Hey Easy,

No disrespect taken or directed... we're all having fun here.

For my own part, I'm not sure that hog goes 250# either. It might, but there's absolutely nothing in that pic (that I can see) to argue one way or another. The cajones are definitely hanging, although I have seen some drop lower.

As to the teeth, here's my Tejon hog from June.

I can only tell you that it hit the scales sans skin, fat, guts, and most of his head at 170#. Based on the other two big hogs killed that weekend, I'm pretty sure he went well over 250# before I cut him up to get out of the hole. How much tooth do you see in this pic? Can you see his cajones?


Two other hogs that were at least as large as mine also had very small teeth.

I'll add that I've seen pics of 150 lbers with 3"-4" tusks. Teeth are just not a very good way to judge a hog's size.

I know you do your best to deal with what you have to deal with.

Eiher way I'm guessing, and I emphasize guessing around #225. But I guess none of us will know who is truly right till Ridgewalker gets off his butt and goes and kills the dam thing. And don't give me this "he's to big garbage". Big pigs need lovin to ya know.

The other day when we caught the 200lber, (I wrote about it on here 'Hunt #2') we thought it was neutered at first. Even looking at it close up and dead on the ground. I would not judge a hogs size by the way its balls hang. This hog was BIG, I couldn't even carry it, good thing 2 of the people that came hunting with us were a lot bigger than me and weigh close to the hog. But yeah, the hog was big and its balls were small.
