I want to build a quick reference chart for range estimation. What would you say the average height and length of a Texas wild pig are?
 
I'm guessing maybe 60 to 80 pounds is about average from what I've seen or shot. I'm guessing 2 1/2' or so to the top of their back. 3 feet or so from snout to rump. That's just going by bigger pigs though. There's lots of baby ones. Just make a bunch of different sizes because there's all different sizes in every group pretty much no matter where you go.
 
That’s a tough one. On our lease in central Texas we’ve shot one pig that was 200 most in that area that i’ve shot are 75-80 pounds. Back home on the South Sulphir River in east Texas we don’t shoot many that are less that 125-150. I would venture to say that they vary a lot by your location due to their available food. Lots of corn and soybeans here so the pigs are bigger. Brushier country in central Texas doesn’t seem to grow them as big.
