Where I hunt, most, would brag about killing a 200 pounder! captdavid

If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!

Yep, and I agree. I think most people over estimate the weight of a hog. I guessed this one at 125-130 and it went 136.
I've seen some wild hogs that I thought would go over 200 a few times.
We raised hogs, when I was growing up, so I have an advantage. It takes a might big hog to get to the 300+ weight. Not saying they are not out there, I know they are. Just not as many as people think.
Kinda like boone & crocket bucks.... they are there, just not many.

Until we got a scale we thought we were killing 250 pounders. Turns out they are 200 lbs. The biggest we have weighed in Burnet is a 225 lb sow. She was about to have a litter. When we kill a large one, we throw in a dollar apiece to guess the weight. I haven't won yet.

Good looking hog for sure! I always tell people when I take them fishing that they can call a fish any weight they want ……… as long as they don’t ask me for the scales. Most don’t ask again!

Hancock, I know what you mean. I think those scales magically shrink that weight! Ours did it about 75 lbs for those around 250. Seems like they reduced them by around 75:) captdavid

Heck, guys - some of us could miss the weight of a jackrabbit by 4 pounds!

That looks to me like a perfect size to eat. Good job.
You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.
