Eleven-Hundred Pound 'Hogzilla' Killed in Georgia (FoxNews)
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. — A wild hog weighing eleven-hundred pounds, bigger than the near-mythical "Hogzilla" caught in rural south Georgia a few years ago, has been been shot and killed in a suburban neighborhood.
William Coursey, an avid hunter who shot the hog in a neighbor's yard in Fayette County in the suburbs south of Atlanta, had it hanging from a tree in his front yard.
The Department of Natural Resources did not know whether the hog, one of four tearing up yards in the neighborhood for years, was a record for the state. Coursey said the other three hogs may have been killed previously.
Melissa Cummings of the D-N-R's public affairs department said — quote — "We don't keep records on hogs."
The D-N-R said the wild hogs can be dangerous and urged that wildlife experts be called to remove the animals when they are spotted.
Two years ago, a team of National Geographic experts confirmed south Georgia's "Hogzilla" was indeed real.
They also noted the super swine didn't quite live up to the one-thousand-pound 12-foot hype generated when Hogzilla was caught on a farm the previous summer and photographed hanging from a backhoe.
The experts exhumed the beast and estimated Hogzilla was probably seven and one-half to eight feet long, and weighed about 800 pounds. The confirmation came in a documentary aired on the National Geographic Channel.
Daryl Kirby, an editor with Georgia Outdoor News, said — quote — "Nobody keeps official records. But it's one heck of a hog."

About 30 years ago, at the Iowa State Fair, I saw a pig that weighed around 1100 pounds, they had named it Flash. This pig pretty much layed on it's side and didn't move .

The difference between an 1100 lb farm pig and an 1100 wild hog is probably comparable to a 300 lb couch potato and a 300 lb NFL defensive lineman.

I don't know that I'd want to see either the hog or the lineman charging at me. Gino had mentioned he was invited to go hunting for these hogs the next time he's in Georgia. He may want to rent a tow-truck to bring along, just in case he bags one this size. Either that, or bring his daughter's boyfriend; let him lug that puppy back, that's alot of bacon.
