EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Ok, I need to know what type of scales you all are using.  I know what I use, however, it must not even be close to working correctly.  Please supply pics, brand names, model #'s, or whatever type of information so that I can find these real weight scales.  Thank you in advance.

I found some on ebay that are digital and weigh up to 440 lb for $68.
Check yours with gal of water, a gal of water weighs 8 lb, try with 1 gal then with 5. This will tell you how much they are off, most have an adjustment to cal them.

We've always used the Moultries that go up to 440#'s... calibrate before each use and it's always been accurate.

Not being an expert on calibrating scales, but can you make the scale show the weight of a gallon of water as 8 pounds?  because, not trying to be a pain, but generally one can say that a pound of water weighs about 8 pounds, but the scientist in me knows that a gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds....That being said, I am just trying to learn (scale calibration) here, so in case you were going to account for that, I will just shut up and watch what is posted... :-*

Never claimed to be a "scientist", if I was I prob wouldnt be hog hunting, just stating what I was learnt.
I doubt .34 of a lb on a scale that does not have to be certified wouldnt matter, but if that matters then go get it certified.

Sorry, I wasn't calling you out...I meant I was the scientist and yes I hunt hogs....It isn't a tremendous amount of difference, but would be off 15-20 pounds on a 400-500 pound hog...sorry if you took offense, none was meant.. I just thought we might as well be as accurate as possible..I meant if you can calibrate the scale to say that a gallon of water is 8 pounds then you wouldn't have a problem and the scale would be accurate...

Come on now, now one is going to tell me where to get the real deal scales.

Whatever dawson no big deal.
