SWThomas.. I believe you're right. As I remember that pig was purchased from some couple that raised it from a baby. It had gotten to big or something so it was bought and hunted. That would be a monster big hog don't get me wrong. More impressive would have been watching that kid shoot that .50 caliber revolver. If memory serves me he was shooting a S&W .500 which is a monster revolver.
And this is old news.
DPH that 1800 pound hog would be something to read about.
