Ummmm-

Looks like he is right under the feeder, just to the right of the fence!

Looks like a job for my 50 Alaskan Encore pistol - LOL

What a massive hog!

That big boy looks like a domestic-gone-feral Hog.......he has the extreme excess of fat like a domestic but starting to develop the razorback as seen on the wild ones.....

Awesome piece of pork!

WHAT A HOG !!!!! I want to see the next set of photos where someone has shot and weighed it. Nice pics.

Skunk · « **Reply #7 on:** September 26, 2009, 10:44:44 AM »

Wow, that is a big old hog. Looks like ran from the Razorback's offensive line right to the feeder.

Im jealous. Wish we had those here in Ohio.
Bang out goes the lite.

What a hog!

Zeeks,

You just wish you had something to hunt all year long.

Take it from us, if you don't have hogs, you DON'T want them. They run off the deer, root up the ground so bad that you will be afraid to drive your tractor over that broken ground, eat EVERYTHING - snakes and all, disturb turkeys, quail, grouse, phesants, etc., can carry human transmittable diseases, and are just bad tempered.

I wish the deer here were as full bodied as yours.

I've watched hogs run deer and small game off the food plots and away from the feeders. Hogs can ruin a pond. When we bought one of our places in 2001 there were no hogs near the place. Now there hogs everywhere. Despite the trapping and shooting, they just keep on coming. Now they are getting harder to trap and hunt.

Holy mother of god. That thing looks like it would feed a family of 6 for a year

Reverend Recoil · « **Reply #12 on:** September 28, 2009, 04:21:50 AM »

That pig would make quite a number of footballs. Who ever shoots him should send the hide to Wilson. He might make to the next Super Bowl.

S_J_KENNELS · « **Reply #13 on:** September 28, 2009, 04:44:33 AM »

You can have that big hog. I aint sure it would taste all that great LOL.

I would have to agee with gstewart44. That is more then likely a domestic hog that was turned loose when the farmer could not afford to feed it any more LOL.

lots of bacon

Somewhere some old blind farmer is wondering where his "lil" piggie went.......

Zeeks · « **Reply #16 on:** October 02, 2009, 02:12:58 PM »

HAHA I shot one like that last year. Backstraps and sausage was fantastic, the rest I gave away. No bacon on wild boar thou. Have that little piggy run thru the woods and brush piles and see how much fun he is to catch. Especially for a old fart like me.

That is why they have Quads, stands and corn feeders for OF's like us.

In southern MN we have a whole lot of domestic hogs, and I have never seen anything that looks like that thing. Domestic gone wild? I don't think so. Maybe a cross between a domestic and a Europpean but definitley not a pure domestic for many generations.

They should slap an NFL jersey on him and train it to be an offensive right tackle.

billy_56081 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 04, 2009, 07:06:31 AM »

And looking close at the pics it appearsthat he has tusks. A domestic hog would have had them removed.

You go in there on a Quad you will never see that hog or most likely any other hog. They are considerable smarter and wilder than a deer.

Exactly. Notice the photo is at night. We often notice many does and small deer behind our building in south Austin since there is several hundred acres of land that has never been developed. Even seen a few decent bucks. But since most of our surveillance equipment allow night time viewing we encountered, by complete accident, a buck crossing our back parking lot that was much, much, much bigger than any deer that should have inhabited this part of Texas. Almost disproportionate to the area, but he lives there. A bona-fide nightowl and grew big because of it. I imagine hogs do the same.

Dee · « **Reply #24 on:** October 04, 2009, 07:56:38 AM »

Yes they do Mohawk. True feral hogs are for the most part nocturnal. Or die very young (and small),

I might go get my Uncle's 450 for him put one right between his eyes

Zeeks · « **Reply #26 on:** January 01, 2010, 03:59:52 PM »

Sounds just my deer huntin here in Ohio. Nice pics on the cameras but where are they during the legal time to hunt.

Cheesehead · « **Reply #27 on:** January 01, 2010, 05:05:31 PM »

That hog needs killin, before he hurts someone. 45/70 minimum.

Cheese

Dee · « **Reply #28 on:** January 02, 2010, 02:41:47 AM »

Hell, a hog ain't hard to kill. A 223 to the neck will drop him on the tracks he's standin in. Looks like a pen fed feral to me.
The photos don't show if he still has his junk, but by the looks of his fat, and build, I'm bettin he's been cut, and fed out before he was turned loose.
They love doing that on canned hunt ranches. My oldest boy paid $500.00 for a canned hunt when he was livin in Pennsylvania, only to find that the "boar" he shot was actually a "barrow". He was big no doubt, but he wasn't going anywhere. He was in a fence and gettin fed. He looked fierce but, he's fierceness had long since been removed. The game ranch wanted big, and big ain't easy to get when their chasin sows.
I told him next time just come home, and he could kill a REAL feral hog, it wouldn't cost him anything, and the farmers would thank him.

I bet that barred boar was good eating though. I've heard that some places they trap the little hogs annd cut off the tails when they casterate them then release em. Hog with no tail = good eating. One reason they cut them in the high fence places is that after they are cut they don't fight as much and don't break the tusks off. I have hunted free range hogs on the King Ranch and also on some large high fence places, the King Ranch hogs were easy, the high fence ones had been hunts alot and were pretty smart.
