RE: 1,000 pound pig!
I'm not buying it. A feral hog has got to work for a living. No laying around being fed. Not gonna mount the head because no wall could hold it. I've seen lots of different kinds of mounted African game up on many different walls but no wall could hold this hog's head...yeah right. Just bury it and only let people see the pic. Makes alot of sense. NOT![:'(][:-]

I think it's a hoax--for one thing, they've only got one picture of the thing? Where's the obligatory photo of the hog on the ground, next to the guy who shot it, and the gun it was shot with?
If I shot any critter that size, you'd better believe I'd have a bunch of photos taken.

I live an hour or so from the plantation hogzilla was shot on. This plantation has guided hog hunts... the word around here is that she was a pen raised hog used for breeding and stocking the plantation. She supposedly escaped and was later shot. Some think that this is the reason there was no mount and not butchered... because it was more or less a "pet" pig.
Again, this is just rumors, so I don't know how true it may be.

Have you folks ever heard of "forced perspective" in relation to photos and film? Take a close look at the photo and ask yourself why is the hog in focus and the guy out of focus if he is standing right beside it? The answer is he is not right beside it but in actuality quite a ways behind the hog making the hog look much bigger than it is. That trick has been around forever.
