CaribouJack,
Nothing very interesting, just my old .308 Model 70 deer rifle. Still hunting down a little ridge looking for an eating pig and Shazam, this big baby dwarfed all in the field. So, I shot it and broke the spine.
No scales, but ranch folks estimated between 500 and 600 pounds, so I went the bigger number - 600. Took three men to wrestle it into the front end loader of the farm tractor. I paid the staff to clean it and doubled their usual fee. I have actually seen similar sized hogs taken along the Red River up north of Wichita Falls, and 500 pound show boars in FFA, so 600 sounded OK.
WE had all but tenderloins and back strap ground into breakfast sausage.
PS Gun Note - taking my .45-70 double rifle this weekend to pop a boar over dogs - good sport!
Double barreled 45-70 hogging, you dang right fun, you're going to have a blast!
