Every hog is 400 lbs and now 500 lbs til they get scaled and then the embarrassment starts when it turns out to be a 190 lb hog  Cheesy

Oh yeah I caught 3 of them the other day at the same time. I was by myself and with 4 dogs on leads I didn't know how I was gonna get them out. Then it dawned on me I had my trusty duck para cord lanyard in my pocket so I just hooked em up and threw them over my shoulder and started the little 15 mile stroll to the wheeler. I did this in AR I figure y'all would get at least a 800 pounder a week in Texas.

Man, so they're all over the place!!! Just as I suspected!

I'm not saying there's no such a animal, but I sure would love to see one with a scale pic. That's all I'm sayin.

Down in Texas you have to turn them 500 pound hogs loose until their old enough to take them of their momma. Lol

Had a coyote hunter tell me about a 700 pounder nearly as long as his truck that hangs out on the property we were hunting.  Sure wish we could have got on him that day since we were hunting Monty's tournament at the time lol

All the folks catching the 500 pounders could guess a chickens weight and miss him 40 pounds. When my son catches a hog and calls to tell me about it, I can take 100 pounds off the weight and 2 inches off the teeth and have him preety close.

a old man over here near shreveport killed a boar hog a couple years ago that
weighed 419lbs after he was gutted, tore up two of his dogs. we caught a boar hog that had a broken snout
two years ago 300+ of bone but he still looked big with the teeth when we were running up on him.
big hogs are hard to come by.

i would say this was atleast 350
  this was 270 we weighed it
  this one maxed out a 300 pund scale before its head was off the ground.. those are the biggest i have pictures of. caught one about 6 years ago that was a hoss it cut the dogs up so bad we killed it and ran the dogs back to the truck and forgot were the hog was. i have a video but you cant see the whole hog just its teeth.. never have seen one go 500 but my boss told me about a big white hog at a airport his dogs ran said it had to be 600 pounds(he never caught it) and i believe him he has been doing it so long he has no reason to lie

Who said I'm joking?!?!   Grin

We catch a couple around here that are 300-350, but even those are rare... One day I will get one of them 500 pounders.. And I'm sure I'll be hunting solo when I do...
