The article said:
The picture is all Griffin has to back up his claims. He and Ken Holyoak, owner of the plantation, buried the beast on the property and did not want to hassle with slaughtering it since the meat of large feral hogs is typically not very good.


Couldn't they just dig it up to prove their claim? Even if the flesh is gone the bones could still be measured.

1) That looks like a bunny.
2) Apparently they haven't heard of depth of field in Georgia. Or at MSNBC.

Call me if somebody shoots Stockula's one trick pony.

Exactly. The article says:

"The hog is nearly twice as long as the 6-foot-tall Griffin, who is seen standing next to it in the photo."

He's clearly not next to it. But why let the truth get in the way of a good story?

One of the things I found the most humorous was the description of the head.
Not to mention the fact, when asked why he didn't at least keep the head for mounting, replied "it was just too big".
WTF?!?! Now if i'm gonna stuff something and mount it to my wall... this thing better have the biggest head on the block, right? Too big? That's like saying Michael Moore's head wouldn't look good over my fireplace... it's just not true!!!

The article said it took a backhoe to lift it, which is also probably what dug the grave.

After looking at the picture, it doesn't appear noticeably fake. Check this out.



He's mostly behind it, but his arm is forward and his hand seems to be resting on its hoof. Here's even closer with my approximate outlines of how the gloves and hoof are related.

I saw this on yahoo... holly fuck.... hunter's dream if it's real. I wish the guy would have made more photo's.. maybe have it on the ground next to a messuring tape or something. 1000pd wild hog- that's gotta be a world record.

The fact that they didn't is surely the most convincing argument against it being real.

For the 'It's not real crew' the hog seems to be pulling the same trick Luke did to swing off the barge in RTJ, the rope doesn't look like it's attached to anything.

On the other hand, it's a cool story, so we should just say it's real, even if we don't believe it.

Also, finally, whatever happened to hunting boars with spears and dogs?

Okay, let's forget this particular hogzilla for moment.

Is anybody else weirded out by the whole concept of freakin wild 695 pound wild anythings running around foaming at the mouth?
