    Hog experts' opinions needed.

    A friend of mine sent me these pictures from one of his game cams.
    He said this hog comes regularly to this protien feeder.

    The landowner doesn't allow bowhunting for deer.
    The friend has offered to let me try to stick this hog before rifle season starts.
    What do ya'll think he'll weigh?

    He's pushing 300 if not a little over. I like the long shout, can't believe he's showing up in broad daylight.

    Good luck getting on him, he'll make an awesome mount with that long snout. That's what I call a warewolf hog.

      I'd say he weighs enough. Do you know how tall the feeder legs are?

            he's a good hog, but if you compare him to the width of the feeder legs, the pic is a little misleading i think. im gonna say 180-190. good pig!

              he's around 275 to 300 for sure. If you are going to bowhunt for him, I would get a good fixed blade broadhead and quarter it up in behind his grisel plate. I bet the plate is 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick.

                Yep, might go 200, but if you really want good eatin, I'd shoot the one to the left!!

                  When it was dry, I could walk under the feeder and not hit my head. I'm 5'6.

                  My intial guess was over 300.
                  I may be a tad off, Wacm, but I know he's more than 190!

                    I would say a tad over 300. It looks like he has a lot of Russian Boar in him!! If you do get a chance at him, give hime plenty of time before you start tracking. If you walk up on him when he is wounded it might get real ugly real fast!!

                      What? You only have one arrow? Wear'em all out.

                        275 to 300 easy. Looks like a hippo in the first picture. Stick an arrow in him.

                          Do you want this guess with or without mud?

                          300ish.

                            Best time to stick him is when he is deep in that mud so therefore he cannot run too far.

                              I think his live weight is over 300 and he'll field dress around 250.
