Default The New Hogizilla

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet but it was in this issue of Field and Stream. He's 1,200 pounds.

Here's the link:

http://www.fieldandstream.com/fieldstream/photogallery/article/0,13355,1593052,00.html

Also an article in Field and Stream:

Top 5 Regions for Hogs

1.Texas-some researchers estimate that half the hogs in America are found in Texas
2.Florida- second to Texas
3.California
4.North Carolina and Tennessee
5.Mississippi

Does anyone use a hog squealer or boar hog urine?

That's a Bigun!

Hog Kong was killed close to me in Okahumpka, FL and it was larger than HogZilla. Hog Kong was 1140 lbs. According to this Field and Stream article, this one is only 1100 lbs.

This much is clear: Bill Coursey killed a very large free-roaming hog (shown above) in his neighbor's yard in southern Fayette County, Georgia, on the afternoon of January 4, 2007. The hog measured 9 feet in length, and weighed in on a certified truck scale at 1,100 pounds. At that size, the animal dwarfs the vaunted "Hogzilla," recognized by Safari Club International as the North American free-range record hog.


Here's Hog Kong from FL.....

When was Hog Kong killed? And how often do hogs get above 400 lbs? Cause I usually see guys posting hogs anywhere from 100-350 lbs. I just wondered how often they got bigger than that and how long does it take for one to get that big?

These are Hogs that eat atcattle troughs, cattle mineral boxesand cattle salt blocks.Hogs that get that big are always around cattle ranches.

"Forensic scientists from the National Geographic Channel have unearthed Hogzilla and will report their findings in a show to be aired later this year, according to The Associated Press"

Did it ever get aired and verified?
