Just got this article on Georgia Outdoor News. A 450 lb hog was killed one county over from me. It’s a big one! https://gon.com/departments/mo...91&mc_eid=0923e33c3c Shoot Safe, Mike NRA Endowment Member | ||

Big one and a different color for sure. I will need to see a scale ticket to believe 450 though! Jam the camera into the pig and put the hunter ten feet behind, always raises questions for me. A 350 pound feral pig is very wide across the back. They can be tall and long but without the width the weight is not there. | |||

I'd like to see some different angles and scale results as well. The photo setup is done via wide angle and in such a way as to exaggerate the foreground by minimizing the size of items in the background. The hog below, which had tremendous girth, would look like a Volkswagon in that same setup. But it only weighed 266.

. From the smile on the hunter's face I would say it was a BIG pig! Exactly how big in terms of Lbs and ounces that's for the scales to show ..... . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||

When my neighbor still ran dogs I hunted with him one night. Under special living conditions for a pig, his dogs caught and he kill a 400 pound sow! We weighed it on a certified scale. I have looked but can not find the pictures. His 6'3" 240 pounds were dwarfed by her side by side, no special camera effects needed! Just saying! | |||

big pig, but with that photo trick, I wouldn't believe any stated weight -- opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round? Case Drawings 416-458-470AR and 500AR. 476AR, http://www.weaponsmith.com | |||

Bobby, that sow almost looks like a beached sea lion. Continue to appreciate your fine taste in hog rifles.  There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

That is amazing how often the weights of the really big pigs in articles and on the web end in a "zero". What are the odds????? The weight of the pig Bobby posted didn't end in a zero - and neither have the vast majority of the pigs I've weighed. Reminds me of the round numbers of the extreme shot distances people brag about.... I haven't been to law school, but I thought the first lesson in lying was to be very specific. | |||

I used to guestomate with the drag method. Plus or minus 25 pounds. Built me a receiver hitch winch and bought a 600 pound crane scale. Now if I can get to them or drag them out it is to the tenth! | |||

From the why the article is written. It could easily be a put and take hog. | |||

Looks to me like a feral Poland China hog. Any other ideas? NRA Life Benefactor Member, DRSS, DWWC, Whittington Center,Android Reloading Ballistics App at http://www.xplat.net/ | |||
