I had no idea, lived in Kansas more than 40 years and never have seen one. They said they usually reach a max of 400lbs.
Here is the story that came with the picture, names have been removed to protect the innocent.
REALLY BIG HOG
The guy in the pictures is *****. He lives in Great Bend, Kansas. He has
20 acres of land and on it, a few cows and horses. Mostly it's pasture land
that is fenced with woods surrounding him. He is neighbored by a larger
cattle ranch. His neighbor has complained for several years that wild
hogs had been raiding his cattle feeders and salt licks. Last month he saw
what he thought was a cow in his pond and went to see if it was stuck in the
mud and would have to be pulled out. When he got close enough to realize it
was a hog, the thing made a charge at him. He had driven his truck down to
the pond and carries a pistol in it He got his handgun and when it came at
him again, he shot it twice and killed it. Wild hogs in Kansas usually run
from 100-400 pounds with a 400 pounder being a monster.
Because this one had been feasting on grain for several years it had grown to mammoth size.
When **** took it to the processor it weighed in at over 1100 pounds! The meat has no wild taste, as it was grain fed; and Larry is quite the hero. He has fed the local fireman a barbecue feast and provided the homeless shelter with a couple of meals from just this one HOG.
