JP! That scale was made in china that hog was probably 441 pounds!   Joking, but do y'all see what I'm talking about? So far 4 pages of the best hogs we got pics of and were just now to the first one that is honestly suspected to go over 5. I'm still not sure if everybody understands my point or just thinks I'm being a douche, but hopefully y'all get me. |

I'm still not sure if everybody understands my point or just thinks I'm being a douche, but hopefully y'all get me. T-Bob...I get what you are saying and you are 100% right...day in and day out the big hogs will be 250 to 275 and the bigger hogs will be 325-350... I have been hog hunting since 1981 or 1982 with dogs and the biggest we caught was probably 375 or so... But I predict there will be one shot that will weigh over 700 pounds down toward South Texas one day...I have heard stories from 2 different ranchers that have seen 2 big boar hogs in that area... I saw a big red boar hog at a big ranch just south west of Victoria in the late 1980's by the O'Conner Ranch...He must of weighed between 7 and 800 pounds and the dogs ran him for a while and gave it up...He was huge and very fast...This hog was running squatted down low to the ground with his belly just skimming over the ground...His hoof prints were at least four inches across and slightly longer...I didn't have very good dogs at that time but I don't think that that boar could be bayed...This hog was not rolely poley with fat, he actually looked like a big bad machine...kind of reminded me of a rhino...But this big ranch planted corn in a 75 acre field in the middle of the woulds so the hogs would feed in that field and stay out of the main fields... Hogs are a lot smarter than deer and a 7 year old buck is super smart so I wonder how much smarter a trophy boar would be...More than likely these big hogs will make his home in a place where they is very little dog hunting pressure...and some of these big hogs might not stop unless they are rolling fat... |

The way I see it is go look in the books they don't kill many black bears over 500 lbs so how many hogs are running around that are that big I've seen some guys guess a hog at 400lbs put him in a scale and be 225 soaking wet with two cinder blocks tie to em it's never official without a scale terry I no right were your coming from we been discussing this subject between us for awhile now glad to get some other opinions

I can count the big boar tracks I have seen on one had and this red boar dwarfed them...this hog appeared to be running crouched and low to the ground because he knew he would be seen over the weeds because he was tall and would be seen otherwise...that is smart... |

If you ask a deer hunter the weight of a hog, you can usually cut their guess in half. Not sure why, but it's been my experience.

I have seen a 225 pound hog run across the road and I turned my dogs out on the red hot track and when the hog was caught it turned out to be bigger than what it looked...When taking pics of a dead hog it seems to be larger than real life but the actual visual of a live hog in the wild seems smaller than actual size of the hog...
