Hes probably what, 3ft high? (compared to that dead tree)
I say at least over 80, maybe 90 or 100. You should put a meterstick in the ground out there for some perspective
Also, its boar, not bore.

Best way to tell flip would be to get him on the ground! Looks to be a pretty nice sized boar though. Id have to guess anywhere from 220 to 275. Hard to really tell without something to size him too.

Maybe around 200.

Looks comparable to,
or a little bigger than, the muzzle loader boar a couple of posts down. That one field dressed at 270lb.

Hard to tell from just one pic and nothing of known scale next to the hog.
Its a good boar, my guess would be 225...ish.
He has nice cutters...but the camera angle is showing both the cutter and whetter together....making the cutter look slightly longer in length.
Good pig though, no doubt about that.

Looked at the buck photo near the same sawed off tree where the boar is pictured. The hog weighs 200-225 pounds; he's a good boar.

I don't think you are supposed to weigh the pig with your gear at the same time. I may be wrong on that, but that is what I was led to believe.

200-250.
But unless that hog was previously trapped and castrated, it's not a he.
This is Wink. We called her Wink because she was missing an eye. Then one day we got a rear-end shot of "her" to find out she was a he. He weighed 275 when I dropped him about a week after this shot was taken.
The difference isn't exactly subtle...
I weight 270 and my nuts aren't that big...

My guess, she's around 200, maybe a little more. Let us know when you drop her.
In Texas they get huge.
I have been out and have seen prints that have skeered the shiites out of me.
I shot one that was 225 lbs, and the prints I saw were at least 3 times the size
of the hoofs of the one I got
Theyre nasty and ornery.....

LMAO. Fla, you may want to magnify that pic he has posted. Granted his "manhood" is not as pronounced as the one you have pictured, but you can see the testicle just on the right side of his tail. Definitely a male. Plus I don't think I have seen too many sows with tusks that pronounced either.
Who wants to guess the size of this tub-of-lard? Northern Calif.

Discussing the size of the feet, look close at the size of the legs of OP

Okay, we weren't discussing the size of the feet, you can't see the feet in the OP, and there is not stated correlation or lack of correlation between leg and foot size. LOL. So did you have a point?

Prints leads me to believe they were left by the foot, hoof etc...As a rule bigger legs = stronger, they normally come with bigger foot/hoof if you want a healty animal... Horse farrier 101...
Point...
Does it need to be in print and spelled out perfect
Notice many here are becoming very much, sticklers about type o's some misspell and perfect sentence structure if nothing else to complain about

You know you simply can not closely estimate the weight of a hog on the hoof unless you've got something to compare it's size to.
After hunting them extensively for the last decade and a half and having killed hundreds and hundreds of them and having seen a bunch killed I've come down to this, I can tell you it's a big hog BUT it could be three feet at the shoulder it could be 7 feet long or it could be half that size with the same build and weigh half as much.
Hog like bears are really hard to judge accurately without some kind of known comparator. The best way to really accurately measure them is to shoot them and then weigh the carcass. And I say this because just like every neophyte who see's a bear in the wild says it was a "1,000 pounder" it seems that everyone who kills a hog in the wild claims it to be a "300 pounder" when in fact there are very few 1,000 lb bears killed and very few 300 lb wild hogs killed. I've killed a few genuine 300 lb wild hogs but they are rare.
One thing for sure is that it is a mature hog. And another thing guys sows don't grow tusks of any size only boars do. If the tusk is protruding above the lip line it's near certain that it's a boar. On occasion a sow will have over developed teeth but rarely do they pop up over the lip.
