Boy that story sounds pretty fishy to me! If you'd really shot a hog that big, would you care that the head was too big? That's like saying I shot a 30 point buck, but the rack was too big so I didn't mount it. I suppose if the guy's a guide & has shot of ton of hogs he doesn't care about the average hog, but if that's legit, it's anything but average.

Taek a look at the shadows behind the guys legs and then look for the shadow that should be thrown by the hog onto the guy. You don't see any, right? Gee wonder why? Cause it's a fake picture.

I do not know if that is real or not. I do know that a ranch in Texass had a 1000 pig last year and a six footed pig before that. I hunted that ranch for the price it was perfect my dad and I got a hog each and than the fishing was excellent. All meals and lodging included 300.00 pp. It was great. SUcky drive down there though.

Just read the CNN article on Hogzilla and it has to be the biggest bunch of talk I've heard in a long time. I guarantee those guys are laughing themselves to death over the few suckers who believe them.

I remembered this post and just saw an article on it so I thought I would post it.....looks like it was real afterall..

"By ELLIOTT MINOR, Associated Press Writer

ALAPAHA, Ga. - A team of National Geographic (news - web sites) 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."

Did anyone see that National Geographic forensic science show on proving the legend of Hogzilla on the NatGeographic channel a few nights ago? They dug up the carcass of this exact beast and took measurements and DNA samples. Guess this guy was a cross between a boar and a domestic hog.

Very very good show if it replays again.

Just checked Tivo and it replays at 2am on the 15th of August on NGC

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
