What is the biggest hog you've ever shot? Well shoot, if you were there when a friend shot one count that too.
My personal best was just over 400 lbs. Absolute beast. Thing came out with its belly draggin on the ground.
Buddy of mine down on the brazos river bottom near my ranch in Marlin shot one that was 900 lbs.
The beauty of the Second Ammendment is it won't be needed until they try and take it.

Im active duty at fort hood right now (Originaly from Lufkin texas) and my unit deploys to Iraq in late january of 2010.
It is very hard to find a good place to hunt around fort hood that doesnt have outrageous lease and trophy fees or that is guided.
My question is: would i be able to come improve opon your property by exterminating some hogs for you at little to no cost?
I dont require food or shelter. I will bring a tent and some sandwiches if I have to. I will also respect you land and rules. I promise to you that all I kill will be prosseced and eaten. Im not wastefull. I would like to get a good hunt In before I hit the Sandbox.

maybe i'm hunting in the wrong place?
our south tx hogs rarely hit the scale over 250, we killed TWO that were over 300 in 15 years of killing hogs
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

i've weighed a bunch and all the ones that would go "at least 300" turn out to be in the 180-250 range

The biggest I've seen killed in 19 years on Rancho Alacran, my place, weighed 270 dressed. The reason I say that is the guy that killed it wanted to have it processed, so we hauled it to Dimmitt Slaughter in Carrizo.
It was a boar and stunk all to be dammed. I told the guy that thing ain't fit to eat, but he wouldn't listen to me. Lonnie the man that was running the processing plant didn't want to do it, but finally agreed to. To tell you the truth I was embarresed to be a part of that scene, for bringing that guy and that hog to Lonnie's place.
Bartender, bring me anything except brake fluid, cause I don't plan on stopping!

My biggest so far was a little over 200 lbs.
A buddy of mine got one that bottomed out a 500 lb scale a few years ago & it was the biggest one that I've ever seen. (all of the pics have him in them & I'm not sure if he wants 'em posted)
Heard some stories of some true monsters & seen some pics of some in TX that have filled up a 8 foot truck bed.
Anyone know if they track the weight records on hogs in TX? (this thread got me searching the net but couldn't find much)

The biggest I've ever shot was the first I'd ever seen, in November, 1983. I was deer hunting West of Gatesville, and this big "thing" came out of the tree line carrying a doe in his mouth like a cat carrying a kitten. He'd toss the doe in the air and rip off a couple pounds of meat each time. I thought it was a bear at first. When I scoped in and realized it was a pig, I figured he was too danged ugly to live. I didn't like the idea of sharing the woods with anything like that, anyway, so I put a 165gr .308 into his ear hole. I have no idea what he actually weighed, but he bottomed out a 500# calf scale at some feed store around Jonesboro, I think. There was a picture of the pig, me, my dad and my uncle on the wall there for a long time.
