Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire This is what a 400 lb hog looks like,

Maybe two or three miles from me as the crow flies. I sometimes watch birds and do Christmas Bird Counts in the very woods along Leon Creek where that hog was likely bedding down.

I woulda thought it took access to crop fields to grow ‘em that big.

Hogs in the woods along the creek floodplains in this city are a given. They always ran from me back in that particular patch of woods outside the fence but then again some degree of illegal hunting by locals did and prob’ly still does occur.

Where it’s really a pain is where the hogs ain’t ever shot at and ain’t fearful enough of people. I always go into the woods carrying, mostly on account of hogs. People too, of course, but mostly hogs.
