I'm going up to King City pig hunting day after tomorrow. The biggest one we have taken there was 300lbs. The biggest one I have heard about from someone I trust, did go 600 pounds, up in Mendocino County, California. I always try to take one in the 150 pound class. The meat is usually very good.

Big pig
Hunters shoot and kill 488lb WILD HOG in Texas as part of an 'eradication' to control the 'pig bomb' that's seen a huge influx of the beasts
Joel Dudley, owner of Nuisance Wildlife Removal, and Mike Huckabay shot and killed the 488lb feral hog in The Preserve - formerly known as Cypress Lakes The other six hogs killed each weighed roughly 250lbs Dudley and Huckabay used thermal imaging, nighttime vision scopes to hunt - a method that differs from the popular methods of using traps or dogs. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...adication.html |
And the reason behind this proliferation of feral pigs.................Dr Jack Mayer, a zoologist who has been researching wild pigs for 40 years, told The Daily Beast he blames global warming for increasing the survival rate of newborn piglets and producing more acorns, bulbs, roots and tubers for them to eat.
I think the problem is that they do not shoot enough of them. |

I shot a European Wild Boar for the first time on Saturday.A game farm near where I live breeds them. I have only seen them on one other farm in South Africa. It seemed pretty big to me although I have no idea what the average size in Europe is. This one slaughtered out to 83 Kg. Not very big my American hog standards I guess?

Nice animal Guy !
Remember, the nearly 500lb pigs harvested and described in articles on posts here are the exception - not the rule. Looks like you got a good one. |

Congrats Guy, That's a good hog, figure live wt at 120K(250-260lbs), NICE.. I'm not a spurt, but the hogs in the 50-60K range are generally better eating, with less of a gamey taste. Hogs are omnivores and will eat road-kill and others as caught critters. After 150K, they become a tad chewie and overly flavorful, Kapish? :] |
When I was a kid we had a Yorkshire boar that scaled over 700# when we took him to market. The boars who win the Big Boar Contest at the Iowa State Fair tip the scales in excess of 1100#'s, they make for some big Rocky Mountain Oysters fer sure.
