Post a weight when you drop him...he looks pretty wide I think he's 300 may not bust it but he'll be all over it.


Here’s a pic of one of the two we got last Friday night. He was real thick but not much length to him and he only weighed 257. Laying in the woods and after we drug him 100 yds I swore he was 300+ haha.

Correct. The dont weigh as much as you think. We have shot bunch and it has to be a giant hog to hit 350.

Five or so yrs ago when I bought and built my thermal gun the first hog I shot with it was a 364lb boar. He’s the second biggest I’ve ever put my hands on and he was a stud for sure. He was long and thick. We weigh all decent hogs just to see cause they will definitely fool ya sometimes

We caught one in a trap a couple years ago I thought would go 250. We had to use a pulley and the winch on an atv to get him on the back of mine. Got him to the scales and he was “only” 200#

That rascal there will touch 300. I had a spotted boar built just like that one show up for a few days then disappear
I agree! That is a good one!

Hog weights will easily fool you. I killed one a few years ago that thankfully ran almost to the truck. I was able to pull it up on a berm and load it in the truck. When I got home I weighed it and it was exactly 210 lbs. A couple of years later I killed one that I couldn't drag. I had a backpack in the truck set up to skin in the woods if I needed it. It was all I could do to get this big boar off the ground to skin it and cut it up to pack it out. I guessed 300 lbs. It may have only weighed 250 lbs. I don't know. There is a world of difference in a 200 lb hog and a 300 lb hog. Both of those I mentioned were great eating!

It is the same way with a bear. Most people guess that a 200 lb bear will weigh 400 lbs. There are not that many 400 lb bears or hogs!

Back when I dog hunted we caught a few real nice boar hogs that I would have called 250 all day long that wouldn’t go but 200. I’ve had my hands on around 8 to 10 that were over 300 but all under 320.
 
Had this one on trail pics before I finally caught up with him. Little Towaliga River Feb. 21. I’m 6’1” 240lbs. He made me look small. Way over 300. My biggest by far.
