You're hunting the General area I hunt a lot. Although you had rain, it's pretty dry and pigs don't grow as large as some of the wetter or more cultivated climes. Any hog that approaches 200lbs if not huge, is pretty darn big. You should have never weighed it. It would have been close to 300lbs! Unless one chooses to shoot the smaller ones 100-150 pounders are a good average. I hope everyone got one or at least a shot. I'm sure most of your shots were over feeders around 100yds or so?


"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!
