Just curious of some yalls opinions, I honestly have no idea. I lined up the pics for perspective with a young deer (probably 1.5)

Not sure but if I were a betting man I would swear he was over sixty pounds. Just saying.

Honestly I'm not good at guessing weight but I'll toss out 225

Actually I have one just like em at my place too. He has been givn my pig pipe hell and even stole one of then. The swivel was broke and pipe nowhere to be found.

This ^^^^ Muy Pronto...

Pig weights are hard to judge. 200 - 225... That's a WAG...

He's a big boy that wins fights with other boars. He'll run north of 200 lbs. I will be surprised if he weighs more than 240, though.

Nice boar. They don't really get much bigger than that without being trapped, neutered and released to fatten up in this part of the world.

I appreciate the feedback, You'd think I'd put some T posts down on the feeder legs by now, I've seen enough threads on here to know better... I guess I'm waiting on one of these boars to screw my deer season up hammer
Thanks again..

I would say 180 / 185. He is actually standing between where the 2 deer are.

I saw this post and thought I'd share pictures of the big boar at my feeder. I'm guessing 250+ weight.

Hogs are normally heavier than they look due to their short but stout frame

I say over 275

My experience is the opposite... Most people judge the weight higher than it actually is...

I'd say you'd get about 120 lbs on the smoker. Just let us know what time it'll be ready!

Thx for sharing.

Stay safe!

That Mangy looking boar needs to go see a dermatologist.

That is a thick Hog. Look @ his neck. I think he may be short though.

When they start to get the hump on their back just above the shoulders as that Hog has, they are approaching if not already 300lbs.

Hogs are always over judged. People always say I bet that pig is 200 when its really 140. That pig in your first pic might go 180. I'd listen to m Bennett. He knows what he is talking about!

That's my experience also. Usually when people are standing around a freshly-killed hog saying "OH MAN! HE'S HUGE!!! THAT S.O.B. IS 300 POUNDS E-A-S-Y!" it means that he'll weigh in around 230.

Now THAT is a big boar, Jimmster. He's been in so many fights that the hair doesn't grow through the scar tissue on his shoulders anymore. That's what they're talking about when they say razorback. He may ACTUALLY run 250+, but I still think you're likely to see 239.75 when you hoist him.
