Next time instead of all the “scale “ references just put a measuring tape on it. Maybe measure the girth while you’re at it.
The fact that’s it’s dead is all that matters to me.
I know after you add just a 50gain weighted bullet they gain #40-#50 lbs, when you start to drag 'em. Hog Physics

A little rebuttal for all the Negative Nancies on here:
[mention]Slick8 [/mention] pretty much hit the nail on the head with his assessment.
This was trapped at my work, a new development north of Houston, whom we convinced to purchase traps/ scope for us to assist with the hog problem. Rules are that we have to shoot between dusk and dawn (hints the thermal scope) and firearm has to be suppressed. Doesn’t matter if I’m using the quiets subsonic known to man, has to be suppressed no if’s, ands, or buts.
Typically, we use the lights of the Polaris and take headshots with a suppressed Ruger 22/45. I don’t have any other suppressed handguns.
Wanted to do a euro on this one so didn’t want to mess with any damage to the skull. Wasn’t too keen on the idea of .22 body shots on pig like this, therefor I brought in the 5.56 from the bullpen.
Scope is a Pulsar Thermion XP50. Shot at lowest magnification/ digital zoom (2x) so yes shooting in the trap was no problem.
[mention]Fishndude [/mention] absolutely caught in trapped, shot in trap (not even by me), and posed with it. Why? Because I’m an opportunist and the huntresses viewing my IG and bumble accounts will never know! Also, it’s the biggest pig I have ever seen, so there’s that too.
Going to measure when I get into work tomorrow. Hopefully with the head off I won’t have to worry about gas build up to throw off the measurement.

Well..... I've just never seen it and wouldn't do it myself. I'd dang sure take apic of the big sucker, but not pose with it. To each their own I guess. Seems like there were other folks before me you can ask the same thing. Maybe they can answer your question in better detail.
