.38?
I'm guessing at 810 pounds that Hog had limited mobility Or we just under estimate the potential of our guns.

Pigs are dense and that ole boy is a biscuit shy of 3 bills on his own. So, experts... How much did this in weigh? Did you weigh it on scales? Guessing 150-175.

Wormy I can't guess but I have had to drag one out of the river swamp smaller than that with a friend. Almost whipped us. They do weigh heavy for their size.
The hog pictured looks at least 400 lbs.

I used to work on a big hog farm when I was 15 and 16. We had a Duroc Boar that weighed 850. I was 6'4" at 16 and that hogs back was almost even with my shoulder. The one in this picture wouldn't come to my waist and he is lean looking. We also had an old Landrace boar that weighed around 800. He was really long and his back was middle of my chest. So, that big one was about 6-inches shorter than a cape buffalo and only weighed 850? He was as tall as a hereford bull and only weighed 850?

They always look big strung up. Look at the pic at it on its side lying in grass.... It does look way smaller than 850 laying there.

I've never even seen a wild hog and I don't know if weights are similar, but I see a lot of 4h hogs weighed on certified scales hit 250-300 and they are ALOT smaller looking than that hog.

Up to your shoulder - while were you were kneeling?

Up to your shoulder - while were you were kneeling? We kept a Yorkshire boar for about six years for breeding. He was over 650 when we sold him. Way less than three feet tall at the shoulder, but he was about 8 feet long from nose to tail. That critter hanging looks more massive than my Yorkshire boar. Last year we raised four pigs to butcher. At butcher their weights ranged from 325 to 365. They were not half as big as that hog hanging. An eight foot long hog is not twice as big as a four foot long hog. And it's not four times as big. More like eight times as heavy.

You guys comparing farmed pigs with feral pigs is like me comparing antler size of whitetail in a deer farm and a free ranging deer.....

That's a big pig, but I don't see 820 in those pics...

dave You're saying that pig weighs in at about 250?
