well your more of a man then me, i would have gotten really far back and killed it with the sniper cat.

You have brave L Cats then cause mine got scared and ran off when they saw the beast. Otherwise I would have used Fully Auto Cat.

Ok it could be real I guess. But far chance IMO.

It is just in the last few years these hogs have become feral and grown huge? why is that? 10 years ago or 20 years ago no one bagged a hogzilla? All I'm saying is the last one was said to be smaller than people were trying to say and this one has all the publicity signals of the last one.

(I should set up scheme to bag 40ft home fed "wild" anaconda on local land...) *Impossible due to NE weather I know, just a point..

I'd like to hear more of the story though. Did they use dogs to corner it?,etc

BTW, chris you know too much about hogs. I watched hogzilla like 3 times and even I don't remember that much info..

LoL I didn't even think I knew about hogs. I believe it was playing in the background while I was doing water changes. I think they call it eidetic memory.

Btw I think I am picking up this bad boy next week in case I am confronted by Hogzilla III. http://www.gunsmagazine.com/F0307.html
I have recently changed my stance on killing animals. Of course mine would only be in a life or death situation.
 
check out the size of the kid compared to the size of the bore in these two pics..

something just seems..off

in the first pic, the bore seems to dwarf the kid, second pic the kid looks bigger, and the bore is not so enormous

compare both pictures from the bore's back, maily where the kid is standing in the first picture..in pic one..the bore seems like it would be able to swallow the kid whole, second pic...not so much. and in the second pic, the kid and his father are further back, if they where standing right up close with the bore and the nose was touching the ground..it would seem a little more ..realistic

I think your on to something. The boar hanging if layed down looks like it's thickness would come to the kids waistline maybe and that's it.

Someone take that hanging picture, cutout the hog in photoshop and rotate it and stick it under the kid in the same pic.
 
I have to agree with you guys when comparing the two pics. Just the mere fact that they measured from the hogs outstretched leg would give it another 1' in length.

here you go...i think that fisrt pic was photoshopped. the lighting of the pig and the kid looks different. and on the second pic the kid and dad are standing probably a few feet back from the pig so the pig should definetly be smaller than what they say it is.

Agreed. In that first picture it looks like the kid could fit inside it's head, in the second the pig appears much smaller.
 
There is also the mere fact that pictures on occasion are deceiving without any photoshopping done. When I am photographing my tanks sometimes and I noticed this last night in one shot my Tigrinus looked like he was about 4-5" compared to the other fish when in fact he is about 16" Certain angles, depth perception etc.. I'm not saying this is the case in this example but I feel like any time any picture pops up that looks unreal everyone is too quick to jump on the photoshop bandwagon.
 
Every picture taken on that website has the people well behind the pig.While a very large boar at that.Every possible effort has been taken to make it look larger than it is with simple photography skills.If it was true ,in this day and age .Every effort would have been made to prove it,including high-res pictures.The only pic that doesn't give that perception is the one with the tractor.Size is so much different it looks like 2 different boars.
