Southern logic at it's finest:

"We killed it because we didn't want to take a chance of him getting away. Somebody else would have shot it."

Where is that Hog hang? I mean if he weight a thousand pound... you cant hang him with a single rope on a branch. /Watson

That picture doesn't seem right to me...

It looks like the hog is much closer to the camera than the guy creating the illusion it is almost twice the mans size.

Besides the fact that someone else would have shot it (bragging rights DO count) a hog that big would be quite dangerous to leave roaming the woods, hogs being mean and aggressive as they are.

The picture does look like forced-perspective though, and saying they can't prove it because they buried it sounds fishy too. Why couldn't they just go back and dig it up?

Well, it is a boar, but in the pic that guy is standing in a ditch and behind it a little. Somebody at snopes manipulated the pic to move the guy up and determined the hog was closer to 7 feet long and maybe 800 lbs. Still big, but nowhere near the "1000 pound 12 foot long monster" being exaggerated all over Georgia currently.

Oh yeah,
