Channel K-10, the NBC affilate in Sherman, just did a film clip on their Noon News about a huge hog taken by a Cross Bow hunter while deer hunting this last weekend. The hunter said he thought it was a cow coming thru the brush towards the plowed field he was hunting over out of a ladder stand. The hunter hit the hog twice from the stand, and with his last arrow hit the hog again with a double lung shot off the ground from short range when the hog got up to attack as the hunter approached the wounded hog. The clip showed the hog suspended from a front end loader's bucket at full vertical extension and was considerably longer than the 6' tall hunter. The clip also showed a spokes person from OF&G I think it was commenting on all the damage to crops and wildlife by hogs and the need to eradicate them.

Finding a pig that big in the wild is nearly unheard of! Not saying it cant happen but the odds are low. I cant wait to see the pics.

Ya'll go pull up the story online at the TV station's website...that's why I listed the source of the story I saw about an hour ago.

Yes there was some comment on a possibilty/probability that the critter was either escaped domestic raised, or born to an escaped domestic hog. The hog was mostly black with white bands or large patch's across the body.

Either way, one camera angle showed a lower right? cutter that looked exceptionally long, and then another camera angle with the lips down in a normal head on position and both the top & bottom cutters were umm I'm guessing prolly exposed 3-4"s or better. Never did see anyone with a tape measure or hear an explanation of how they weighed the hog or where in Oklahoma the hog was killed ...just a continual voice over by the talking head of "Gollleee...that sure is a Biiig Hog".

Understand, the total length of the film clip including all the interviews was prolly only 3 minutes of on air time....and I am staring almost speechless at the TV screen with my wife of 42 years yakking the whole time trying to tell me what to look at...as per normal! I hope the website has more film of this porker and a lot less grinning Aw Shucks face time & talking by the people on screen!

that looks suspiciously like a farm hog that escaped

specifically, it looks just like the hampshire hogs i used to raise..

Sooo. you're walking to the stand at 4:30 a.m., pitch black, you're using as little light as is necessary so as not to spook any deer, and you accientally walk up on and surprise THIS thing...it snorts and whirls to charge you.

For me...the question is not "will I soil myself?" so much as a question of quantity... eek2

Anyone want to debate this is a farm raised, pen type hog and not feral. Looking at the pic it sure doesn't look feral to me

Winston Brown of Rush Springs, Oklahoma faced mortality in the face of a nearly 800 pound wild hog Monday morning. Brown told KFOR-TV he knew there was a large hog in the area because of some recently discovered tracks, but that he had never seen the animal in the flesh.

That changed Monday when dawn broke. Brown was sitting in his tree stand when he saw what he initially believed to be a cow come into view. "It came up and the deer ran off."

Once Brown realized that it was a hog he shouldered his crossbow and fired. "The first arrow struck the shoulder plate," Brown explained. "He kind of grunted real loud and started popping his teeth. He turned and faced me. I think if I had been on the ground and he could have seen me, it would have probably been ugly."

It almost did get ugly when the monster porker rose from the dead when Brown made it to the ground. "When he came around that tree I shot him through both lungs, and I was headed for a tree when he went by, and he expired just on the other side of those trees," he said. "It was just me and him then."

Brown and wildlife officials believe that the 760 pound hog was probably domesticated at some time but had gone feral.

So what do you do with an animal that big? "I'm going to have him mounted and put him on the wall," Brown promised.

It's a feral domesticated hog if that makes since. It's obviously wild, because they have seen the tracks and it has tusks. It looks domesticated because of the typical hamp stripe. It's either an escapee or a descendent of an escapee.
