    Pretty sure that’s a Tacoma so not quite as big as some would be led to believe. Still pretty large.

        This pig is 212. Takes a lot to be a 300 pound pig

              Update on the hog weight question. Since this one, I have killed two more sows with my bow and my FIL shot a monster boar on Thanksgiving night using a thermal scope. Luckily we brought the scale with us and were able to weigh this pig - which is the biggest I have seen in person.

              It was definitely bigger than the one in the OP and it weighed 215 lbs.

              So I now believe the original one was probably 175-190.

              On a side note: the shield on this boar was almost 2" thick!! We tested a broadhead on him and the magnus stinger had no trouble making a full pass through.

                I laugh every time I see people guessing or telling pig weights! I weigh MANY MANY pigs a year and it's comical to see

                It takes a big pig to hit 200, much less 250 or 300. We have killed alot over 250 and a few over 300. All confirmed with a scale

                  Not sure if it helpful but my buddy shot this pig in Medina at the beginning of the year. This guy weighed 322lbs. My bud is 5'10" and ~180lbs.

                    He come out of Sam Houston NF? I've been chasing a very similar looking oinker the last couple weeks.

                      I've started carrying a digital scale, too. I weigh all big pigs as well and I can say, most will fool you. Some are bigger than you think and some are smaller. I can guess within 30 pounds in person but I can't guess with any photo. There's no depth to a 2D image.

                        Great shot on a nice hog OP! Would some of you guys that know pigs give me your estimate on this one? No, I don't know what it weighed, field was too muddy to drive in and there was no way we were going to drag him to the truck. But it's the biggest out of literally hundreds that I've seen killed. And yes, my hunting buddy is right behind the hog, not trying to make him look any bigger. This picture really doesn't even do him justice, he was massive!

                          I think your about right, 200 lb give or take 20 lb either way. Almost looks like he is part javelina with some of that hair color.

                            No. He was from Comanche county
