Alan's girlfriend has been after him to take her hog hunting. So today they loaded up the pirogues and headed into the bottom. He said they saw about 12-15 in a bunch. About noon I got this pic.



They finally got out of the bottom and we had a pig to clean.

Happy birthday to you that looks like some tasty pork! I love hogs and hog hunting!

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

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

Do they have webbed feet?

Pigs thrive most anywhere

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.

Randy,

Congrats to Alan and his lady friend.
