Monster Pig
Being from the hills and hollers of Adams county I have had many animals through the years. Every year my brothers and I would take various market animals to the county fair, and though we were never really competitive I did set a record one year. I took a market hog to the fair that weighed in at a stout 315 pounds. It had one bad leg, but when it made it through the entire week of the fair it held the record for the largest pig to ever survive the entire week of the fair, some larger had died of heat stroke during the week since the fair is held on the second week of July. Now, knowing how utterly huge that pig was to me when I saw this story I about fell off my chair. I can’t imagine what I would do if I saw something like this roaming the woods of Adams County. Check out this picture and read the story below.

“Hogzilla is being made into a horror movie. But the sequel may be even bigger: Meet Monster Pig. An 11-year-old Alabama boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog his father says weighed a staggering 1,051 pounds and measured 9-feet-4 from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail. Think hams as big as car tires.
If the claims are accurate, Jamison Stone’s trophy boar would be bigger than Hogzilla, the famed wild hog that grew to seemingly mythical proportions after being killed in south Georgia in 2004.
Hogzilla originally was thought to weigh 1,000 pounds and measure 12 feet in length. National Geographic experts who unearthed its remains believe the animal actually weighed about 800 pounds and was 8 feet long.”
