Title: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: Shotgun wg on January 03, 2013, 09:50:28 pm Title says it all. Just curious what constitutes a big boar. The majority of the hunting I do is summer time. Here hogs are bigger during winter due to the added corn and bran being fed. Cutters are cutters and an inch is an inch I'm interested in pounds.
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: dub on January 03, 2013, 09:54:33 pm 200-250 or more lbs is big to me. Over 350 lbs I will take a picture.
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: Lance on January 03, 2013, 10:40:50 pm Over 200 pounds.
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: YELLOWBLACKMASK on January 03, 2013, 10:41:33 pm A true 300 lb hog is a war horse. Not the 145 lb that is typically pictured 40 yards in front of the hunter and his dog. Hehe :o
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: brad s on January 03, 2013, 10:42:31 pm Around my house i consider a big boar to be around 250 bc i dont catch many that big. But catch quite few around 200. A 200lb boar is a good solid hog around here
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: hillcountry on January 03, 2013, 10:56:49 pm 250 and up but if he dont have the tops to go with the bottoms hes just a hog in my country, (http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o644/hillcountrydogs/80C03FDC-37C6-489D-B543-D60593A063D6-28339-00002F33A4D537DE_zpse18bcf17.jpg)
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: Big Joe on January 03, 2013, 11:16:43 pm Me personally , I like a hog that puts up a good fight and doesnt make a sound when the bulldogs are caught no matter its weight, but 200 + is a good hog
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: M Bennet on January 03, 2013, 11:32:04 pm a trophy is different to every one that takes a hog. iv seen 160 lb boar with 3" teeth, to me that was a trophy
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: txsteve85 on January 03, 2013, 11:35:07 pm 250+ with cutters for days!!
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: KevinN on January 03, 2013, 11:35:52 pm 250 is a big hog....3" of teeth is a scary hog, lol
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: BA-IV on January 03, 2013, 11:39:59 pm A big boar is just a big Barr when I meet him!
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: Shotgun wg on January 03, 2013, 11:49:28 pm Around where I hunt we don't get big cutters like some I see on here. 2.5" is usually some good cutters. On average a decent boar is 200. I have got 3 in July and august that went over 275. To me those were good hogs. I wanted to see how the hogs I hunt compared in size to those in other areas.
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: No Commitment Kennels on January 03, 2013, 11:50:28 pm I'm just curious if you Barr a boar hog say over 200 lbs will the meat still have a chance to be good?
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: BA-IV on January 04, 2013, 12:00:41 am I'm just curious if you Barr a boar hog say over 200 lbs will the meat still have a chance to be good? Yeah you just have to give him some time. Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: No Commitment Kennels on January 04, 2013, 12:03:46 am Cool, because I don't Barr myself and have only caught one Barr ever. Never tried it
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: levibarcus on January 04, 2013, 12:21:43 am 200 is a good hog, 250 is really big, and 300 and up is "holy crap this is gonna get western!" I've only ever caught one over 300.
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: justincorbell on January 04, 2013, 07:02:17 am A true 300 lb hog is a war horse. Not the 145 lb that is typically pictured 40 yards in front of the hunter and his dog. Hehe :o Preach brother PREACH! A true 300lb boar is a STUD. I consider anything over 200 to be a good boar personally. (and i mean a real 200lb, not internet 200lb.......there is a big difference) ;D Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: Reuben on January 04, 2013, 07:16:45 am 200 and up is a big boar...back in the 1990's I worked with this engineer that graduated at the top of his class and he loved to hunt every chance he could...he swore up and down that there were no 200 pound hogs because all he ever saw or shot were less than 150 and he said the average big hog probably weighed 125 pounds...he sure didn't believe me when I told him we caught a 200 pound boar about once a week back then...
but a real big boar is between 300 and 350... Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: tusky1970 on January 04, 2013, 11:43:43 am 200# is a nice hog but I'm after the big one my best ever was 478#
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: BA-IV on January 04, 2013, 11:45:31 am 200# is a nice hog but I'm after the big one my best ever was 478# I'd like to see the hog that weighed 478. Do you have a picture of this hog, was he a Barr or boar? Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: tusky1970 on January 04, 2013, 11:55:53 am I got pics some where its been a couple yrs back I'll find them and show you he's a big sob but easy to catch he didn't even fight much
Title: Re: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: setxhogdogs on January 04, 2013, 11:58:05 am This one my bud caught ...around 300#
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/01/05/e2eru2as.jpg) This one we caught went 250# (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/01/05/5e4u3u4u.jpg) Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: kerreydw on January 04, 2013, 04:18:08 pm 200-250 the biggest ive ever seen that i actually weighed was 344 he had no cutters just a fat hog and he had his two boys he wasnt cut
Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: Shotgun wg on January 04, 2013, 04:21:25 pm 200-250 the biggest ive ever seen that i actually weighed was 344 he had no cutters just a fat hog and he had his two boys he wasnt cut That sounds like this one. Never weighed him but he's a fat boy for sure. This is a regular 16' utility trailer he's on. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/01/05/za5equba.jpg) Only liked 2 boards reaching across.

Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: Hamilton_hogger on January 04, 2013, 06:48:58 pm 250 is a sure nuff good boar...300 with cutters to match is a trophy. no teeth
Just another nuicance in my book. Worst meanest hog I Ever caught was only about 175-200. He even put a whoopin on my "loose" dogs. Guess he had a grudge cause he was chasing all the dogs. Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: Bo Pugh on January 04, 2013, 06:59:40 pm i do not like getting after little hogs. i like them to be 300 and up. biggest i have had my hands on was 392 and he was a barr

Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: riverbottomhoghunter on January 04, 2013, 07:09:42 pm around 200 250 +
Title: Re: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: Hogsnatchers on January 04, 2013, 07:17:10 pm 200+ lbs is a good boar should be in anyone's book. Rather catch closer to 300lbs than the 180-220lb range with some tooth. Usually no matter the weight if you go in and don't hear the squeal you better get ready cause he's not going down easy.

X's 2, one of the rankest i can remember with exception to last weeks fiasco was a hog me and a buddy caughg in nome a cpl years back. We were on horseback and only had 2 dogs with us, both of which were old/smart enough to know when and when not to catch. We ended up bayin him in a thick ass palmetto/briar patch. We messed with this hog for the better part of 1/2 an hr before he screwed up and let me get a hand on him. That little devil charged me and my partner both multiple times, he had opportunities to leave the country but never did, it was almost like he wanted to stay there and fight. He finally zigged when he shoulda zagged and that was that. I bet he didn't weigh 125lbs just was one mean little joker.

I think we caught 8 inside there that all weighed over 300 plus a sow that weighed 326 and had 3 inch teeth. I would say a big boar hog is anything over 200

Title: Re: What is a big boar to y'all Post by: hillbilly on January 05, 2013, 08:38:14 pm Anything over 200 is a good hog. Anything over 300 is in another class of their own.
