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

Not far at all from my neck of the woods.

Pretty sure this was outside the loop where there are still cornfields and such, but I've seen a few big ones over the years well inside the city limits.

Nice. Got one up by Pauls Valley 10 yrs ago about that size. Was quite a chore getting him up into the truck.

My, they revert quickly!

Buzzard bait- - - - -wouldn't even make good sausage!

I don't believe it's 400lbs. - huge though way bigger than i've ever killed.

i was weighed, 411lb

Who is the hunter Roger?

Ahh, nevermind, I just popped the link.

imagine a 1 pound block of butter. yeah there is 400 of them in that hog!

I have a pic. of one that was 449 lbs on a dig. scale if some one wants to post it pm me I can text it to you

Wyatt Walton, who works at Lone Star Trapping, a company that specializes in removing hogs, told mySA.com he was called to the golf course Thursday and had to use K-9 assistance to catch the "extremely large trap, smart boar." Walton declined to name the golf course in which the animal was caught.

I much prefer the hams and chops from a bit larger animal. I have raised a few Yorkshire barrows and gilts to 340-360 lbs. Other than the tusks, black spots, and the one in the photo is a bit leaner than the hogs I raise on commercial hog grower pellets. They look about the same.

If it's a female. I imagine it would eat just fine. I never had any problem eating steaks and chops from a five year old sow.

I never ate a boar, but I understand they are a different story.

digging those velcro Reeboks 👍

I thought this was another Green Bay Packer thread.

Rong. They dont get that big I heard on the far.

People are used to baby pigs.
I know ferals don't usually get too big.

When we raised hogs, we left the grow up.
Not lean tasteless, industrial style.
But hillbilly farmer, I have 8 piglets, and I need to
get as much meat, and lard, as I can get style.

We made hams that were 50-60 pounds.

We often kept a young one or two to breed, the momma
got to hang out with her offspring. Idaho is spot on, big sows eat just fine.
We always avoided killing one if she was in heat. No idea if it matters.
It mattered to the old folk, and we never tested it.

Saw many 400+ pound hogs swinging.

The most impressive was scalding them,
then the scraping.

Scraping......really sucks!

Why is he humping it?

I always field mount the big ones. Can’t afford an actual mount

It's a dominance thing ..

Woe
