i'm a bad influance, you gonna get put on the ignorance list like me... That is good size hog... Have taken few close ta the 300# but its been years... Few years back friend & i were on a hog hunt... Seen hog that size, easy 20yrd shot... He still gives me hard time for not pulling the trigger.. We were over 2miles back in woods & it was a big hog... While he is big enough ta have back packed it out by himself, i was one pulling trigger & just wasn't up ta par... Had back packed a smaller one few days earlier from same general area... Have health problem, & wasn't recuperated.. As pappy once said: hogs-the other wild game ... It helps out land owners... Reason for 24-7-365 season on them... Less presure on deer... It went ta 4 deer county here... & saves ya some money at store, last time got hamburger it was $30.00 for 10#'s... lol, even a middle class, uneducated dude like me can figure that out... Gotta go ta the creek & haul some water, commode stopped up... As pappy once said: doing the best i can with what i got ... Dang Gov. spying on me.. Alian body parts & havent been paying taxes on my 6 figured income... lol some times my mind wonders.... Best wish, safe hunten, &.have a good one... Edit: changed few errors...

Be sure to get a weight or measurements when you shoot him and post his weight.

Its just a guess... Thinking its gonna be 31-32" from front hoof ta top of its shoulder looking at top pic.... Had 3 jump out of no were at OSBWMA & run to some thick stuff.. Fired a round from 30-30 just before they went in.. Not being to bright, huntsolo decided if push em they would go threw thick stuff & could slow down after in more pen terrain... Brair's, & such had me on hands & knees several times, & duck walk... It hit mudd puddle, layed down, most wounded criitter do this... Could se the hair mark in mud.. Lots of young trees sapplings.. Hogs were runing at shot, hit high.. Their was fresh blood on one sapling after mud hole that was to keys in my pocket, standing next to it... As said in other posts, bout bright as a burnt out light bulb ... for en & chllen...

Man I would hate to stumble on him in the dark. That's a big hog. Yep. My hunting buddy and I have a running joke along the lines of — We only hunt hogs if we have a significant advantage, and should the hogs ever acquire firearms, learn to use them, and start shooting back we'll find something else to do! I suppose the reverse corollary to that is if we find ourselves in a situation where we DON'T have firearms and meet up with a hog like the one in your photo, We'll find someplace else to be until we can come back with a rifle in our hands.
I have two unwritten rules: 1. 2.
