Holy, err, PIG!  That's a big un!  Where was this shot at?  The biggest I have seen on the land I hunt is maybe 275#.  Should we assume this was slain with one of your bows?

Cheers!

I don't have all the details as I was not there but....

Private land.  48# bow with a 2 blade broadhead.  Hit em' pretty far back in the hams.  He gave him about a hour until he followed the blood trail.  TONS of blood. The pig ran about 200 yards then bedded down, bled out and died.  Ended up that he hit him in the artery.

Wish I had more.     :thumbsup:

I'm guessing something like that would taste like shoe leather?

350+ starts at the point where you can no longer get your arms around the chest-just as a rough measure; so that first one that Tenbrook posted is over 350 I would estimate.

What part of NorCal? It is pretty unusual to see boars that big up here. Central CA produces more big-bodied hogs in my experience. Those are some legitimate monsters!
