that is one BIG pig

The prize pig, shot by Jamison Stone on an Alabama hunting preserve in May 2007, reportedly weighed 1,051 pounds and measured 9 feet, 4 inches from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail.

If the claims are accurate, Jamison's trophy boar would be bigger than the original “Hogzilla,” the legendary 800-pound, 8-foot-long wild hog killed in south Georgia in 2004.

Now had he done it with a hunting knife, I would be very impressed.

Lord of the Flies?

I've seen that picture before, maybe last year.

Its funny how these things circulate on the web then turn up as 'news' elsewhere.

In New Zealand you can buy a magasine called Hog Hunter, the cover of which generally features a kiwi red neck with a dead, hairy pig on his back, who's mouth has been wedged open with a stick to make it look scarier. Apparently once shot, you have to carry your (normal sized) boar out to your truck sharpish, as when the body cools all the fleas, ticks and lice begin to migrate to the closest warm body that they can find.
