Father, son bag charging 700-pound boar in North Carolina

Fox News

Click on the link above for the story. Looks like an escaped domestic pig to me.

Would think they could of got some better pics with today technology

From your link...



That is about as much of a Russian boar as I am. Yes, it is a pen-raised hog, feral, but not a Russian boar, LOL.

Nah, not buying it...

Big hog for sure! Wonder if they got it officially weighed? I found this quote the most interesting "The father and son utilized the steep terrain to drag the 7-foot, 4-inch hog until others helped moving it." The largest hog I've shot was over 300lbs. I had one person help me load it onto a hitch basket and we could BARELY move the sucker, I mean it was TOUGH! Looking back now I laugh at how we struggled and how that hitch basket was dragging on the ground!!

After my experience with that hog I can't imagine moving a 700+lb hog with two people, maybe we were just wimps!

Looks like they squatted 10' behind that pig for the photo?

wish had better reception. have ta wait ta watch video. it took several tries ta log-in. And i didn't log-out

I know, right?

Rock solid proof and I'm all in.
Badly staged pics and no scales - color me skeptical.

That fact that it was reported by Foxnews left me skeptical

Not everyone has crystal clean lenses east

Down at OSBWMA. Not sure, think it was feral hog. Thick area, it been awhile, & no scales. 60-80# hog stepped out. Tride ta get video with cell phone. it grunted, bluff charged, then 5#ers stepped out with another 60-80# hog. First one charged ta within 10feet, others turned & ran. First one followed. Was on trail, in thick area, & hogs came out on different trail. Few years later, had hog spin& run straight at me after firing around at it. Had to side step. Wounded or cornered even a deer will charge. dogs invaolved. theyll run at a person. Think theirs videos of that.

i got a picture of Bigfoot . Not very clear. Was shaking. He had a big gator across his shoulders. All i caught was a gecko.

look at the shadow of the boy and the pig there squatting at least 5 feet behind it

"Bruce estimated that the hog was about 30 yards away when it angled just slightly to expose its vitals. Bruce pulled the trigger of his .25-06 rifle and dropped the massive beast."

and how many times have you hit the vittles only to have the hog keep running I would have aimed for the head if it was charging

The Houston Chronicle had an article where a hunter killed an 800 pound hog also.

The story was in the photo section, another interesting story!

That isn't a clean lens issue. That would appear to be a still taken from video footage, fairly low res at that.

That's a nice hog, it may have started his life in a pen but he's been in the wild long enough to take on some of the wild look.
