Hog experts' opinions needed.

oh he's definately 200 plus. probly more like three though. Just look at his proportionment. Hogs filled out that way are usually more mature boars therfore going over a healthy 200 easy.

If the Down Spout on the feeder is made from 4"pipe then I have him between 20-23" tall at the front shoulder.

sqiggy- you sound like a guy that has put some hogs on a scale! its amazing how they will fool you. i think you should guess what you think they weigh and then reduce that by 1/3. and you will be close most of the time. jmo.

I got about the same, 20-22" deep at the chest. He is a well built pig but all things considered, I have him at 225 - 250 MAX

Ill try to remember to take some pictures this weekend for posting. I have some pigs that you will swear are 350-400lb and they are all under 300.....

[dhays]

I have 2 hogs in my pen right now that are in the 300 lb range. One weighs 302 the other 296. I buy them buy the pound, so I weigh them when they are brought in. You can't tell for sure by the picture, but I would bet that this hog weighs at least 250, and probably close to 300. Don't know if I would be an expert on the subject, but I deal with them every day. That,s how I make my living. MY .2 cents worth.

[duck or bleed]

From my experience, those down spouts on protien feeders are usally around 33-36 inches off the ground. Judging by that, I'd say he has a good shot at hitting the 200 lb mark, but not much over if any.

Heck Taxi! That hog is nearly as tall as you! LOL!

Kevin, I hate guessing on hog weight but I would say that hog weighs around the 250 mark. I have only seen one hog in person that weighed over 300, which he bottomed out a cotton scale, and it filled up a truck bed. This guy may push 300, but I would bet closer to 250. I have an idea, go shoot it and let us know.

Well, this past Feb, a couple of hogs were killed from our group. The biggest right at 275. I promise you, he was twice as big as the one in the pic.
As far as judging him with the feeder, you can't. Who knows high it is from the ground up. Besides, he's up to his belly in mud anyway. He's a good hog for sure. And a solid one at that. But 300 lbs!!! A 8 month old calf can weigh 400 lbs and 50 in high. That's over twice the height some are saying about the hog. 2 years ago I shot a 230 lb deer. I thought that Kansas deer was huge. 2 days later, another guy in camp shot one that went 300 lbs. Made my deer look like a yearling. Just comparing those 2 in my head with that pic, naaaaaaahhhh!!

I just talked to my buddy that sent me the picture. He said that with the mud, when the deer are eating out of the feeder, they have to stretch their necks up to get to the spouts.

He said on dry ground, the spouts are above his waist ... and yes, he's taller than me ... somewhere around 6'-3".

[double lung]

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!

are you freaking serious?
i sit here and watch people mutilate scores and weight, but 180-190#.
wow.

[venado]

Those of you that are saying around 300#, are you talking live weight??

I've noticed that 300# field dressed will usually win a jacket at Los Cazadores. This one killed on my place did and it only weighed 255# FD.

[Texastaxi]

Those of you that are saying around 300#, are you talking live weight??

Yeah, live weight.

I guess I should have clarified, but I always score stuff with what the good Lord gave em'! Yo no hablo net score or field dressed weight!
