Just ran across this story again on MetaFilter and went to the website again. Lots and lots of e-mails added to the page. The pig may or may not be that big- but the story is huge and the controversy even bigger. Doesn't seem like this leads to anything but bad publicity for hunting. (Opposition to hunting, weapon choice, canned hunts, et al.).

Kinda wish now I had never even seen it- no matter how impressive the beast is. (And he is impressive, no matter his real size and weight.)
