500 lb hog

Hogs just don't get that big here, around close to home. There isn't a whole lot of boars that break 250, and when you catch one in the 300-350 range it is really rare. Since I could miss a chicken by 20 lbs. I weigh them if I want to know their true weight haha.
I did bay solid twice in one night-one that I was sure would make 400, solid Russian colored, ivory galore, a true trophy, and at the time I had a little sorry "give-me" Bulldog that missed him both times, once a good clear shot from 15 yards the other was in a sprout thicket and I was so close I could have spit on him but still couldn't see him. She was one that wanted to catch on the snout at the very end of the nose and lots of hogs saw her coming and turned her a flip, it is a wonder this big hog didn't cut her head off, and she was cut in the neck on the first attempt but not bad. I was sick but hey you get what you earn and there wasn't anyone preventing me from having a quality catchdog but me haha. That was a long time ago and I haven't saw one in the woods that was his equal yet.
