1100 lb, 9' Hogzilla nabbed
Georgia Hunter Bags 'Hogzilla'
FAYETTE COUNTY -- An urban legend comes to life, and meets its death in northeast Georgia.
A boar weighing 1,100 pounds was shot and killed in a Fayette County neighborhood.
Residents say the wild hog had been tearing up their yards for years.
These so-called "hogzillas" have been spotted and killed in south Georgia in recent years, but the Department of Natural Resources is trying to determine if the pig shot in Fayette County this week is a state record.
People passing by the Coursey house are amazed by the boar hanging from a tree in the front yard. William Coursey, an avid hunter, shot the pig in a neighbor's yard.
Coursey says the boar is one of four that had been roaming the neighborhood, uprooting yards for seven years. He says the other three animals may have been killed previously.
He says he thought it was myth until now. Coursey and his son took the hog to a local weigh station, where it weighed in at 1,100 pounds. It's an estimated 9 feet long.
The Courseys believe the hefty hog may be the biggest ever, based on statistics they say they found in a local hunting magazine.

The "Hogzilla" that was killed a few years ago in Georgia, and featured on National Geographic, was in south Georgia. This pig was killed in north Georgia, about 200 miles away. 0 -
They were both top secret anti muslim hogs we were training to send to Afganistan to eat Osama and terrorize the anti pork extremists. It just might work if these people would stop shooting our trainees and recruits. 0 -

You are very correct, but yet they are still wild and can cause problems in areas due to the fact that they breed so fast.0 -
