Guess the Weight……..

Guess the Weight…….. - 02/23/15 02:15 PM

My son shot this sow on my new lease that is south of Bowie. She seemed like a large sow so I thought I would throw it on here to see if I could get your guesses on how much (or little) she weighed. I will let you know that I bought a scale to weigh her so I do know but was a little surprised at the actual weight.





On your mark, get set, GO!!!!!!

The short story to go with the picture – Son came home from college because his baseball games got canceled this weekend due to the weather (other team was coming from Kansas) so he decided to go with me to the new lease to help me set up a feeder and a blind. We get there about 1:30 and decide to walk over to where I wanted to place the feeder so I tell him to ‘grab the gun, you never know’. We walk about 75 yards along the fence line when I start hearing pigs on the neighboring property. After 5 minutes, her and a couple more cross the fence and he put a wallop on her. I did get an offhand shot at another one (after my son handed me an unloaded gun - squeeze, click, damn, cycle a round, shoot at running pig some 200 yds off) but did not connect. Pretty exciting first 30 minutes on the new lease.

I say 160. Biggest sow I have ever seen in Texas didn't even hit 200 and I don't think that one does either.

clap The fence line behind the two ponds where we put the first feeder (which isn't working either).

Re: Guess the Weight…….. - 02/23/15 07:53 PM

When we walked up on her, we were both in shock as to how big she was. We went to drag her 20’ or so to take some pictures and it about ate our lunch. Loading her on the carrier was a real rough go too. I told my son that that was one of the biggest sows I had ever seen (and yes, I’ve seen a bunch of big sows) and told him that I thought she would weigh in at 300 lbs. I even called a few friends and told them the same.

You need to enforce the "Stay Out of my Area" immediately before it gets out of hand bolt

Re: Guess the Weight…….. - 02/23/15 08:00 PM

Well, I ain't waiting until 3:00 because I'm going home at 2:00.

Here is the scale picture on Sunday morning and is the gutted weight and after 20 hours of hanging. The weight was 247 lbs.

Looking on the internet, it said to multiply by 1.25 to get a live weight. That puts her at 308lbs.



Spro was the closest on his two guesses but I am going to have to dis-qualify him because I swung by his house on Saturday night and he saw how big she was in person!!!

So by default, PSE-Madman wins a free pig hunt with us some time. Congratulations Sir!!!!

Look at the 'Making Bacon' post to see how much fat was on her. And it was all over her and the thinnest spot was over an inch thick.

We also tied two 45lb plates on the scale and it was dead nuts.

Nice pig. That's a monster.

Re: Guess the Weight…….. - 02/24/15 03:53 AM

Wish I knew how big your son is for comparison.

I was thinking 190 but when you said you were surprised it got me thinking.

I'm going 243 on a guess.

Congrats to you and your son.

Re: Guess the Weight…….. - 02/24/15 04:26 PM

Well, since y'all are still guessin' I'm gonna go with about 247 gutted (that's assuming a hang time of around 20 hours).
