    How heavy you think it is?

    Well, a guy from Texas got a boar on the public land over there yesterday...with an SKS. He claimed that this boar weighs about 200 lbs. But I think this boar is at most about 80 to 90 lbs given its size shown it the picture. So what you guys think?

    You Know What?

    It's tough to tell with all the shadowing and just one picture. I would give the guy the benefit of the doubt though those hogs can get bigger than that.

    If there was a few more pics from a little farther back I think it would be easier.

    Happy Hunting!

    Question Re: How heavy you think it is?

    hogs and bears are both deceiving critters, they are alot denser than say a deer or sheep

    bad pic, with the shadowing, but it doesnt look more than 200 lbs to me, thats for sure

    Re: How heavy you think it is?

    Here's an idea to put things in perspective. Lets say the average human guy on this board, for arguments sake, weighs 200lbs and is probably a lot lankier than a bear or bore. Get him down on all fours and you'll see just how small even a 400lb bear (or pig) might be when it is down compare to being all stretched out as a rug.

    Pictures are very deceiving. By that pic I'd say that's about as big as a mid sized dog.

    I think the real question should be!!!!

    Did he shoot it?.
    Or did he cowboy up and stick it with the bayonet?.

    If he got it with the bayonet, he could call it any weight he wanted, and it would be cool

    I would say it's likey less than 100 lbs. Judging from boars that I have shot and that where quit a big larger than that one in the picture, weighing around 150 lbs to 200 lbs.
