The first hog I shot was gutted and skinned before anyone thought of weighing it. The scales on hand went to 240 lbs., and it pegged them. It was the biggest of a group of about 30 that were grazing on boot-top high wheat. We estimated it at 300 lbs. I have seen a couple that were bigger looking, but havent taken a bigger one yet. Most of the ones on the river are larger than the ones in dry areas, but nothing is chisled in stone.

I have to agree with Gatogordo and NE 450 No2 that I can tell no diffence in taste of the big ones. If not processed properly you can definitely tell a difference, but sizedoesnt seem to matter, (thats what I keep telling my wife). My hunting buddy swears that the big ones taste best. I am not sure about that, but I cant taste a difference if properly dressed.

Good luck and good shooting,
