    Managed a bit of a sneak on these two a few nights ago
    Carried a few 160 lb'ers out to the chiller back in the day, but nothin as big as this fella. Dont know what he weighed but fair to say that after carryin as much meat as we could carry, the old knees were a bit sick next day

    On my iPad, that first picture looks like you’ve got a bayonet attached. Which probably isn’t such a bad idea with the big bastard like that.

    Quite often a big guy like that will have an "apprentice" who usually has the life expectancy of Lancaster tail gunners during the war especially if dogs are involved. Good work I suspect the smaller on will be better eating though.

    The grey is an unusual looking bastard, short but very solid, bloody thick in the lower legs, bet he was heavy. Doesn't look old. Top notch winter pig country
