[QUOTE="djones, post: 821711, member: 39567"] i'm hunting in the texas panhandle area, wherever i can find them. helicopters have taken their toll here too. it's hard for hogs to escape the chopper. if the pilot can drive them out of cover the whole herd gets wiped out. funny you mention the weight of hogs. the pair in the previous pic aren't that big. probably not much over 100lbs, but i really don’t know. the single was hard to move around, but i'm old now and they all feel heavy to me! positioning the camera close to the ground and close to the hogs makes them look a lot bigger, especially if you squat down behind them. friends tease me lot about sitting too far behind them :D, so now i put the rifle in front of the hogs to prove i'm not that far back. once i weighed a hog that looked A LOT bigger than me on certified scales. he only weighed 175lbs. I couldn't believe it. i got some game scales and weighed a few after that. i ALWAYS guessed too heavy. they were big, but not as big as i thought. the scales didn't last very long bouncing around in the truck, but here are pics of some of the hogs i weighed.
