If you have to load a huge boar hog into your pickup by yourself do it before you are 70 years old.

This is not OBL. OBL was seen this morning by my farm neighbor. However, it is still a big boar hog.
Range: 35-50 yards.
Orientation: Broadside
Weight: 294 pounds field dressed.
Gun: CVA Staghorn
Powder Load: 110 grains of GoeX Pinnacle 2F
Bullet: 240 grain .430 XTP
Primer: Winchester shotgun
Was watching a pond and had just shot at a smaller hog. There was no sign that the hog was hit: No blood, hair or anything. But i kept hearing grunts like a mortally wounded hog sometimes makes. Started walking in a semi circle looking for that hog when i saw a hog take off through the grass.
This hog just stood there and got himself shot. He squealed for about 15 seconds and then stopped. Approached the hog and found him on the ground paralyzed but alive. Administer a coup de grace.
Dragged the hog to a road bank, drove over the bank and tried to drag the hog into the truck with no luck. Gutted the hog and was barely able to get him loaded.
That hog was hit in the lungs. A piece of the bullet must have hit some CNS thing and paralyzed the hog. The bullet did not exit.
That boar is very fat. When i washed out the body cavity with a hose big fat globules washed out with the blood and gore. This is the heaviest bodied hog i have ever seen. The bacon was 2.5" thick.

You are going to have to live on just porK.
We eat about two meals of pork a week at our place. Most of the hogs i kill are given away. Some go to the sheriff's drug court in another county.
Those are the only pics that we had time for this morning. We weighed the hog late last night and iced it down with 13 bags of ice. The ice had almost completely melted by 7:00 am this morning. The guy who was supposed to get this hog did not call me until very late in the morning and we had already given it to another family.
The man we gave the hog to will save the head for me. After some scraping and a couple of weeks on an ant hill we will photograph the skull.
That fatty looks like he's been feeding well. Probably on the local crops.

So what do you think fattened him up so much? Could he have been getting corn from another hunters feeder?

Nice porker!
I've been fortunate enough to find someone to help load heavy deer into my trunk. One time it was a conservation officer!
Now I carry a deer hoist with me which I would hook up to a tree limb, just in case no one else is around.

Not a many folks in that area run deer feeders this time of the year. That hog could have been eating out of a calf creep feeder or eating some horse supplement.
