better eating hogs if your goal is meat. It can take a lot of prep and time to make a stinky old boar taste good, FYI, and they usually smell terrible when cooking as well.
Most of all, have fun!

Kill a hog. Save the planet.
