Ding Ding Ding Ding! That is because the picture of the hog isn't from US soil. It isn't from North America. It isn't even from the northern hemisphere. It is just a pic stolen from online. It is a giant forest hog from a park in Kenya, not even the same species as our hogs. It is Hylochoerus meinertzhageni. They get up to 600 lbs or so, but that isn't particularly large one.

The hog has been misidentified here and here, even being attributed to Indiana, LOL.

My friend in Cross Plains said "I don’t mess with those boys from De Leon"
I saw big hog tracks on his property. Saw an huge Ol’ hog ghosting through the shadows before enough light for scope. One of those "is that really what I’m seeing type sightings".
These are not largest but the picture I could find(Who takes pictures of hog tracks???).

This hog was taken in Coleman/Cross Plains by a freind of mine a couple of years ago.


I didnt get this old or come this far by backing up, ok I'll give an inch when needed but no more. I like rule number 308.

Don't have link, as mentioned, pic in krmitchel's link is different.
No one says ya have ta read me threads nor post.

Hogs that big 780#'s ? You actually think they get that big in wild ?
My hunting was on (wooded) lease, some feeders, & mostly OSBWMA.
You hunt several places farm land. We're chances of hog could get ta be in 300#range.
How many you seen weighing 500#'s.
Friend had a pig farm, boar weigh close ta 800#'s, it got feed daily, & in small pen.
Didn't havera forge in wild for food.

Got D- in grammer, was busy spending time out in d woods.
Some pics on this form people try make hog look bigger than what it really is.
Did a few photos different thread of hog took.
One me AR in front of hog, next pic, AR behind hog, ta show difference.

Still say: this is hunting forum, got on hear ta see if any one wanted ta do some hog hunting on WMA's
Help out with hog problem, seen lots of people get shot down bye some on here, (they probley never meet the person), asking ta help out. The problem tis : hunting has become a richman sport.
Low-income workers can't afford today's prices. They too looking for places ta hunt.
Tis a big suporter of WMA's do it yourself hunts.
Some can't handle the truth,.
It wasn't my grammer, that put me on peoples ignorance list, tis way i type.

confused2 havent seen to many of your video's lately. Because of the heat ?
rock_on Best wishes.

My apologies I should have given more detail of the above pic. I dont do any social media other than this or post because I'm not good at it.
I was not there when this hog was taken but I do belive I saw him the evening before. I was hunting hogs with my guide freind late one evening ( no thremal gear ) over a feeder on the edge of a big, tall and somewhat thick sunflower field we had been dove hunting on. We took some hogs that had came into the feeder, upon going to recover them I heard something out in the middle of the sunflower field and saw the top of the sunflowers swaying, waving. It was moving fast going up the field and could only make out somthing black and only the top of it, right below the tall sunflowers. As I continue to watch it came out of the sunflower field maybe 150 yards and made a right thur an open gate hauling [censored] down the length of the bar wire fence on the othe side. The top of his back looked to be as high as the top wire on the fence. I told my guide freind to look but he was busy with the dead hogs but I told him what I saw. If we had waited a little longer I think he would have come into that feeder but he was smart that day. The next day or two my guide friend texted me these pics saying they had gotten him. Thats my adventure and all I know about this hog. I have not seen anything or heard of anything esle regarding this hog.

I watched a 705 pound domestic hog go across the scales at a local processor. The pic in the original post ain’t even close.

cheers as mentioned, that's the pic shown in article i seen,
krmitchel has a different pic. That hog could be @ the 800# range.

A hog ta get that size, isn't living (hiding/surviving)
out in woods, foraging around. Just my 2cents
Farm pen feed can get that big.

It could get that big in one of the HF type places for hog hunts,
we're protein is feed, & like the big rack deer, is passed up.
Let age, (weight) put on ta draw more hunters.

Not sure, if remember right the hog was held down by 2 bulldogs.
& feet tied. That's a dang big hog ta try that on. Even a 300# hog
would be hard ta hold down.

Did some old school branding on ranch, & some work with veterinary
casterating hogs, without squeeze shoot.

edit : archery has already started here, health & money funds,
have kept me out so far, bro's & me 80 some year young mom have been out.
Mom had a buck within range, but was head on, so no shot.
Areas i have trail cams, plan ta hunt, look good.
One area had pic of 5 deer, 4 were bucks.
Yet when shotgun/muzzleloader season hits,
deer have already changed thar patterns.
Archery starts today in texas .
Best wishes.
