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.
Red nose, the son of the landowner is one of my best friends and we picked up hog dogging together back in high school. They pre condition a bunch of cattle so it’s feed bunks with feed out year round. One morning the 2 sons they were headed to school with mom and mom made a comment about wow look at that little heifer, she’s so short and fat. The boys looked and seen it was a hog and not a yearlin. That afternoon they called the Holub’s to come out. Family of dog hunters who did it a long time around here and were very respected. Holub’s showed up with a couple dogs and got him caught. 464lb. Intact boar hog.
