Maybe, but I think they kinda expect you to eat there, which is a non-starter for me.
On the other hand, nothing makes an old fatso feel better about himself than looking at even bigger fatsos, so it might be worth the risk.

I always go into the woods carrying, mostly on account of hogs. People too, of course, but mostly hogs. People of Walmart...aren't they hogs? 15 (??) 20 (??) years ago when SKS’s were cheap and abundant at gun shows a lot of folks around here bought em. So when I heard two separate rapid fire shot strings maybe 50-100 yards out along urban Leon Creek one Christmas Count morning I just assumed SKS. After deer or hogs either one, prob’ly by guys that lived in the ‘hood immediately adjacent. Doesn’t trouble me if they eat ‘em, but last Fall or the one before in that big hog’s woods by the base there was a sizable buck dead in the creek, like the one in Dances With Wolves. Prob’ly ran off and died after being shot. One time I was back in some woods on the Southwest Side when two skinny little Guatemalan (or wherever) Indians in full camo gear stood up from some cover, looked like friggin Central American guerillas. Friendly and all but not a lick of English. One had a pump shotgun the other a scoped rifle. Meat hunters from the notorious Indian Creek neighborhood about 100 yards away.

Thought this was gonna be another " Women of Walmart" thread. That’s probably the best habitat for 400 pounders. 😜 Walmart would be like quality public property: lots of 350s but a true 400 would be tough to find. Golden Corral: private property where you can find 400s regularly. Yep. The “Golden Trough” would probably be where the big ones feed. Would that be considered baiting. 😜

Take a trip to Woodman's at 12:30 AM. You'll see them in person every day of the week. Mostly they ride around in the electric carts. Finding one that isn't rocking the EBT is the hard bit.

This is what 400lb hogs on FB and hunting forums usually look like. Of course if there was an actual scale involved it would read more like 150 but everyone knows that mechanical devices are prone to fail. I’ve shot a pile of pigs, hundreds of the things, and I’ve never seen or shot one close to 400, one or two may have been around 300 but nothing even approaching 400. Of course I’ve not killed any 1000lb elk, 350lb deer, or 2000lb moose either and those seem to be pretty oft repeated numbers around hunting season.

Of the literally truck loads of them we’ve killed here at the Ranch, I’ve only seen one real 400 pounder. And he was a frickin monster.

Well, there are definitely 1000lb elk... Sure there are. But I’ll wager that 99 or more percent of the bull elk that aren’t Roosevelts killed in a given year aren’t 1000lb elk. Yet every dude that kills a raghorn claims it weighed 1000lbs, not 999 or 1002 but 1000lb. Hell I had a guy tell me last year that him and his son killed a pair of 1000lb cows, in Oklahoma where a big bull weighs about 550.

Out archery hunting one of the group was on his last evening of the last day of his last chance to hunt for the year. We're dicking around hiking down this trail together. Buddy cow calls... Here comes this young of the year blasting in, stops about 30 yards broadside and get arrowed. Little fugger took off like greased lightning down the bank, through the creek, up the bank,down the bank, through the creek, up the bank and fell over 20 yards from us. Damn we laughed our asses off! Littlest bull any of had ever kilt! Took him out whole!
