How much do you think this pig weighs ?

CaliJeephunter, the second picture was seconds apart from the first, and I know because I took the pictures. The hunter was always right next to the pig and he never moved. There was no repositioning to make the pig look bigger! These pictures were never intended to be posted because there are always some extra comments besides the usual congratulations. That’s why I don’t post pictures anymore, but I will make an exception this time. The hunter’s cousin posted them because he was a disbeliever himself and knows better. This pig was the hunter’s first trophy game animal and yes, it was 300lb. I can say this from being there and having killed game animals over 300lb for comparison. Three people had a hard time moving this pig upright for the pictures and it had to be quartered and two packing trips to get him out. I weigh 255lb and I (right)am holding the pig’s ear for balancing. Check out the girth of the pig compared to mine. By the way the pig's midsection was in a shallow pit to keep him upright and his cape had thining hair like our local bears in summer or ele he would look bigger.

Cazador, I wasn't taking anything away from that pig. It's a big pig. It just looked like the guy was behind the pig a little bit in that first picture (and i'm not the only one who thought that apparently). Which is why I made that statement. If he wasn't then i'll take your word for it. Sorry for the confusion.

Cazador, i had no doubt that the position of the hunter and hog for the photo setup was not taken to make it look larger, like i first mentoined in my first post "look at the size of the head and snout". i have been in the company of way larger wild euro's and ferels hogs while hunting and have seen wild hogs with heads twice that size belive it or not that look like battle ships on stilts or cows with miniture legs, i get distrought sometimes over my missed bowhunting opportuneities at trophy hogs i have encounted. butt one thing for sure knowing whats out there now in the woods if its privite or public has me always excited to be bowhunting a large wild dangerous game animal of that caliber and size for sure. have a great day!....tra

CARNITAS!!!

I would be seriously surprised if the hog goes over 200#. Those hogs with those dished extended heads can appear much larger than they actually are. The only way we'll truly know is if it were put on a scale.

funny how people assume things before knowing the facts... 1st of all i never once disbelieved the weight on my cousins pig... 2nd i made sure i asked my cousin 1st if it was ok to post the pic of his trophy pig... wich he had no problem in me doing so... people need to be a lil more open-minded and not get their feelings hurt right away...

It is hard to get a wild hog to reach the 30 lb range. Without having a good idea of how close the guys in the picture are to the hog I would estimate 200-225. Anyway it is a nice hog.
