Real pic but false hunt. The kid chased and killed it thinking it was a legitimate wild hog only to find out it was a pet just a few weeks before.

Man, that's a helluva lot of meat to get rid of! You could feed a lot of people off that hog. Roasting that mother would be a chore.

That is not me in the picture, I read in Sporting shooter magazine that it was over 300kg, there is 2.2 pound to the kilo, so 600+ pounds.

Hhahahahahahah you dont believe the pic????????You havent been to queensland or the territory mate.WA also have some big grunters.I know you have some big tuskers in the US.And they are cranky big buggers.But then im not the one saying i dont believe the pic.When you come over look me up and i take you on a safari.I think a normal sized pig will shut you up once it has bailed you up bro.

Hogzilla how 'bout that one.

[irish murphy]

They are all big grunters.And under a normal hunting situation im sure who ever shot them would have a horn the size of the empire state building.The thing that gets me is when they position the shooter miles behind the animal.Its a load of shit.I saw a pic of a massive moose shot years ago.but the hunter was in the pic so far back it was ridiculous.We had a pic of a so called big cat shot in victoria last year.The shooter was sitting 5 metres by the look of it from the very large feral moggie that was hoisted into a tree from a rope.I call bullshit on a LOT of pics i see.But the one shot in australia was fair dinkum.I know blokes who saw it.

not the same pig as the one with the kid. A team of National Geographic experts has confirmed south Georgia's monster hog, known to locals as Hogzilla, was indeed real -- and really, really big.
They also noted the super swine didn't quite live up to the 1,000-pound, 12-foot hype generated when Hogzilla was caught on a farm last summer and photographed hanging from a backhoe.
Donning biohazard suits to exhume the behemoth's smelly remains, the experts estimated Hogzilla was probably only 7 1/2 to 8 feet long, and weighed about 800 pounds.

Buggered if i know about the other pictures. But the one i posted was Fair Dinkum. It was shot in the Pilbra region of Western Australia. Sporting Shooter magazine talked to the bloke that shot it (as did bacon busters magazine i beleive)
