Look at the size of that thing! I can't imagine a hog getting that big even with an unlimited food supply. Could these be a separate species of larger wild hogs?

Can you imaging the size of pork chops you'd get from that animal?



Killed by an 11 year old even, fiction could not have produced a better story than that.

I think this picture was "doctored up" a little bit. Taking in comparison the size of the hog and the hunter, it looks as if the hog was as big as a rhinoceros.

Hogs can weigh a lot more than what this one is estimated at (scale said 1050 - 1060 lbs., and National Geographic estimated it at 800 lbs.).

Some hogs can weigh as much as 1600 lbs., and then there is this one:

"Big Bill", who weighed 2,552 pounds

"Big Bill", who weighed 2,552 pounds, was nine feet long, and had a belly that dragged on the ground, holds the record for the largest hog ever.


(tried to find some pictures of him with no luck)

Not trying to take away the accomplishment from the hunter of bagging a
a wild hog of this size. It is indeed a rarity for a wild hog to grow so large. All of the largest hogs have been raised on farms.

Turns out this wild hog was not so wild after all....

'Monster pig' was a not-so-wild gift named Fred (link)



Poor Fred.

Rest In Peace.

Alas poor Fred: the large hog that cryed HOAX.

May you be smothered in apple sauce and enjoyed by many hungry peoples over several days.

Some hunter "look at the wild pig hidding in the fenced off area"

"Hasta la vista porky"

Yeah, the Houston Chronicle stated that they got over 700 pounds of sausage from that hog.

Yes, indeed, but it is OK to have one Breaking news discussion, and one in a general forum.

So first it was real, then it was a Photochop, now it's real but a domestic pig?

Is this now the real story???

I don't see how this cannot be real and the story was even in the Houston Chronicle... Yeah, I think it's real. Whether it's domestic or wild, I don't know, but it looks pretty wild to me.

The latest is that it was real domestic hog that was photoshopped.

Next week will be that it died of old age and the boy confesses to shooting a dead pig.
