This one was a tad over 300. sorry no kill pics.
both mostly wild IMO and hard to get them to push over 400 w/o way more domestic.

The biggest WILD hog I have ever seen (confirmed) was 385 and he was absolutely huge! I've been hog hunting for close to 30 years and guiding hog hunts for about 8 years...
Most don't realize what it takes to get to even 300 lbs for a pig. I get a kick out of always hearing and seeing people say "that hog is easily over 300 lbs" or "Every bit of 400 lbs" and it won't break 150-200 lbs. A 200 lb hog is a BIG hog. A 300 lb hog is a MONSTER!! 400 is very far and between and would look like a buffalo.

Originally posted by elkbowhunter View PostTexas is home to an estimated 2 million feral hogs, about 50 percent of all the feral hogs in the U.S. From the panhandle to the Gulf coast, from the arid southwest to the eastern pineywoods, feral hogs may be found in nearly every Texas county.The population and range of feral hogs have expanded dramatically because they are extremely adaptable animals with a high reproductive rate. Relocation by hunters, disease control in domestic animals, the management of rangelands, and habitat improvements made for livestock and wildlife also have helped feral hogs. Hogs are prized by hunters but despised by landowners who suffer from their damage.
LET US STOP THE SUFFERING!!!
I see 2 positives in this
-
1. If the economy gets as bad as some say it will, at least we have a ready supply of meat for us Texans.
2. Bowhunting year round helps keep our skills sharp, and getting rid of bothersome animals, that are not too bad to eat.
WIN/WIN

Seen lots over 300 pounds but only a few over 400 and they were all boars. Randy, I don't want the job of skinning those monsters of yours!!! GOOD JOB putting that man on a huge hog!
