Do you have piggies like this?
I posted the story on the "American Hunting" board but thought the you guys might like to see our piggies.
Alabama Boy Kills 1,051-Pound Monster Pig,
Looks like a great pig alright. Only thing stopping it looking any bigger is the fact that the trees are stopping the young bloke from moving further back

Still a nice pig

EXPRESSWhy is it that no one tries to get away with posing farm/pen/stall reared deer but we just accept it as being true blue with pigs?
It's quite simple, there is no way. NO WAY a pig can get to those proportions in the wild. There just isn't enough protein rich feed out there.
In fact, anyone will usually get flamed for shooting a deer that has had any kind of human contact, but it's fine to shoot pen reared pigs, just as long as they're not actually in the pen at the time?
BTW I read an article in this hunt - it seems tey "booked in" to go shoot him on a fecned property. Pretty lame.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not jelous type.
I myself shot an escapee boar that was well over 250kg/550lb with 7" tusks. But I'm not about to go brag about it as a well deserved wild game kill.
