No deer but the hog was good size. Had to get the front end loader to get him to the house. No scale but guessing 250+

Great hog!!! I bet he goes more than 250#. Gotta love those TX hogs and the Texans who shoot 'em. We hunt around Goliad and would love to see one that big, I guess we are hunting in the wrong place!

experience says 375+ awesome--I miss Tx so much--cannot wait to get back there after seeing pics like this---a big-bore upper
on an AR15 with an Eotech is the most fun I have ever had shooting hogs on the run!

Re: Last Weekend of Buck Season in Cotulla, TX
hey guys, that looks like some of the uper sized ones we get down here, in AUSTRALIA. they are everywhere and spreading fast!!!!
if you ever want a real fun experiance, i reccomed shooting them from a chopper as thats how its done by the pro shooters down here, but they are shooting 10,000+ in a few weeks.
thats hogs, not rounds.......lol
great pig mate,
cheers, jim
ps, if you ever feel like an interesting hunt, try crossing croc infested rivers up to your armpits in order to get to that prize boar on the other side...... just remember, crossing with a buddy exactly HALVES your chances of being eaten by a croc!!!!! hahahahaha

Re: Last Weekend of Buck Season in Cotulla, TX
I thought he was 300+ also but without a scale, it is hard to tell. Trying to get him loaded was a bit#* for an old guy.
I have to find a place to do the head. I am going to have a European mount done. The better half hasn’t said anything about mounts in the house until I said hog (shoulder mount), and I she said NO! Skull is OK.
He should be sausage by now. Place in Sulphur, LA made a friend some outstanding smoked link sausage. Wish I could have found a fat doe to mix with it.

That is a great take. I plan to go boar hunting with my brother and father for the first time next month. I'm very excited. Do you have the boar butchered like a normal pig or is there another method as they are feral and have tougher meat? Well done and thanks for sharing.

Wild pigs are not as fat as domestic pigs so you may have to add some fat or pork butt when you process. Adding venison is always good but it is also lean so you need to add a little fat.
Boars can be good or bad. When you walk up on him and he has a bad smell, just haul him to the gut pile. If he doesn’t smell, skin him like anything else. We always cut off a small piece of meat and cook it in a skillet to see if the meat smells or has a bad taste. If not, you are good to go. I have never seen one that was less than 150 lbs that was bad.
I won’t say they don’t, BUT I have never seen a sow smell. Always check.
We have also caught piglets and did a “cut and release” program. They grow up big, don’t fight, or develop a smell issue.
Friend shot a big (200+ lb) boar outside Refugio, TX once that had 6” tusk. His testicles had not dropped as he matured. He had no fighting scars and no smell but HUGE TEETH.
