OK...this would explain why my guess of 270 was wrong. All the hogs I shoot have two ears, and the ears usually add 60+ pounds to the total weight. Just ask me..I shoot a BUNCH of hogs over #200  Honest... However I'll be the first to admit I'm the only hog hunter in Texas ( native or non-native) who hasn't killed a 450 lb hog. It seems EVERYBODY i talk to has... Yeah those ears are much heavier than they look!

Aww... A lot of you were dancing close to it. One was on the nose! ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/V2HaNdk.jpg) OK...this would explain why my guess of 270 was wrong.

However I'll be the first to admit I'm the only hog hunter in Texas ( native or non-native) who hasn't killed a 450 lb hog. It seems EVERYBODY i talk to has... I kill 50-75 a year. I have only ever killed 2 over 300. One this spring was 314.5, that is the biggest one I have ever weighed. The other was bigger than by a bit, but by how much I don't know. For sure it did not scare 400 (nowhere close), and probably not 350 either. That one was 5 years ago down by Ozona. I have killed a dozen or so between 250 and 285. I carry scales and weigh everything I can. I have had quite a few fool me, both ways. If I had seen this thread in time I probably would have guessed Barry's around 220-225. Those missing ears really throw it off and make it strange to look at.
