I don't understand the hype over this. It's just a domestic farm hog. They regularly get to 1000 pounds. I shot one stuck in a river for a farmer years ago that was 750 dressed and it had about 6" of tusk sticking out of the gums. The uppers were as thick as a warthog tusk.

It was just a giant stupid fat farm pig. Exactly like the one in the photo here. Why all of a sudden is a big farm hog news?

The legend grows! Two or three months ago it was called "Hogzilla" and weighed 1000 pounds. Next year it will be 1500 pounds and it attacked a school bus full of kids. Of course, it had the rural legend story: Man shoots monster pig somewhere in Georgia. Only one photo taken. Nothing saved, nobody else saw it, his wall at the house wasn't big enough for the skull/head, etc, etc, etc. Kind of reminds me of the "Rumpula Buck" (sp?) that was the buzz a couple years ago here in Michigan with a story that didn't flush. Or the 14 foot brown bear in Alaska a couple years ago that the story cycled around the Internet several times.

Currently running on A-R at this time is a story of a 50 inch Sable. There are multiple photos. There are names, dates, confirmation, etc. It will end up mounted on a wall and entered in records books. Plenty of witnesses.

Maybe the guy shot a monster hog. But why all the murkiness? Why not load it up in the truck and take it to town in front of the local feed store? Take a few more photos?
