Gregg, don't sell yourself short. That's a heckuva hog, especially on public land.
A fella could hunt awhile and not get one over 150#.
Nice shot too.

I hate to burst Greg's bubble....but we ain't inviting him back.  I think everyone that wasn't from Georgia killed something - made us TBG'ers look like a bunch of bumbling nincompoops....and who needs that?  LOL.  As always one of the best attended TBG hunts.  Good people, good food, good stumping and good swamps.  Hard to beat!  And, reluctantly, congrats to the Florida boy for a great porker!

That has to be 167 pounds field dressed. I would bet on that hog going over 225 live weight.

This hog in the picture was 160 lbs field dressed..and we suspect at 225 on the hoof, if that's any help. It was weighed on accurate scales, cause I weighed myself at the doctor the other day and when I checked this scale it was within a couple pounds of the same number.

There's no trick photography- the hunter, Andy Lupher, is sitting directly behind the hog, with his hand and bow resting on teh pig, so there isn't a perspective issue.
 


Greg, any pig on public land taken fair chase is an awesome trophy, and yours is no exception.

Congrats on the nice piggies!  It is very interesting to look at these eastern swamp rooters. They look quite different than the hogs we have in CA. First off, they actually have a rear end. Ours are all front loaded, lots of FOC! Forget about getting any hams off of them. I think it is the steep hills. Also, yours have a full hide of hair. Ours are mostly  pretty scraggly because it can be dry. But to me, they're all beautiful  :goldtooth:

Our sows are "barrel" shaped. If you see one of our hogs and they look the same end to end, its a girlie.

If it looks big up front, with no 'assatol' its a boy!!!
