I think they had a nuclear power plant meltdown in Santa Barbara recently. Either that or those hogs grew up on a pot farm and have the munchies real bad.

They don't grow them like that in Georgia/S Carolina too often!

a pretty big one- with the hero right up against the hog  467# on certified scales so if that is the weight of this pig, you know those CA behemoths are much larger.

 

another pretty big one- maybe 350#, again with the hero up against the pig, not sitting back

 

The only other place I have seen pigs like those California monsters is from Iran...they have pigs like that consistently get taken..like this one. My wife is from there, and I dream of the day I can visit her homeland and take hogs and different species of sheep and ibex with my bow!

 

Beachie, you should be inviting ME to California!!!! After you get the gate combo on that ranch, that is!

I'm surprised there'd even BE hogs in a Muslim country. As much as pork is a no no.... That is one big hog! In Iran, do they shoot them and leave them I guess?

Ray, you might check into Turkey.  They have the same huge hogs as in Iran, there are some good outfitters/guides, and it's politically stable (so far).  There's also hunting for brown bears, wolves, ibex, and some other different beasties.

actually, that's probably the reason they get so big is they don't get hassled for meat, you know?

Plus, they are the russian variety of hog, which is already a larger version anyway...Iran is close to Russia and some of its mountain chains enter the northern part of Iran.

Iran is very different than most westerners believe. They are the only people living in the middle east who are NOT Arabs(except for Israelis of course)There are many Christians and Jews living inside Iran as well, which always seems to be a big surprise to most Westerners.(My wife is a Christian-she and her family fled when the Shah of Iran became ill and the Ayatollah returned from exile in France)

Iran in the 50's and 60's was a hunter's mecca with many varieties of wild sheep- many differnt species of ibex- wild boar- bears- I even remember reading they had one of the big cat varieties there. I remember reading Sports Afield and Outdoor Life and seeing guys like Jack O'Connor going to Iran to hunt persian ibex, bezor ibex, and five or six varieties of wild sheep- mostly mountain hunting in the extreme.

it is nice to see the hunters sitting directly behind the animal - not standing back to distort the true size of it.   :scared:

I hunted boar in Turkey when I was stationed there 90-92. We used rifled slugs in shotguns. We would take a Turkish friend up to a mountain village and all the old guys at the coffee house would grab thier ancient single shots and double barrels and a pack of mangy cur dogs and we would set off in wagons pulled by tractors. The dogs would run the boars and we would be stationed on ridge tops and passes waiting. Never got to connect on one but it was hard hunting and a lot of fun. The old men would be running up and down the mountains like billie goats with us Americans huffing and puffing to keep up. The Turks are great folks and very friendly. Just have to remember they are as proud of being Turks as we are of being Americans.
