I'll bet that hog has been shot before.

I've been wondering where my ex-wife went.
That thing looks corn fed. What a brute.
I had a HS sow that weighed 710 when sold. But, hogs don't get this big eating roots and berries, this 820 lb'r had some help, and probably wasn't all that wild to begin with.Most folks don't realize how large hogs can get. I sold a boar that weighed 780 lbs once.
Got a lotta pigs from that guy, he just got too big for the sows.
They don't just eats roots and berries if there are crops in the area. And hogs keep growing for several years.
But indeed he may have been an escapee running with the wild bunch...

500lb is big, really big. Capped a 450 last year on the river. Used the hydraulic hay spikes on my truck to lift it up and move it out of the sand. Too smelly to eat, so the dogs has meat for weeks.
Y'all seriously believe that pig is over 800lbs?!?
I can't believe the 38 took it down. Even with 3 shots I can't believe it. Must have been three to the dome. Talk about meat for months.

Shot placement. Maybe he hit it in the eye socket?
Lots of slaughter houses use a .22 (hammer? don't remember the name) to kill animals. Before that, they used poleaxes. My Dad used to kill steers with .22 shorts when they did their own butchering.
