things wrong with story:
1 707 lb boar
2 A 700 lb Russian boar (who knows he is king of the woods)charged him but then turned at the last min. Once charge is initiated you better kill or get out of the way
3 Two guys on skinny and one old drug a 700 lb hog
4 He made a single shot and hit the heart behind the shoulder plate and killed the hog in 20 yards. heart is not behind the plate but underneath it. and barring a 12 gauge slug I have never seen a vitals hit hog over 60 lbs fall within 20 yards. These animals seemingly fail to know when they are dead.

Reminds me of 1100lb gators they catch on swamp people

Always heard you can weigh the head an X 10 and it will tell you a close weight
i shot one last summer and posted a pic on here. he was too long to weigh on my skinning rack so i cut off the head and weighed it separately. the body weighed +/-270# and the head was between 30-35#. therefore total weight was right about 300#. based on this ONE example head X 10 is a ball park number only if not a bit high.

The 1100 lb gators that the shoot with a .22 and that two guys easily lift into the boat, without any effect on their balance and without tipping the boat.

while we are discussing big hogs......a buddy of mine killed a big hog. he showed me a picture and said it was over 600 lbs. I said BS. it is a huge MF but not over 600 lbs. he said he weighed it on a 300lb scale and it bottomed it out. so one of the guys with him said to put two 300 lb scales on him. so they pulled the other scale over to it and hooked it on and lifted the hog, both scales bottomed out.
I said I don't think scales are additive. what say the OB?

These stories are always bullshite. The 12 year old that killed a 10' long boar that weighed 1200 lbs in Abbeyville Ga was pretty much the same deal. It was on Discovery Channel 5-6 years ago. We have a pile of pigs here in South Ga. I've shot some that reached 350-375 & I know they can get bigger, but a hog doesn't get that big (700 & up) in the wild. There isn't enough food to get that big.

that could also make it 650, 700, 710, 15,000...

Had a truck driver flip a tractor/trailer over when it ran over one of your damn S GA hogs a few years ago. Those damn things are like hitting a barrel. They just roll right under you.

Thats a big boy but no way its 707 pounds. I shot a monster about 6 years ago that was 325 and this one is definitely bigger. I'd say 400-450.

It's the amount of moving around it would have to do to get that much food.
Just think about how people get to be that big. They can't move. If they had to travel to get food, they wouldn't be that fat.

When I was in Texas the other week, I no shite saw a pig whose back was as tall as the doe it walked by. I first looked at the doe through the scope and then started looking in the other direction because it was 1000+ yards away. Turn back around and I can clearly see the hog without using the scope. Looked through the scope, and it walked behind the doe and I could see the very top of his shoulders.
Looking back, I should've at least tried taking a shot. I came home and looked at a ballistics calculator, and I would've probably shot 30ft too low
This was at a place where they kill 1 400+ pounder a year, and have a pic of a 728lb pig the owner shot in the kitchen. It was hanging on a scale in the picture
Eta: This was right by Trinity River NWR in Texas. All pasture and swamp

The young man on the left is either kneeling waaay behind the feral hog or sitting on a log or mound. I don't understand why he's doing that.
I believe he's far away from the hog.
Either way, until these hillbillies west of charlotte know how to use a GoPro, I am not buying it.
See below.
I rough talk'd him......he had beautiful harrr.

That's why it's fake.

That's kind of what I was inferring when I said there isn't there isn't enough food. Not unless some a-hole shoots a 1K lbs of corn out of his grain bin every other week & dumps it in 1 spot in the woods that happens to be 30 feet from where hogs call their home will a hog get to 800 lbs.
As far as our big pig population a guy I know's insurance company had to replace his daughters because it totaled the car in a wreck. Once you get out of the area of the state that produces row crops & into hilly areas like Fort Benning they don't get near as big. I've listened to stories told by my bullshite redneck hog hunting acquaintances that can tell what the hogs do in certain areas. Down here where they get big they fight the dogs. If you go to Ft. Benning area they run for miles and it sucks. You have to put trackers on the dogs.

In my experience you will never see a deer and a hog near each other. I filmed an immature buck tailing 3 does this past season & everything was howdy doody. They did this for 10 minutes & then all of a sudden the does just started going apeshit. I was filming the buck with my phone in 1 hand & putting the crosshairs of my rifle on a hog 250 yards away. I guess in Texas if the food isnt as abundant & they rely on feeders then the 2 don't give a shite.

nope does are more jumpy around hogs than they are around bucks during peak rut.
No way in hell a hog sauntered by a doe that stood there not giving a shite. Unless doe was deaf dumb and blind

Nope, doe walked out first, stood right by a box stand just chilling, and the hog walked out behind her slowly. Maybe it was further behind her because I couldn't tell since it was so far away, but it happened. This place is pretty stacked with both deer and hogs
