218 BeeI've never have been worth a damn estimating weight on the hoof and ain't too proud to admit it. I also have no idea how big the average Hong Kong dumpster is!
I will opine that he's big enough in my book to keep him above my self-imposed-and-occasionally-violated ".30 caliber" line (which is only of importance to yours truly).
One like this would be a load of fun inside 50 yards with a double or a big lever action. That said, I've got enough hogs to contend with around here...so I won't be packing for Hong Kong hog hunt anytime soon...
Thanks for the link!

CrazyhorseconsultingI will not even make a guess as to that bastards weight, but if looking at something like that at a feeder, a .458 Win Mag would be a realistic choice as a firearm!
Even the rocks don't last forever.

Harold R. StephensThose are trash carts not dumpsters and are about 40" tall. Still a big pig no matter how you stack it.

twobobbwanaMy guess is 300lbs on the hoof.
He's certainly got lots of girth and length.
A 158gn JHP from a .357 mag pistol behind the shoulder would have him down in 30 yards or less.

Live OakI don't think he is all that big. Feet just aren't big enough. 300 lbs pig has big feet! Camera position or maybe the way it is blown up.

customboltMedium sized Russian would be my guess.
More internet fluff here?
Excerpt - The footage shows the boar trying to pull a black garbage bag out of the can while his piglets stand guard.
Top of dumpster appears to be closed and roped down. Bags are laying on top.
Look like young adults, not piglets?
Do young adult hogs ''stand guard'' ready to squeal if the cops come?
