It'd be more believable if the kid wasn't crouched 15 ft.behind the hog.
Bogus.

Yep, the ol forced perspective technique. The kid is way behind the hog. It might be a large hog, but not as big as they are trying to make it look.

Yep, if we are suppose to believe the one picture they produced then that pig is about 3000 pounds.

I know if I were to shoot an animal that big and was going to make the papers i would certiainly get a lot more and much better documentation.

Not the ole....... well, it's sausage now so you can't see it. You just gotta take our word.

Let's assume the height of a kids head from chin to top is 10 inches. look at the snout of that pig. Its as tall or taller than the kids face.

Lets also assume that the kid is somewhere near 5' tall. lay that kid down next to this thing and you have more than 2 maybe 3of him easily. heck 1 of him would barely reach the front shoulder.

Something just aint right

Right, that's a bit different than holding a fish out at the end of your arm...

If you look real closely at the picture, you will notice Bigfoot lurking in the woods, waiting for the lad to leave. I don't know why some people are such doubters................

This pig is getting a lot of discussion in the Hogs and Exotics forum. There are numerous pictures and various angles, etc. It IS a very large pig. Y'all might want to take a look at the discussions in the other forum.
