My Hogzilla Is Bigger Than Your Hogzilla
January 6th, 2007 by The Brewmaster
A giant wild hog boasted to be bigger than the near-mythical “Hogzilla” caught in southern Georgia a few years ago has been killed in a suburban Atlanta neighborhood. The hog hung from a tree Friday in William Coursey’s front yard, who claims to have had it weighed at a truck weight station where it clocked in at a lean, mean 1,100 pounds.
While the state of Georgia doesn’t keep official records for wild hogs, Coursey feels he’s currently the title holder for Biggest Wild Hog Killed, which can apparently be worth quite a large amount of prestige in certain Southern states. The original Hogzilla was reported to be 1,000 pounds and 12 feet long, but that claim was debunked by a National Geographic team that dig up Hogzilla’s corpse and estimated he was likely more along the lines of 8 feet long and about 800 pounds.
And now you probably know more than you ever wanted to know about damn big hogs.
