Shot a few more this evening. Back at blind 7. 7 little ones came out and then mama. While I was trying to get a shot a good size boar came out. Popped him in the head and he flopped on his back with legs kicking straight up. I pre-decided to shoot at little ones after one shot at big one. He ran off by the time I went to drag him off which saved me some fleas and work. I guessed him at 130-140
I then walked to #1 stand and this guy walked out. Didn't guess his weight as it happened fast. Once I drove up to him I guessed 180-190.

I've killed a pile of hogs but only 2 they weighted over 300.. the biggest was dang near 7 ft long from nose to tail.. I've cleaned and eaten several large boars.. if they are running by themselves they usually don't taste gamey. You can tell when you walk up to them.. the ones that seem to be the worst are the 70 to 120ish lb boars that are running in a pack.. I've even had gamey sows.. a bred sow is better than whitetail imo...
