They are getting comfortable!! BANG BANG!!
Heart girth is measured in inches using a cloth measuring tape. The tape is placed directly behind the front legs,
wrapped snugly around the heart girth, and read directly behind the shoulders.
42"=220
yeah we do not measure the length and the hog weight charts printed on tapes are for domestic hogs. The above chart has been proven to be fairly reliable when measuring feral hogs, it was an extensive test...so 42" measured in the proper location and pulled snug is 220lbs
Yes, we were laughing at how big that hog appeared in the pic. I intentionally stood back approx 4' behind him and put my arm out like I was touching it's back. We did it to prank the landowner.Glad it worked out for ya! Good example of how pics can be deceiving.. but still, nice hog!
