I killed one that big, actually bigger, with a single shot of 5.56. I had no idea he was that big until I came up to him. The adult hogs that were with him, I thought were piglets. At night, under a light. Huge.
I got one that big about a year ago at the same spot.
Barry, what do you think this boar weighed?
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Dayum! Last time I saw one that big was in a bar in Ketchikan....🤣
How did she look at closing time? GW
Why, like a movie star, as Mr Gillie pointed out
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)
No wonder he’s so damn big, you keep feeding him! Lol.
Smoke’m!
Not really. Those big boars keep to themselves more than anything.
These boars have only been here a day or two.
I have been watching the sounder for awhile, and they come in regularly...
The boars pretty much only come in when the sows are in heat.
rockin,
does anyone make a sow in heat, estrus type lure like they have for deer?
seems that might get them boars to come around a bit more?
Although, it's likely them pigs are smarter than a buck in rut.

MOGC,
That's one of the few I know exactly what it weighed..
I even started a thread here and gave a nice bone handle Case Trapper knife for the closest guess..
Pigs are not like coyotes, that will come in from a mile or more away, if you call them with an E-caller, if they are in the general area fairly close they will come in when called, I have found the piglet in distress sound works best for me, I have called 3 big boars with the distress sounds, but mostly have pissed off sows respond. and a coyote will come to the piglet sounds also.

Yeah, my experience leads me to the point you made about calling in an area where you know hogs are. Permanent habitat.
You can call and get them out of the brush for a shot.
Just came in from calling, at a tank with a bunch of pig sign, got there about 6:30 backed in the brush sat down on my folding chair with my shooting sticks, sat for about 10 min. then called with piglet distress, here came 2 sows with about 10 25# piglets, shot the biggest sow 125 # and a piglet before they got back in the brush, worked out well, needed them for one of the ranch hands girls birthday party, it was easy for me dropped them off and the whole family, were standing there with their knives, ready to work, had a coke with them and came home.
