Speakin of big hogs.This is the one John killed a few years ago.Hangs on the wall of the cabin.He is the biggest one ever killed on the ranch.I don`t recall his weight but he is over 300 lbs.Mine is close but this one outweighed him a tad bit.
Extremely nice hog here.Lot of character and color.I don`t think you could ask for a better wall hanger than this one.

He's a monster, no doubt. Give me a 100 pound piggy for cooking anytime, though.
Wonder how many it took to throw him on the truck?

Hey Korey..I dunno bro.The guy caught him with a bunch of pits and currs but he tore a bunch of the guys dogs up.I`ve got the story behind him somewhere in my email.I`ll look and see what the guy cracked him with..
I hear ya Charley.I like them 80- 150 lb sows..Snatch that backstrap,marinate it in GOYA,wrap it in foil with some butter,garlic,a bit of lemon juice and some sliced onion.Man that is good cooked in a pit over mesquite,pecan or live oak...

Ha - that's my big boy in the pick above. I was actually trying to cross paths with a certain buck that evening when I took him. It was pouring freezing rain that night that started about an hour after I got in the field. That SOB came in with no less than five other boars all 200 lb plus. I guess the norther got em up and movin for some grub and water before dark. Anyway, I saw him and knew I had to put him on the wall. Had to take the 165 nosler out of the chamber and replace with a 180 Barnes X HP. One shot to the little honey hole when the neck meets the shoulder and he went down in his tracks.
The rest of that evening I only spoke in "Quint tongue" telling Hooper to turn the boat around the chief to get harpoon ready.

That dude is one ugly hog. I don't know if I could eat something like that. Maybe he'd look better without that urine yellow hair, and that butt ugly face.
Got a nice tooth on him though on the bottom jaw. What are they called those big sharp curved teeth. Are there mainly just the two lowers?
I saw a couple of my uncle's best breeding boars go at in the barn one day passing each other in a tight aisle. One of them had his ham sliced open like a watermellon.
My uncle got so mad he cut those big old curved teeth out of their mouth, unfortunately, I had to help hold the the boars steady with a piece of cable around the snout pulled taut.

Hey wolf kill.Some folks call them tusks..That is the lower teeth.A large boar has a set on top as well.The ones on top are called "whetters" as in like a whetrock for sharpening a knife.
His whetters sharpen the lower teeth that us common folks call "cutters".Every time he opens and closes,the whetters rub against his cutters keeping the cutters sharp.Here is a good pic of both teeth.

Yaaa I was about 14 years old when I saw the ham cut as easy as a piece of lemon pie from one thrust.
It scared me what they can do.

Me too bud.Thats why I carry a 45-70 if I am after big ones...One the size of Johns or mine could seriously hurt ya if he was wounded and mad and still able to move..
I know of only one guy personally that has been cut by a hog.When I was seventeen shotly before I went in the Army ,there was a guy that hunted them with dogs.His dogs ended up tangling with a 330 pound nasty.His dogs were getting handled and cut up by this big hog and he waded in with a 22 magnum rifle.He had a gash about 4 inches long on his calf from it.He told me he shot it twice point blank in the head and the second shot must`ve got into his brain as it ended it.He had two hogs on his wall.That one was a big ole red guy.Pretty mount but a nasty hog.He said he knew there was a bad hog in the place he, caught him after a bunch of dog hunters had reported having numerous dogs killed in a small stretch of property. Sometimes the hog wins.
I am certain that my dog was hog cut here at the house.We live alongside a river with dense woods along it.One day my dog came home limping bad and I went to check her out.She was cut to the bone behind her shoulder.I took her to the Vet afterhours and the vet cut out some tissue that looked to be infected,sewed her up and gave her antibiotics.Ended up costing me over 250 dollars.I have seen a big hog track sporadically around my deer feeder.Never got a glimpse of him yet.Soon as I do,I plan to see if he cut up a 165 sst out of my 300 Win Mag..

When I lived in La I was in a hunting camp and we had a hog there everyone refused to shoot just too damn big to get out if you did kill her. We called her maw hog and everyone in the camp could have killed her but she was so big you would kill yourself trying to get her out of the woods. I would have estimated her well over 600 lbs. Everyone in the camp passed her up for shooting those 100 lbers that eat good shes prob still there makin bacon. but her offspring sure ate good.

The last issue of Lone Star Outdoor News weekly had a picture of a 1100lb hog from, I believe, Huntsville ,Al, I noticed the article as I live close to Huntsville, TX.
Article said it was shot in a neighbor's yard, had to be loaded on a 1 ton by a backhoe and was weighed at a truck scale by weighing the truck with and without pig.
Anyone else subscribe to Lone Star Outdoor News?
