As I've stated before, where I hunt there is little crop agricultural. It is basically dry. Our pigs don't grow as large as those where it's wetter, or there's more agriculture. Anything over 150 is big, over 200 is huge. I've killed two, over 200, a buddy one. All were excellent table fare. All were solitary boars. The worst I've eaten were both around 100lb sows that had been nursing. If I had my choice it would be the fattest non nursing sow or boar in a sounder. Hopefully it will weigh 125 or better. FWIW the live wild hog buyer, to be slaughtered for sale to Europe pays a premium for the larger hogs. Captdavid


"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.

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