Been hunting hogs for 27 yrs my biggest was 265 lb ,I seen one I would guess 300 lb range he was a monster, anything over 180 lb is a really good pig. I'm like you guys all these guys say they shoot these 400 to 500 lb hog that really weigh 180 when we put them on the scale lol

Sure, those are some nice picture of what appear to be some big pigs. My question is why do we always hear of and see pictures of these supposedly 300-400 pound pigs without them hanging from a scale? Saw one picture in this entire thread that had a scale but could not read it. I have killed some very large pigs that one would claim to be 300-400 pounds. But, the reality was that the scale read otherwise.

I was entered in Los Caz and didn't want to make the drive if I couldn't place. I couldn't so didn't.
She no doubt had at least 50 pounds of guts and organs (and blood) making her 300+ on the hoof. Probably 325-350.

I have hunted them for years, from the Rolling Plains to the Rio Grande, and I have never seen one that weighed more than 210 pounds. That hog, BTW, was said to weigh 300# -- until we actually weighed it.

Myself, my brother and another guy saw another sow on the place at about 15 yards (no shot )that looked like this:
but was a full grown hog. This pic is of a potbellied pig.
I would say she was easily 400 pounds (once again, take my word for it).
Like I mentioned in a previous post on this thread, they get a lot to eat.
