That is almost beyond belief! :shck:

In some of the places I get to hunt you never get him back to the truck except a piece at a time.  I bet that thing tore the woods up.

Thanks.  There seems to be a lot of information here if I can read through all of it.

Now I don't know how they could consider this thing to be a pig, This is what I call a HOG and a Big one at that. Good picture. cc

Rich....your so full of it.......little ones  :rolleye:.LOL  :hahaha:

If that mammoth came through the thicket.....I would want something other than a pistol in hand. Heck , the biggest thing I have is a 7mm mag and I would still have to think about the thing turning on me before I shot. And after the shot, Cam would have to get the spare shorts out of the truck for me or him one...maybe both of us.

.50 S&W took 8 shots and 3 hrs trailing him through the brush. Also had a couple of rifles for back up, don't know if they had a shorts bearer or not. :biggrin:

Lot's of sausage there for sure but it would surprise me if it was fit to eat.


One time, while Bop and I were calling coyotes, we had a wild boar run by us that made ol' hogzilla look like a little piggy....









....at least it did at the time.  :laf:

  I looked at it as close as I could and it appears the boy is around 3 feet or so behind the hog. He has his arms propped up on his knee. I believe he is trying to give the illusion he his propped up on the hog.

  In Jawja they have facial hair and driver license by the third grade. Reason is they are around 18 at the time they reach the third grade.

Chet you have been hanging around Bop way to long :rolleye: He is always trying to get some guys mouth close to him  he is into the biting thing.

I don't think the hog was "out there" hiding all the time. From what I'm reading about the hog, it had been previously trapped and placed within a fenced enclosure. Plenty of good feed with little exercise will allow them to grow much larger than a free ranging actually wild/feral hog.

  I am with you on that one GC it was in a fenced in preserve. I have been to one of these in south AL and you walk by a bunch of hogs going to your stand. Once the feeder goes off they come a running.  The guy told me he got a 600lbs hog and put it in a holding cage and when the client came they herded it past him. They charged Something like $3500 for that  hog.

By the way they took the photo trying to deceive people was one of there goals so it makes me wonder even more.

I think they did try to enhance the photo by putting the boy back from the hog. But I did go to there web site where they had a pic of the hog hanging from the bucket of a tractor, it looks pretty big. Also a domestic boar can get up to 1300 lbs. But on the other hand when they took it to have it made into sausage you would think it would have been weighed there.
