How would you like to run across this in the woods????? The hog was reportedly killed in Arkansas very recently close to where they hunt... The man in the picture killed him, took 3 shots from a 7 mag. The afternoon before, he saw this hog eating on the side of the road. He pulled over, and when he slammed the door on his truck, the hog spooked, and charged him. He rammed the side of his truck and put a huge dent in it and popped 2 holes in the metal where his tusks hit. He went back in camo the next morning and sat by a fence. The hog came out and he shot once and the hog turned and looked at him. Shot him again and he went to his knees and got back up. Shot him the third time and put him down. The rest of the story is the picture. He weighed over 800 lbs.
It looks like I am going to start copying annie's post, she tells something and I add to it. This is not the original Arkansas razor backs. My father helped hunt them in the mountains above Carrollton Ar.when he was a young man. This is a tame hog that got loose and went wild. I know this happens because in 1963 daddy killed a wild boar hog on our farm near dry creek.
I don't remember what he said it weighted but he sent me a slap of salt bacon to California from that hog and the fat meat was 8 inches thick.
That fried meat and a biscuit was might fine eating.

Patsy, I think they have doctored that photo to make the old razor a little larger than it was.
Granny Renfroe lived in the day when the hogs ran wild in Newton County and were fattened on acorns. She said they were delicious.

That looks and sounds like a feral hog. I'd be scared, I know, if I were to run across something so big and wild. But I guess I'll still go hiking in the woods, just the same.
Thanks, Patsy, for posting a REAL HAWG to go along with the cement one in my post today.
My son just happened to be here when I pulled this up...he caught a baby "pineywood rooter" 2 weeks ago....she has become his pet now following him everywhere...he even takes her to work!! SS#3...I dont think it is a doctored photo...they have been killed bigger than that!!
Oh my goodness, that thing is HUGE! I certainly wouldn't want to meet that in the woods or anywhere else!! WOW!
