Somewhere in the vicinity of 100 or 150 years back, wealthy sportsmen released Russian boars in the Smoky Mountains. Some crossbreeding with feral hogs resulted. Hunt clubs and guides have long advertised hunts in that area. The sizes, though, are not nearly as exciting as the Discovery Channel's nonsense. The Russian hogs were noted more for hostility than for great size.
Large feral hogs? Sure, occasionally. 500 to 700 pounds sometimes happens. Those are uncommon. The majority of feral hogs top out mostly around 300 pounds. "Majority: and "mostly" are the key words.
