Re: Got this in an email
Tough to tell how big it is when the guy sits so far behind it.

Re: Got this in an email
There's a couple other pics with folks hiding behind the thing. The claim is it weighs about 1800 lbs.

Re: Got this in an email
seems kind of odd that they didn't get any pics standing in front or leaning a choice rifle on it. looks like purposeful lack of perspective. cool hog, though.

Re: Got this in an email
The ones with just the one guy look photoshoped to me. He (his head) just looks way too small!! Would be sweet if it is real though.

Re: Got this in an email
crazy. Two of the guys in King's pictures look like they are about in as rough of shape as the hog.

Re: Got this in an email
Wow. A new Hogzilla.
If you really care take the photo into photoshop and blow it up to like 300%. Look at the margins of the hog and see if the pig has been cut out of another photo and pasted in next to the guy. Check the boundaries of the hog against the grass/weeds.
Hogzilla was like 1200 lbs. 1800 is hard to swallow.

Well...a couple of those guys do look like some of my coonass relatives, lol! I think I'd rather meet up with Sasquatch than that booger...

Re: Got this in an email
OK, my interest was piqued. I googled the name on the truck door and came up with nature tours hog hunting based in Turkey and France. Check it out they have some huge boars on roids over there , nice photo gallery. Definetly NOT from louisiana or anywhere in the lower 48.

Re: Got this in an email
There is no way the three guys (not the hunter) in that photo of all of them together are from the US. Don't know if it's a photo shop but I spent enough time in Turkey to recognize the people over there. The guy to the immediate left of the hunter could pass for Albanian as well.

Re: Got this in an email
Those guys aren't from Louisianna.
Look at the rig and the emblem.
Something tells me New Zealand.

Re: Got this in an email
That isn't a vehicle you would see in the US. Maybe Aussies?

This is a hoax...I can't remember but they actually had an investigation on the Outdoor channel or similar show. It was photoshopped and it was a "farm pig" that went about 700lbs.
It was used to drum up business for a an "outfitter".
