500 pound hogs

I been hunting hogs since the early 1980's and we have caught some at 330 to 350 pounds and 200 pounders on a regular basis through my best years...

I have heard of 2 big hogs seen on a regular basis, one in Karnes City and one in Bloomington and both not too far from Victoria, Texas... and...I saw one that must of weighed at least 700 pounds maybe more come out of a maize field and he just reminded me of a rhino running out of that field...he was solid red and thick yet not a fat hog...probably between 7-8 foot long...he was running crouched down because he knew he was to tall to run around in the weeds...that is what I saw...3 other guys were hunting with me and they saw the same hog and they didn't think any thing about it...I was in awe and had to walk back and look for the tracks and his tracks were like those of a 800 pound steer...if I had seen those tracks without seeing the hog I would have thought it was a steer track...this was at the O'Connor ranch outside Victoria...So I will say one day someone will kill one of that size in that part of the country...but I don't think it will be with dogs and it will be in a remote place and probably at night time...

In Brazoria county I have seen some big tracks and sometimes in places where I least expected to see these hog tracks but sometimes the big boars hang out in such places to stay away from the dogs...but those large tracks have been less than half of the size of tracks I saw at the O'Connor ranch...this is no doubt in my mind that they are there because I saw one...
