Another Hogzilla Caught Near Atlanta
A giant wild hog boasted to be bigger than the near-mythical "Hogzilla" caught in southern Georgia a few years ago has been killed in a suburban Atlanta neighborhood.

Hogzilla Legend has N.C. Contender
Remember the hubbub over Hogzilla, the mammoth Georgia porker killed in 2004?
That hybrid hog (part wild boar, part Hampshire) first was said to weigh 1,000 pounds and measure 12 feet long. The folks at National Geographic later dug up the carcass and estimated the weight at 800 pounds and length at about 8 feet. Those are just about the dimensions of a feral pig Donald Strickland of Whitakers killed in Nash County on Nov. 19. Let's call it Pigfoot.

These hogs don't surprise me overmuch, I need to find the picture of the one my stepfather killed with his .45. Sadly it was on a game farm, something I don't personally believe in, but I guess for the most part the one he went to was natural habitat with introduced animals, no "salting" for kills. (He wouldn't be interested in a canned hunt at all.) The boar he took down was somewhere in the 800 lb range from what I recall, it was huge. He was cut and wrapped in the same way you would a domestic hog and the meat was very similar, just a bit "richer" in flavor with very little fat so it took a bit of doing to keep it tender.
Sigh. Now I want pork chops. Or bacon...

Four of these things were damaging yards for seven years?
And isn't it illegal to hunt in a residential area?

I am fascinated by the Hogzilla stories! I remember we all thought the original Hogzilla was a hoax until MIT scientists dug up the remains and verified he weighed 800 pds and was a hybrid of wild boar and domestic with huge tusks. Wonder what happened to the Atlanta movie "The Legend of Hogzilla" from Lithium Productions--if it was ever released?

The thread title is a little off. Neither Hogzilla nor this hog were "caught" they were killed. I can't see anyone in their right mind trying to catch one of these things. Wild hogs are mean and very powerful.
