Is there any way to tell how old a hog may be

?

yes, there ate two ages for hogs

1. alive

2. as old as he is going to be...dead.

you're welcome

I don't know how. Under 75 lbs is probably less than a year I would guess. After that, just a guess.

I sort of break pigs down into two types; woods pigs and farm land pigs. The farm land pigs normally get a lot bigger.

I have been on properties that are all woods with no farming in the area. They "claim" to kill lots of 400 lb pigs. I will come in and kill 100-200 off of the property and not kill one over 200 lbs. I guess scales make all types of animals shrink. LOL

I can’t tell you how many times I have went to catch a “300” pound boar off feeders for people and it ended up being 150 pounds.

Had a client years ago that had hunted hogs in GA, FL, and TN. Had killed 350+ pound hogs in each of the states. I told him to not get his hopes up here in Bama. Anyway, he shot a boar early that afternoon and called me to come get him and his monster hog. I got there and was shocked. He had shot what I estimated to be a 135 lb. hog. After weighting it I was 3 lbs short. He claimed it was bigger than any of the ones he had killed in his previous hunts. He was not happy with his previous outfitters. I did ask if they had put any of his hogs on the scales. He said they hadn't. They just guessed at the weight. Many of my clients are shocked at my "guesses" until the hog is put on the scales.

Give me a weight guess on this one. Now I'm not a small guy.

180

220

Hogs should be aged in two categories. Dead or alive. After having to plant fields twice, two years in a row, "dead" is my much preferred age of the two types.

I'm going to say 210.

Two forty 😀

256 for you or the hog.............

I would guess around 225 - I killed three one afternoon about that size, and they all weighed between 215-225.

Kinda on the lite side for me.

Well ... what did he weigh ??

I have no idea. I never put iI on a scale. The one hog I did weigh was 205lbs and was a LOT smaller than this one. I wish I had weighed it.
