Holy S#IT pdk25!! Can I come hunt with you?!!!

Pdk25, where are all those monsters from? Oklahoma?

pdk25 · July 19, 2019, 12:54:37 AM

Most of them are. 4 are from Texas. I wish I had taken pictures of more of the big ones, but sometimes you are just to dang tired to deal with pics when you hunt at night.

Great hogs all!

Them some monsters, and Jerry just how many bears at your camp would out weigh Kong?

We have shot a few bears in the Kong sized category but that hog truly was a giant. Guesstimations on hog weights usually are about 25-40 % higher than actual weights. He was weighed at 507 and in 45+ years of hunting hogs, I have never seen a hog that would be within 100 pounds of him. That includes tens of thousands of trail cam pictures.
I do have another red monster I am after on one of my hog properties right now. One of my hunters had him very close last year.
These true monster hogs are like hunting ghosts.

The story of Kong is one GREAT read ....

Every tradbowhunter should read it.....twice!!!

Some really nice pigs pdk25. But the fact that you're 6'8" from eating so much pork makes those pigs smaller than they appear.

My little 200 lb just doen't make it here.

blacktailbob · July 19, 2019, 07:48:41 AM

Got that completely backwards. You're only 5' tall making them appear bigger.
Of course if you ARE 6'8"...thems some really big piggys.

Too early. Coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

This thread I'm LOVING!!!!..and thanks for no 'King' pics! (those pics where the hunter blatantly tries to hide the fact that he's 10 to 15 feet behind the hog making his quarry appear to be bigger).

Keep em coming guys!!!

Somewhere in the middle. Close to 6'2. Wish that my weight stayed as stable as that does, lol. The smallest in the group weighed 188, but he had no fat on him. That is the black boar shot at Lincoln Ranch, 2 days before I shot the spotted boar that scaled 220#, which is the second smallest one pictured. The one hanging from the tractor is over 300#, but I can't remember the exact weight. The one next to the German Shepherd is the largest. He bottomed out a 330# scale and a 70# scale ganged together, so I don't know the exact weight. I have shot 2 others that scaled over 300#, but lost pics when I drowned a phone.

Certainly have never shot, or seen, one even approaching the size of the monster named Kong that Jerry shot.

There are still some guys that I haven't been able to get yet, like this no-neck bugger. I stalked up to 20 yards from him one night along a lane with a favorable wind, but I couldn't get any closer. It was the craziest thing. He was literall tossing other smaller 75-100# pigs over 5 yards in the air in my direction, and then they would scramble into the brush in front of me. Probably happened 3 or 4 times. I felt the wind shift, he stiffened, so I took a quick shot, but he was gone by the time the arrow got there. Haven't seen him again since.

And unfortunately, I hit this one far back and didn't find find him for quite awhile after he died. He was actually quite a bit larger than he looks at the time the pic was taken.
