If that hogzilla pic is fake....

[hunt4genetics]

I am very computer un-savy
all I use my computer for is the internet.
The news services are reporting that that 11 year old kid in georgia that killed a 1000lb plus hog is fake. The pic, not the kid.
I would post the pic, but I don't know how.
But you have all seen it.
any way.
if that pic is fake, then someone has really mastered photoshop.

if you think it is fake, and have photoshop, please post a realistic fake pic.
I am just learning about photshop. The pic with the kid and the hog look real to me.

so
please post your most realistic fake pic please.



peace

its not photoshoped, all they did was get the kid to stand about five foot behind it making it look bigger.

 

[hunt4genetics]

Thanks for the pics pheno.
Maybe it could be real.
I wonder what the hog's diet was?

peace,

Maybe it could be real?They are both authentic,National geographic confirmed Hogsilla to be over 8 ft and 800 plus pounds."Superhog" is quite authentic and weighs 1051-1060 lbs at a little over 9 ft.What so unbelievable?800 pound hogs are all over the place although a half tonner is pretty impressive.When someone gets a 12 ft 1 ton hog,that will be something to wonder about.800 pounders are not uncommon

I am calling hoax. First of all, it doesn’t even look like a feral hog. Second, all the pictures look like perspective was used to make the hog look bigger. Thrid, I highly doubt an 11 yr old can handle a 350 grain bullet from a .50 caliber pistol. Fourth, hogs are not that fast runners, especially when wounded. Even an animal that size, if shot 3 times from a .50 caliber weapon would bleed to death before 3 hours or at least not be in shape to lead them on a 3 hour chase. Fifth, no one with any credibility has investigated this claim. And all you pig hugging people should shut up. Feral hogs cause farmers, ranchers, landowners, etc. huge amounts of damage each year.

And last. No real expert got a chance to look at it. National Geographic looked at the carcas of Hogzilla and said it was only 800 pounds.
These people had their hog ground into sausage and only kept the skull. They should have let an expert examine the remains before hand. That only shows they had something to hide.

Shit, if I shot the biggest pig I would want professionals to confirm before I destroyed the evidence.

Mmm, pig hunting,, 308mag, pack of hungery Pitt bulls, and an sack of buds. I remember the days..
I'm not much of a hunter, but my friends are, and they love them some swine hunt. Nothing like watching 4-8 pitt's latch onto a wild bore and jerk it to the ground, then walking up to the pig and cutting its throat deep, for the kill.
That kind of shit freaks me out,, and prolly the reason i dont hunt animals
What is the thrill of shooting something that dont shoot back? sorta like having sex with a dead person, right? lol...
If the hillbillies where smart they would have built a fence around it. Hillbillies love them a "fenced in area" anyway. And then charged people to see it.. like a petting zoo type of thing... I guess they got free bacon for a year or so though mmm. bacon.. Well hell, all this talk of bacon, i'm off to the kitchen. Peace, be well..

Well Hogzilla, the one hanging by it's legs, I believe was fed by the farmer on accident. I think it was the guy who owned the property it was shot on, but someone said (along the lines), that the pig was domestic but had escaped and become feral.* The pig more than likely got into the food that guy feeds his animals, which was very powerful. High protein, and calories or some shit, designed so the animals would get larger and larger. Can't remember if it was fish food or hog food....not sure. Anyway, National Geographic pretty much said, it was a big pig, but not a wild hog and the guy was kinda lying anyway.
This new one, wow. I have not heard about it, so I am just gonna listen to ya'll. But yeah, 11 year olds shootin' 350 grain .50 handgun???? I know the backwoods boys are big, but c'mon. Wow.

*One of the nifty thing about pigs, is their ability to revert to feral. A domesticated dog, when released into the wild to survive on it's own, will take a few generations to become completely feral. They still hold on to that domestication, always expecting to latch onto another family. Pigs?? Shit, within weeks their hair gets coarser, longer and darker. They loose that nice pinkish look and start to take on a more natural, earthy look. The look of a hog. Their teeth grow longer and more curved, their snouts become more stout. If a hog that was in a pin 4 weeks ago mates with a feral hog, then it is almost impossible to tell that the offspring are not 100% feral. IT is really pretty incredible, they are fantastic animals.

I do not actually spend that much time around pigs, so if I got any of that incorrect, please feel free to inform me.

The only thing I'm not sure about was when they DNA tested hogzilla,if it was a barnyard pig.I seem to remember it being some kind of feral hybrid,possiblt the offspring of a pig and a boar.Either way,that pic above you along with the pic of the 11 year old along with about 5 others I can pull up from down south here are all genuine Feral hogs in the 800-1200 pound range.EDIT Its not just down here someone got an 850 pounder in oregon recently.

Actually, Soilman, I saw a bunch of 5-600 lb feral hogs in Florida last time I went shopping at Wal-Mart there. Most of them were riding little electric carts and had their ugly toothless litters following them.

 

[Guest]

Now you quit makin fun of our elderly pops,that might be you in....2 years!

 

[Guest]

I swear pops,I thought you were talking about Pasco County at first lol,just north of Tampa 500 pound ferals are quite common,even in the walmart parking lots lol

 

[Mad Scientist]

Whooo! Shooting a pig from a safe distance! How brave! You'd have to be a real man to do that...

 

[Guest]

Did someone miss the part wher every part of the animal was turned into food?If any of you lived 150 years ago you'd be the outcasts,why try to make oucasts out of hunters shooting for food and sport?You can bet the wild boar hunters down here dont kill an animal and leave it to rot...EDIT and thats coming from a fisherman that never shot an animal or owned a gun in his life.I'm just not into trashing others lifestyles because I dont particularly agree with them.OOO bad bad animal shooter lol

 

[Pops]

Mad Scientist, if you had ever faced a feral pig out in the wild, you would shoot the nasty SOB from a distance, as much of a distance as you could manage. They can be very dangerous. I happen to love to fish,but I don't like to eat fish. I practice catch and release. I wouldn't think of trying that with feral pigs or wild boars.

I'm even chicken to mess with the fat,wild Florida redneck pigs that you see at Wal-Mart. I just get the hell out of the way of their electric carts and don't get between them and the potato chips.

 

[Guest]

Every county down here needs a feral hog catch and release program,catch them on the highway in the fuckin fastlane doin 20 and release them to their family with a fine and no license!O god Ima gonna be one in 20 yarns...EDIT This is neither a pro hunting or elderly bashing thread,just havin fun with old pops..

Most of the feral hogs in Florida are harmless as they have no teeth and are pretty stupid. You are mostly in danger of being hit with their Wal-mart go-carts or run over by their equally stupid litter of moronic kids. That is why Soilman shops after midnight, so he won't get propositioned by the big, ugly hogs with no teeth.
