re: Tales of giant hogs don't carry weight

How do you know how much that particular hog weighed? You shot him right after the camera took that picture? If not, you will not convince me he is much over 200 lbs.
I killed him 2 days after that picture. He came in every day/night for 3 weeks. It's not hard to figure out that it was the same pig.

Ok, how much did he weigh?

Dude, if you can't admit that the arched sapling is on the left side of the picture in the first pic and on the left-center side of the second, then this conversation is over. Can't argue with delusional.
Damn, it's rotated so that the corn pile would still be centered after I had to move it. The camera is mounted on a bracket. I didn't take the bracket off the tree and remount it. It's the same height.

If you choose not to believe me that's fine. This whole shite started because I was basically called a liar for saying that I have seen a sow that weighed 300lbs.

And why would I do this? I don't know you and don't give two shits about impressing you. I've killed enough pigs to not have to pretend I know anything. My lease is completely over run with them to the point that the deer hunting is suffering and we don't have any turkey to speak of anymore. We shoot them year round, trap, and let doggers come in when it's not deer season.

And then post a picture, of a boar, that still isn't 300lbs.

Weighed both on a scale that went to 420 and checked it with barbell weights. The scale is right.
Pigs that big are killed often enough to where I hear about it a few times a year. There was a boar killed that bottomed out the same scale two years ago.
I've posted a picture of mine on here before. Can't find it now.

The Hogzilla documentary was on tv the other night, dna testing on the carcass they dug up showed it was a feral/farm hog hybrid. Also was 8 feet long instead of the 12 ft the shooter was claiming. Bet that mofo stunk to high heaven when they unearthed it.

Where do you guide
I guided outside Abbeville, GA for a few years. Not really so much a profession as a way to help a friend of mine who owned the property make a few bucks on the weekends and when I had some free time. It was fun and I got to hunt with some tv guys along the way.

I know in some places hogs are smaller and have more feral than Russian.
Where I hunt at they seem to be mostly Russian (long hair and black), and we kill tons over 200lbs. Some get over 300 lbs if it is an older boar and these have been verified with scales inspected by the state (used for seafood). The largest we have killed was a 424lb sow. I think this was an abnormal sow because most of the sows we kill are around 100-200lbs.
When it takes 3 people to drag a hog and it's weighed I know it's correct.

The only one I ever shot that I thought was close to 300 I wasn't able to weigh it because I couldn't move it. And I'm a big dude. And I got help to come try it with me and we couldn't do it working together. So yeah, I'm pretty sure this thing was 300 lbs. He was bigger than I am. But looking back on it, I think he may have been a barr and not a boar. He had a twin brother that was every bit as big as him that I called the ninja pig. Hunted him hard and he always figured me out before I could get him. We shot at him once at night but he'd gone invisible in his wallow and my buddy missed. This is him.
You tell me how big he is.

I had to tie a rope around mine and drag it out with the fourwheeler. Me and my buddy couldn't pick it up. We had four people when he killed the 320# sow and managed to get it on the back of a bike.
That one charged us safari style in the dark. It was scary as hell. Buckshot does nothing to a pig that big.

Yea I'm not judging river bottom delta pigs based on a Texas study

I can't remember the exact weight of this bad boy, but was close to 300. Waiting to here back from my buddy for exact weight, but here he is, killed in Poplarville, MS

Your buddy shot someones 4-H project. Thats a hampshire pig. 
Posted on 1/17/14 at 8:27 am to chickman1313
Domestic market hogs can get to 250-275 in 6 months. I imagine if they have a good, protein-rich food source, a feral hog reaching 300lbs is not that unlikely, no matter the sex.
