In almost 30 yrs I've caught a couple 4+ and several 3+, scale weights. They aren't the norm. We have quite a few bigger hogs around here, good food sources and plenty water usually with lots of cover. Fear and adrenaline are miracle grow to eyes of the beholder, lol. More times than not when someone says they saw or caught some monstrous hog, I knock atleast 100 pounds or more off in my mind. Too many times folks have seen hogs we've caught and say oh my gosh that sucker must weigh 3, 4, or 5 pounds when in fact its 225 or 250. The biggest I've actually seen and know for 100% what his actual weight was, a buddy of mine shot laying in mud hole with another boar. He didn't realize how big he was at the time. He weighed out at 601. He was massive and red. His ears were erect but as big as my 2 hands together. His pride and joy looked like 2 volley balls and a track like a cow. He said the black boar that tan off had to 4 if this one weighed 6. I've hunted that property numerous times before he shot that hog and never saw him. I might have seen his track and wrote it off for a cow track but that goes to show just because you haven't seen them don't mean they aren't there.
