"A hunter in southern Alabama bagged and tagged the trophy animal of his life when he discovered an 820-pound wild hog on his front lawn. Wade Seago, a deer hunter, and taxidermist in Samson said he knew something was up outside his house July 11 when his family’s dog started barking and wouldn’t stop."

That's a biggin!

Big Hog. Would love one of those shoulder butts for the smoker.
BTW lots of bacon on that fat belly.

Not too far from where "HOGZILLA" was killed back in 2004.

Pretty amazing; he was probably tearing up everything around too.

IDK, around here we seem to kill mostly everything with cars. I'm not kidding.
Thinking anything less than a 12ga slug wouldn't be quick enough to penetrate that beast.

Grandpa's M1 Garand and M2 ball ammo would do the trick, too. wink

According to the article he used a 38 spl revolver!!!!!

Something that size,I would have used a 12 ga with slugs for sure.

If I would have tried to use a 38 spl,the hog would still be roaming around just fine and I would be dead.
