The beast was taken in April by a family that my Partner Jeff Hurley and I guided on our Bakersfield ranch. Everyone in the family, all 4 of them, which was 3 generations.
The boy, Robert, shot that beast, while resting off the bed rail of my truck as it was wondering down the road through the pastures. It was through the heart at 125-150 yds.
Grandpa, Father, Sisiter and Brother all harvested pigs. It was a busy day skinning pigs to say the least. At the butcher shop it weighed just over 200 lbs on the hook.

Lurediver. Are you talking about this beast or the Oreo?
The oreo has caused my ALOT of grief onthis website. It seems that there is a stigma associated with those not connected to certain circles, to take a pig over 700 lbs.
That exact same type of pig, size, color,theworks, is featured in the last month's issue of Hog Hunter magazine. Taken by a well know guide and client.
It's tusks were broken off unlike the one in the mag, but, I have taken a beating over that pig none the less.
And yes, it has cross domestic blood in it. How many pigs in the wild, are still, PURELY Russian or European?
That are the originals from the early settlers of the early 1800's

Pig Guide,
That banded pig in Ca Hog Hunter had large floppy ears,level rump and shoulders and short snout.No doubt largely domestic. I took a banded Boar that had long snout,small ears was higher in the shoulders than in the rump. Same color two different pigs . Still a trophy to me.

My website has it all. Our Bakersfield ranch is 54,000 acres and we never over hunt it. We do Sheep-4 species, Buffalo, Bear, Deer, etc.

Yep, that pig sure has some "domestic" in it....but thats far from PigGuides fault, if it walked by me, i'd give it an all expense paid trip to Sacramento.
Nice looking hogs! But i really want a 4-horned.

Pig guide, nice hogs.
And dont let them arm chair hunters give you no greif about pure or unpure hogs. I have been hunting hogs since I was 14 and am now 33 , in just about every part of the state that has em. And if you want a pure russian hog go to russia . Or take whatever color you get. I have killed boars that were white with polka dots (literally) that cut up three of my dogs and had three and a half inches of teeth. I'll post pictures later. And if you call him tame you can try to pet him.

Dundee, I don't consider myself a "air chair hunter" or anyone else on this thread! I was just wondering about the pig because I haven't seen or heard about a 500 lb. pig coming out of California! With your hunting experiences, have you seen a pig that big come out of California? Would this be a state record? Thanks

Hey Lurediver,
I have one on my place that will be very close to 500#.
I have seen it following a doe and a fawn, It looked like it was hunting the fawn!
I've had a couple of friends see him, and my bro in-law and a bubby tryed to stick him but missed. The tracks are the size cows there huge!!
One of these days I hope to put an arrow in him, but he's always in the thick stuff or right next to it never giving up the shot...The head on him is over two feet long!

There are 2 pigs that we have been trying to kill on my Lompoc ranch now for 2 plus years. 1 over 400 and the other at 300 yds without my glasses on, had a minimum of 3 plus inches and was every bit of 500 lbs.
I have 3 witnesses to that pig. I had a 12 year old and his parents on a Deer hunt last year when he came by with his women. 4 sows were with him. Coming straight to the beans.
To this day.....he no git' um shot.
I have a sow and her little snadich sized piglets running between field 1 and 2 with her tracks, we estimate her to be well over 275-300 lbs. She left hoof prints along with her dew claw prints in the powdered dirt parking area.
