Well I don't know if it was quite that big, but according to this a team of National Geographic experts have confirmed that it was real. It says the guy in the photo was a hunting guide so I wonder why they would just bury the hog? Maybe it was not part of a guided hunt or something, but if it was, then that seems strange. I will have to try and catch the documentary next time it comes on. I think it's coming on National Geographic channel again on Saturday.

Oh I just found another article that seems to explain why they buried the hog:

That still seems a bit strange though don't you think?

that is a little strange. if he is a hunting guide you would think he would have the thing mounted to promote his business. thats what i would do.

if you look at the hogs ears close enough you would see that it seems to be a domesticated hog that has been allowed to run wild. you can take a grain fed domesticated hog and turn it loose in the woods and in six months time it will develop tusk and take on the appearance of a woods born wild hog

ive hunted hogs my whole life. they are free rangers moving from one place to another eating root shoots berries and anything else they can find on the ground.in my opinion for a truly wild hog to get to 1000 pound he would have to eat an awful lot and not move....hence a pen. something just isnt right about the whole thing. i hunt a lot in ft stewart ga and if you take a 400 pound hog you could call it godzilla

my understanding is that the hog was eating 30% protein catfish pellets from a local farmers ranch by the ton full.the story aired on discovery not to long ago.check it out.
