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

Somebody googled Ugly Women with huge wild hogs they killed and her picture came up. Did she kill that pig while you two were still married?

We killed a lot of hogs in the Oconee River swamps in central Georgia. We loved to eat a smoked wild hog ham.
And one day my buddy killed one about that size. We didn't weigh it but we called it 420 pounds. One shot in the neck from a 30-06, Winchester Silvertip 180 gr, the hog keeled over. It was a boar. That was one weird thing about hog hunting, compared to deer, you could tell a boar when he was facing away from you, the balls on a boar were the size of a grapefruit.

It was quite a chore to haul that monster out of the swamp. It looked like a dinosaur.
I had a meat grinder, we cut off five pounds of meat, we were going to eat some more pork sausage. I must say, while grinding the meat, it did not smell good.
We put 3 patties in the frying pan, and it smelled so bad it ran us out of the kitchen.
We tossed the sausage out in the yard to the dog, he let out a yelp and ran to the other side of the yard. The mutt wouldn't touch it.

We killed 50 or 60 hogs back then and that was the only one we didn't eat.

We got ‘hogs’ in this area that drive little bitty cars with no hubcaps or matching tires that’ll make that dude look like a fly-weight!

Neal, ahem,,,,,,,, that’s the “Guilded Trough”.

44mc sent me the pic to post. He said the guy is 6'4" and 225.

Same happened to us. Stank up my buddy's kitchen to where he thought the dog had lifted his leg somewhere. Turned out to be the pork chops. Had to toss the whole batch, and that was the last time we kept a boar for eating.

I do wish God had put some better handles on the hog though, as anytime one gets much above 200lbs he is surely tough to drag by yourself. We've taken a few in the 250-350lb range and they can even be hard work for two men to pull out of a thicket.

Truth be told, I get more satisfaction from killing a good hog than I do from shooting a decent 3.5yr old buck.

SK, I have had a delicious ham off a big boar that didnt smell bad when we cleaned it. Have you ever had a good, big boar?

Yes, one that was de-nutted. They grow fast, and the meat is good...........

We steered clear of the big boars after we tried to eat that first one.
The biggest boar we ever ate was about 110 pounds and he was pretty good.

The biggest I've killed is 300#'s.

Weighed him, dragged him to the "bone pile" with my 4 wheeler. Checked later, that nasty 300# boar had been eaten down to bones, spine and ribs.

We put a trail cam at that site. It was hogs eating hogs.

So, I told my buds I'll shoot'em, won't eat'em. And, they say wear gloves to clean them due to diseases like Brucellosis, Lepto, etc.

Now, a young hog is good eating. The older ones, I'll shoot'em, leave it to their kin to dispose of the carcasses.

We routinely have 1,100 pounders at the State Fair. This years winner was 1,253 pounds.

What the hell. I thought it was written in the rules that you HAVE to guess the weight of the hog(s) pictured.

You gave it away in the title.

I was going to say 410.

I've seen whole herds of them on the first of the month and the fifteenth of the month at Wally's world

Hey, you win. Everyone else thot it was 310.

Birdy owes you a bottle of whine.

S, we need that pic, if its got 4 legs.

409...

believe me you don't want to see it......

my brother took that pic. at his house . it is not a fake we think it was the one that was raiding a horse boarding place across a county road from our lease .some people said they saw a bear cross the road
