I watched the special on National Geographic TV. It was no where near as large as the landowner and hunter stated. As they stated, about 8 feet and maybe 800 pounds. Still a large hog, but too big to get that way by living in the wild.

The hog showed DNA of Hampshire and Russian bloodlines. To me, he was mostly Hamp.

I believe somebody fed him to that size and then when he died he was photographed and used to sell hog hunts at Holyoak's plantation.

Why else would no one mount the head and/or eat the meat?

Talk about your big fish...uh, I mean "HOG" stories..

Always amazed me when these folks state weights as estimated..looks like they missed this one by 400 pounds or more... http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Guess you could say they missed that weight by a whole hog
