    I agree nate. The hogs we hunt out west are much smaller than the ones on our ranch. When the corn, rice, and milo are in the hogs get very heavy

    Guess I'm the dummy here that doesn't understand the question. Do you mean average weight of harvested boars or just boars in the wild?

    Ok, I guess average Boar in my county would be 150 lbs. Bought like the one taken when you guys were here Shane. Sow probably around 70.

    I have never paid attention to the sex, but I would guess the average hog out here in the west texas brush country is about 100 lbs on the hoof. It is a very arid climate out here with a large population. There a re plenty of hogs that get much larger, just talking averages.

    Here in West Tx, north of Abilene we have alot of good farm land and lots of hogs. I'd say the average boar for the places I hunt is about 160#. However we shot several every year over 200#.

    We have been blessed at La Mota ranch in deep South Texas with average weight of wild boar coming off the ranches near 300lbs with some hitting the 500lb mark, but these big boys run at night predominately and we usually shoot one or two a year and catch smaller pigs 50 to 100lbs in the traps!!!
