Whats the BIGGEST HOG youve ever killed? - 09/14/10 11:51 AM

me and a buddy killed a hog that weighed just over 600 pounds back in 1998........ive got pictures of it but i need to figure out a way to get them on here and i dont have the negatives if that makes a difference.........yall would appreciate how big this sonofagun was. this was one of many hogs that we cut when we'd catch them in our traps........no telling how many we cut but this ws the only one we ever got or saw for that matter.........we killed him in a thicket and he was hard as hell to get out of there.......that was a long couple of hours

0 lbs.......I have yet to get a shot at a hog. I have never really seen any around here (Burnet County), saw a couple one time but had deer at the feeder and was waiting on a nice buck we had been seeing.

I would really like to see pics of any hog over 400lbs. No pics no proof as they say.

260 lbs at 249 yards at Brad(Helomech's) place last year. Shot wth .270 WSM (I'M on the right, and am 6'4. at the time weighed 290 myself!)

Have caught a lot of hogs and never broke 400lbs. Biggest one we ever caught weight 389lbs and that was a long time ago when there was fewer hogs and they all tended to be bigger. I hear you about loading them. We aint ever been able to load anything over 250 with only two ppl onto a 4wheeler.

Re: Whats the BIGGEST HOG youve ever killed? - 09/15/10 04:43 AM

I will pay for pics of a 700 lb wild hog that was killed. A boar over 400 is rare. My best is 365 on a certified scale with dogs. I know of a few over 400 . Not calling anyone a liar. Just that if there are no pics and a scale weight then it is hard to say what it weighed.

I completely understand where you are coming from. If I hadn't killed the one that I did that weighed 458, I would never believe that hogs 700 lbs. even existed. It is hard to grasp how big an animal of that size is. It is nearly as big as a baby elephant.

the only reason mine was so big is because he was cut and there was plenty to eat out on the ranch.....my niece is coming this weekend and i'm going to see if she knows how i can get these 12 year old pic's on here for yall to see..........nice hogs guys

This picture doesn't do this boar justice. I think he was around 350-375 lbs. My sister's boyfriend on the left shot him in between the eyes in one of our bow blinds. I was in the blind and when that boar popped out I almost ripped the gun out of his hand.

Looks like a free range domestic hog.

I have trapped and killed hundreds of hogs and only have 1 that was barely 300lbs. You hear about 300 and now 400, 500lb+ hogs on here all time. I think a lot of folks have a hard time with guessing weight and distance of shot grin

I have shot 200lb hogs that seemed like 650 by the time I got them out of the field but that doesnt count.

This is my biggest i didnt weigh it but u guys can put a weight on it for me. I am thinking close to five or right on it.The skin was about inch 1/2 good luck. I took this one with my Savage 308 with a standard 7.62 Army round clean shot at 100yrds he ran about 25 yards and hit the dirt.

365 lbs taken on the Nail Ranch with a 7 1/2 inch 44 Blackhawk.

Posted By: stxranchman

Re: Whats the BIGGEST HOG youve ever killed? - 09/15/10 07:14 PM

Largest for me was 325 lbs. No pics but do have his head mounted. Weighed in 3 parts-carcass,guts, and head & hide..since my scale only went to 200#'s back then. Was with a guy that shot a huge hog in the Pipe Creek area..everyone guessed it at 300+ lbs. Took it a scale and weighed him before field dressing and skinning and he weighed 280...so they always look bigger than what they are. Like most have said they are not as big as they look if they are not weighed.

I shot this beast as I was driving to the back of Camp Cooley Ranch to pick up deer hunters. Right at 300#

Re: Whats the BIGGEST HOG youve ever killed? - 09/17/10 04:32 AM

my biggest so far was 160 field dressed. seen some & shot at couple over 200 - never seen one (in person, not on a game cam) that was over 300

If I run into a 700 lb'er, i hope i'm in my stand & not on the ground

Re: Whats the BIGGEST HOG youve ever killed? - 09/17/10 05:10 AM

we just kill 'em..rarely weigh them or even take pics, but did come across these two. (usually the ones posing for a photo-op were shot from the porch)





just haven't felt like shooting him....(but he won't go 300)


Posted By: BurrOak

Re: Whats the BIGGEST HOG youve ever killed? - 09/17/10 01:17 PM

I have killed probably 2 dozen hogs in my life, and i think its a stretch to say the biggest one was 150 lbs. I see plenty of hogs, but i never see big hogs. Most i have killed have been in the 50-100 lb range. Like around this size...



No complaints though, these are the best size for eating! Think the one on the right went 115 lb, and that was about the 2nd or 3rd biggest one i have ever killed. Got these 3 in only 2 shots.

Re: Whats the BIGGEST HOG youve ever killed? - 09/17/10 01:36 PM

lining them up is a blast!

Ones like these have brought my estimated weight average way down, but I'm an equal opportunity destroyer.

Re: Whats the BIGGEST HOG youve ever killed? - 09/17/10 07:39 PM

lol yea nice polo. But TX KILLER is def right Domestic hog for sure saw a couple more on here that were also. Anytime you get over the 400 lb mark you got to suspect domestic blood line. It dont make them any less wild but tend to grow alot bigger alot faster.

Re: Whats the BIGGEST HOG youve ever killed? - 09/17/10 07:45 PM

True but there really isnt anything to brag about if your shooting Wilbur from Charlotte's web! A flat nose floppy eared pig in the wild really isnt wild yet and chances are you will be able to walk right up on it for a kill wich is flat out lame if you ask me.

hehehe
He does look like a wilbur.
serious we have no idea about that sucker, no pig farm around here, could be some 4H kids hog that got away or let loose, all I know is theres tons of hogs in this area, no pig farms around and wilbur shows up in the field, dont know anything more than that. Wasnt going to try and pet him thats for sure.

Check out Hoghunting.com
Danny Smith (owner) has a video of a 765lb boar killing, then stomping into the mud a 200lb+ male....during a fight over mating sows.
He then stalked and shot the big guy with his bow.

Re: Whats the BIGGEST HOG youve ever killed? - 09/18/10 08:30 PM

No idea how much he weighed, im guessing 300 lbs, big SOB is all i know!
