Went to check cameras this morning. Walking in before daylight I heard hogs spook near my feeder, but when the feeder went off 20 minutes later the corn barely hit the ground before a herd of about 18 were one it. I picked out the biggest and the Creedmoor barked.
Was bigger than I thought and was surprised to find out it had been cut. Put him on ice when I got home.
Went by another feeder and about 6 smalls one there, but didn't want to drive in pick up a little one.
One the way to my other stand, I had to pass by a friend of mines and there were some big hogs there. I backed up and slipped out the rifle. They didn't leave but were wary. Finally the big boar gave me a hole to shoot through and the Creedmoor barked again.
Loaded both on my hitch hauler and carried them home because I wanted to try out my new scale.

It worked like a charm.
So you think you are a good judge of weighing a hog?
I weighed both and will let you guess.
dumped the boar and kept hams, straps and shoulder on the bar to make sausage.
