Up until the past year or so I didn't take many pictures of caught hogs, just a few of the biggest. But now that I have gotten into the internet hog hunting
I take a lot more. The PROOF has to be shown to be believed. I know very few people on here and very few know me. It’s a shame a man's word can't be taken for that, but thats the way it is. There are a lot of dishonest and ignorant people who post pics of hogs and throw a weight out there. I hear 300 lbs get thrown around a lot by the unknowing, way more than it ever should. In my opinion a 300lbs hog is a definite trophy, and few and far between. What has brought us to this point are the pics of 175lb hogs that are claimed to be at least 300. Don't throw weights around till they hit the scales! The last real big hog we caught I went by the local store, and there were a couple guys that came out and looked at the hog. They had come to the conclusion that it has to weigh between 450 and 500lbs. All I could do was laugh and they thought I was crazy
. Several months back I bought a new set of scales of my own just for the "Proof" in the future. I'm sorry all the pics I posted didn't have scales included. There are some large hogs in this thread that dwarf some of those that claim to be. A great place to look back for a comparison.
