Had a friend come get this one. Too nice a sow to let the Buzzards and Coyotes have.

I hang them to weigh them after "taping" them to confirm the weight of any hog I judge to be over 200 lbs.

This Fat Girl was 225 lbs (yes I have the pics of tape and scale). Not the largest sow we've ever killed out here by a long shot...but a nice one for someone's freezer.

This Sow wasn't particularly long....just Roly-Poly fat.

Nice looking sow. I took a couple hunting last weekend and the wife shot a 180 lb sow and he got a 100 lb boar.
The sow was a perfect eating size hog. She used a 55 gr barnes in her 556 and it destroyed the front sholders on the sow.
He used his 458 Socom with a 300 gr rem. And there was no exit wound. I think the bullet must have fragged. Both hogs were
DRT.

No, not a lot. Most of my hogs moved once the acorns fell and all the deer feeders got filled up. The hogs I do have dont
even know how to work a pig pipe. One thing about hogs, they will be back. We have rain in the forcast so I should see some
hog movement soon. I have pics of a boar that wieghs over 250 lbs.. I think he may come down with a copper infection soon

I hear that can be fatal! Especially the TTSX strain of it.

dang lap-top got a mind of it's own... what u calling a pig pipe? have taken a piece of pvc pipe bout foot in length but caps on both ends with holes cut in the side an filled with corn so deer could roll an corn spill out... it someting like that? hog's here been rotting up then move out anback again.. have tried some of that hog stuff, poored in where they had tore-up, but think it was too late they had already moved out cause they never bothered it.... been thinking about hiitting wma land with bow... after the rain tis usualy good can see the fresher hog sign...
