Man shoots mammoth 820 pound wild hog in his front yard

It took three shots to take him down. The giant hog hit the ground near the carport. The next day, Wade took the wild hog to Brooks Peanut Company and weighed it on the drive-thru scales. The hog tipped the scales at 820 pounds and had six inch tushes.

Saw that on the Drudge Report & sent it to my family & friends.

Whoa, whatta a whopper!

Thx for posting.:bounce:

Well i guess that answers the question about hogs n small calibers! Ha! 22lr looks down right reasonable on a 200lb hog now.

That is a hoss! What do you do with a pig that big....are they any good to eat?

I honestly think it would depend if its a rank one or not. That one looked pretty healthy in a few photos. If you have ever seen farm raised pigs, they get as big as small to midsize cars! I'd cut him:cool:

If ya read on in the article it looks like it's from the neighbors pen escaped a week before he shot it.

We used to kill Hogs with a .22 long rifle bullet on the farm years ago, many of them way over 200 lbs..Of course they were farm raised Hogs not wild or semi-wild animals..Never saw but a couple that needed to be shot twice due to a poor shot by the shooter. Most Hogs let out a low squeal, went down on their knees then rolled over on their side after the shot..

Sounds probable. That hog looks pretty clean.

many wild hogs I've seen have had some good mud caked on them. With heat and bugs, seems this one had good grooming habits.

When I first seen this I guessed it was raised in a pen , not only because of its size but mostly it tusks, in the wild they keep them worn down !

It appears the whetter (upper tusk) is broken or just worn down from old age. When this happens the cutter (lower tusk) continues to grow long such as seen in this hog.

Yes, in all probability the hog was farm/pen raised and had no fear of the man or dog.
