Huge Bertie County hog exceeds 500-pound mark
Conetoe man kills big pig Feb. 28 on hunt-club land

Jeff Webb killed this enormous wild hog, which weighed at least 500 pounds, on hunt-club land in Bertie County on Feb. 28.

Under starry skies on Feb. 28, Jett Webb of Conetoe ensured there will be one less mouth to feed in the Indian Woods section of Bertie County – and a real big mouth, too.
Webb took down a massive wild boar that bottomed out a set of scales certified to 500 pounds that’s used for weighing tobacco bales.

Michael Mansell, president of the White Oak Ranch Hunting Club, said he weighed well over 500 pounds.

“He pegged the maximum weight capacity of the certified scales with his head and shoulders still on the skinning shed floor,” Mansell said. “It was a true beast!”

Webb’s hog was on his radar, and some other club members, for some time from trail camera shots taken this year and from previous years on the 1,886-acre hunting club.

According to Mansell, the huge boar eluded their clever hunters for approximately six eight years – about the same White Oak members began seeing hogs on their hunting tract in the Roanoke River swamps.

“We have pictures of him going back to 2011. He was a hard one to get on the ground for he moved around a great deal,” Mansell said. “These hogs are smart; we stay scent free, watch the wind and hunt from elevated stands.”

Webb, who had killed another huge hog two years ago after hunting him for five months, baited this big hog for a month. The sweet-tasting corn and a night-hunting light was too much for this oversized, heap of pork chops. Webb killed the bear with a .308 around 10:30 p.m.

According to Mansell, the hogs of his club’s property have characteristics similar to the Eurasian strain of hogs with long snouts, large tusks, tufts on the end of their tails, a ridgeback hair line and a real bad attitude.

The hog was farm feed then trucked in to the hunt-club and released to be hunted in a enclosed area.

Giant Wild Boar Shot in Conroe, Texas?
By David Emery

The earliest version of the caption, dated March 2009, claims the monster boar was bagged in Texas. An August 2011 version says it was shot in Missouri. Yet another version claims it was killed in Florida. The truth of the matter is that these photos weren't taken anywhere on the North American continent.

According to a March 3, 2009 article in the Conroe Courier, no 1,800-pound wild boar has ever been seen near Conroe, Texas, let alone hunted, bagged, and photographed for posterity. Your average Texan feral hog weighs in at approximately 150 lbs., says a Texas Parks and Wildlife game warden quoted in the Courier. An exceptionally large one might tip the scales at 300. It's rare to find a wild boar exceeding 400 pounds anywhere in the United States.

In point of fact, it's doubtful there's a wild boar anywhere in the world that weighs 1,800 pounds. There have been reports of domestic hogs approaching or exceeding that size, but the largest documented specimens in the wild have topped out at 1,100 pounds or less.

Citing a report in a French hunting magazine, the Courier reveals that the boar in these pictures was actually a 781-pounder killed in Turkey in 2005 (the EXIF data embedded in the images confirms the photos were snapped on June 3 of that year). One visual clue — the "Nature Tours" logo on the side of a vehicle in one of the photos — indeed points to a Turkish hunting website on which the same images are displayed.
