Here is my trophy. I am supposed to have the mount back in 4 weeks and will post a better picture of him then. Just for reference, he was over 5 feet long and the hog behind him (that's me) weighs 380. All I had with me that day was the camera on my Palm Pilot and it was only 1 megpixel, so sorry about the bad photo! I'll get a better one up when I get the mount back. He was featured in the December 2003 GON.
I was hunting down in the swamp when I saw him. I shot him with a .30-06 behind the shoulder. He ran across a road and into the woods on the other side. I walked to where he crossed and there was a huge blood trail. I eased into the woods and he was standing there looking at me about 30 yards away. I started looking for a tree! I realized he was really hurt and did not come after me too fast, so I shot him in the shoulder when he turned broadside (I knew that head was going on the wall!!). He started limping around on three legs, so I popped him in the left ear with the last round I had with met that day. He hit the ground immediately that time. When I walked up on him, I could not believe how huge he was.
