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.
Mt buddy just drilled a monster like that this afternoon, one of three today. The 308 slinging Berger 168's just lays them right down, and it isn't even loaded to max., closer to 2600 fps in vintage LC Match brass.

Are they worth eating, that old?
They all eat good but the big ones are a bitch to clean.

Was once told and have found in my limited experience Killing hogs to seem true
Once you kill a hog, cut into a rear quarter. If meat smells nasty and musty it will taste nasty. If it smells earthy/meaty per say then it will eat fine
Have killed about 10 boars. 3 sows. Most smell kinda musty, but 3 of the big boars meat smelled very musty, and sure as heck tasted terrible even as sausage( the dang dog wouldn’t eat it no kidding). The ones that didn’t ate fine
Some of you have way more experience with this and would appreciate your input.
That’s a big boar. Get him kilt and post a pic for us!
Around here. We find the ones shot in the spring/early summer are great. Mid summer is questionable, late summer to fall and most smell pretty bad. You are what you eat, so are they.
Back in 2015 deer season, I killed one similar in size and he was terribly rank. Pulled him to the “boneyard” on our lease. Buzzards, coyotes and other hogs wouldn’t feed on him. Had an extended doe season into January and that nasty pig was never predated. He could have been sick but didn’t show any sign of illness...just nasty. About 80-125lbs is great.
Yes, that bastard needs to die, I have one like him and another a bit smaller on trail cam on the mountain behind the house, went through 2142 trail cam pics late last night, hope I can quietly punch either or both with a bow or suppressed 10/22, 40gr solids in the ear will make quiet efficient peace ; ]

Barry, what do you think this boar weighed?
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.

Thanks for the video Barry. Going to watch it after my shower.
I didn't know about pig pigs, but those javelina pigs will come to predator calls if they're in the area. Sounds similar to a "red" in distress will bring them in too.
