/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gifThis one cowboy shot a small hog and said "he aint very big but he aint goin no damn were though"! Good stuff.
 
That epesode was on a few months ago. They sure spin a great long story of mystery. That is until they talked to the rancher and he says " burried it over here. They dug it up and there was no head. The mystery thickened, well that was until the rancher said that he cut the head off and burried it over there. They dug up the head, it was still in ght sack he put it in. The beast was not as big as you'd think it was, but it was still plenty big. They could have done the whole show in about 10 minutes but stretched it out for a complete hour or so. The only interesting part for me was the tusks or teeth or what ever the BIG teeth on a hog are called had grown into complete circles in the pigs skull. I can't imagine how the animal ate anything.
 
Did you guys see the hog that was shot in FL a couple years ago? My mom sent me the pictures she got from the internet. It filled the bucket of the tractor they had it in. The loader couldn't hold it, they had cinder blocks under the bucket to hold it up. The loader bucket was showing the weight, by the curve on the bottom. I thought it was 900-1100lbs, forgot, got the pictures out in the truck glove box.T.20
 
This one wheighed 900#lol

Oh, it was ONLY 800 lbs and was 7.5 feet (standing) twelve stretched out (as pictured). That changes everything. By all means sell ALL your guns and let your children play in neighboring fields unattended. The NG and Snopes dispelled nothing. The corpse weighed ONLY 800 lbs. How much water weight was lost via decomposure? OH great and it was not a feral pig, but half feral, half Euro boar...that makes it safer...HOW?

Doesn't that drive you crazy.
You pay THEM to waste YOUR time.
Even the best shows do that.
I can get more hog stories from 10 minutes on PM than 1 hr. of TV.
For me, TV is obsolete.

I didn't really mine the filler. They talked to a rancher, they shower the damage hogs can/are making, they showed him killing a small hog, they didn't spin any of it in a negative way. The hogzilla part was more of a filler than the rest of it. Supposidly they were looking for some sort of proof that there was a super strain of hog developing in the area where hogzilla was killed. All in all it was interesting enough. National geographic can still put an interesting show together.
 
I think the main reason behind the ranch owner making such a big deal about Hogzilla was to increase the numbers of hunters, wanting to hunt at the owner's ranch.

It was a big pig, but the free advertising the property owner got was priceless.
