Got him on camera one time only. PVC is almost 6' long and "T" post is at least 5' above ground.

Mature boar. Might make 200.

He is a full feral hog no domestic hog left in him. A really big feral hog will be 275-325. I would put him in that range. If they are bar hogs they get bigger but he clearly has his nuts.

I cannot see his cutters but he is a trophy hog.

Let's see, the PVC pipe is some amount shorter than 6', is at an angle to the hog, can't be fully seen, and is quite a distance from the hog. The hog is located uphill from the 5+ foot T-post, some distance behind and away from it.

In short, your two objects you are referencing for scale are not very useful for this picture. Your nearly 6' PVC pipe appears shorter than your 5+ foot T-post.

You got a mature looking boar there. Shoot it and tell us how big it is.

Other issue too is the hog could look bigger if he has his hair on edge to create a warmer body, given the temp
Is listed at 70, it hasn't been cool like that since spring...

Looks big, will go over 200 most likely but don't think he is giant

I think he's bigger then people are saying he's away and past the t post. His body is close to 5 foot long. Means he'd fill a tail gate. I'd say 220 to 260 ish

Looks about 250 to me. They are very dense animals and always seem to be heavier that you would think.

Good luck weight aside he's a great one to hunt. I hope he's not stinky so you have some pork

I would be very surprised if he doesn't weigh at least 225! Probably a tad more.

My guess would be 250-300 but what's 50lb give or take. He's still big.
