Running through some of my pictures off my camera here in east texas and ran into this one. How big would you say this one is? He's a regular visitor.

Looks stalky and thick...140lbs? Maybe a little less. Not sure it gets to 150 though...

think stealth is pretty close live weight, like pappy always say's: pudding, on de table had one show up on cam few days ago, i'm de worst hunter on dis form. seen were people do the tape method for weight, i'm usualy mile or two from truck let alone scale & usualy take quarters & backstap. tape is supose to be acurate. sorry for lengthy post. they can take me outa the woods, but my mind wonders as pappy would say.

There is a spring about 300 yards away. Appears he like to soak in it before eating breakfast. He is a regular shopper.

As ever, pics are notoriously bad for making weight estimates, especially when you don't know the scales or distances of objects in a stranger's images. Looking at the size and shape of the boar and looking for cutters development, that is a younger hog. I would be inclined to think he is closer to txvarminter's end of the guess range so far, maybe very close. So small, but healthy loooking.

So small, but healthy loooking. ya gotta know what your doing judgeing these critters. tis like going ta the grochery store, don't go on empty stummic. Tis fun ta guess though, i'm postaddic just Choot-en ya can use de tape method & then compair ta scale. u still got that formula, tried that but guess didn't do it right.

He is right about half way. Bottom of the black plastic spinner on the feeder is about 6'6" off the ground. He's definitely going on the smoker. Just set my stand up this past weekend. Want to do a Euro mount on a head for my office but I don't think he's what I am looking for. Don't know about those cutters though. Can tell he has some but length is the question.
