6 years in I’ve been there for one hog over 300. He was a Barr. Killed a 283 lb boar right before him that we actually weighed so Barr weight wasn’t official but we all agreed he was much bigger than the boar. Other than that I’ve killed one other 286 boar and few hogs between 230-250. There was many a 300+ killed right around my home town back in the day. These days I rarely hear of a big hog around fayette county. I think them big hogs are a kind of a perfect accident and I don’t believe your average wild hog has the genetics to get to 300 much less 400. Barr hog been in our high fence please down here in south Texas for Atleast 7 years. 7 years of year round access to protein feeders, he may be 300-320. Don’t see him being much bigger than that and he sure ain’t been starving

Slim I remember quite a few years back they caught one down by you that was like 480lb or something like that, they weighed it to make it official and posted on here. I wasn't on here when it happened but a few years ago I stumbled on the thread somehow and read it.

If I remember right they just said a farmer saw it in the field with his cows and called someone who just came and dumped bulldogs on it.
