Will give an answer when I ground check him, hopefully this weekend. The feeder is your typical boss buck protein at a normal height. Included a picture of the feeder with a deer around the same area so you can appreciate the size, as I know pictures are difficult to judge relative scale from. I added the other pic just because it was funny

Edited to make the pic of deer and hog about the same magnification. The original pics made the deer look smaller as it wasn’t mag’d up like the hog pic is. I think I got pretty close to make the feeder look about same size. This is southern OK and my typical doe this year ran about 125-130# in the late season.

If you don’t kill him or fence that protein feeder off he’ll put on a ton of weight real quick.

His head wasn’t fully off the ground, but it was close, so I would say no more than 5-10# above this

And that is part of the problem with guessing from pictures. Hogs may look larger or smaller than they actually are.
