Friend of mine knifed one with dogs that scaled just a few pounds shy of that one down here a few years ago, nothing domestic about him. Just a monster boar feeding in the corn fields every night. 2'nd largest pig I've ever seen (Biggest came off the O'Conner Ranch, cowboys roped him and drug him to death with horses). My buddy had that one shoulder mounted. His Dad (now retired Game Warden friend of mine) confirmed the weight.

Lots of legit 300-350 lb'rs come out of the corn fields.

seems like something fishy on that top hog, I've been following the progress on their FB page and it sounded like that same team was reprimanded last year for solicitation violation. Polygraph should tell the tale in the end.

I've literally killed thousands of feral hogs over the last 55+ years and anything over 250# is big, anything over 300# is uncommon, anything over 350# is very unique and rare, anything over 400# you better check your scale eeks333

I have a friend that has gotten big into hog hunting using thermal, kept bragging on all these 400+ monsters he was killing out of the corn fields around Lake Granger ... I told him he needs to buy a scale and start weighing them instead of just guessing. He gained a whole new respect for the weight of a hog's actual weight after getting that scale.

Yep, once you start scaling pigs it's amazing to see just how far off most people are. It's also a good way to get good at guessing weights, just like getting in the habit of guessing distance and then stepping it off. Good practice.

There was talk on this thread and others about the 1st place team and cheating. They all passed their polygraph tests. Hats off to them! Looks like I’m stuck in 5th. Would have been nice to move up. grin
