Biggest hog I ever saw was at the Island.
It was late and I was about to climb down when I heard something walking in the water. It would walk a little and stop for a while. Then it got on higher ground but I could hear it hitting Palmetto plants.
I finally got a quick look in the dim light, when it was ~50 yards away. I was not sure what I had just seen. It was so big, I thought it might have been a bear. It was very dark in color and about the right shape.
When it got to an area with less brush, I saw it was a big hog....maybe 250-300 lbs but I missed my only chance at a clear shot with the rifle.
If I would have shot it, I am not sure how I would have gotten it back to my boat by myself and then how would I have lifted it into the boat.
