Re: Whatta a Hog
While it's a good european boar, the way the pictures were set up and taken, it appears waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay bigger than it actually is. Chuck Adams would be proud.
This one keeps popping up like tires in a land fill.

Re: Whatta a Hog
Ya mean the guys are from the Little People's Convention?
Here's the description that came with the pix, "Over 1,800 lb. wild boar shot and killed in Conroe, Texas near the County Airport, East of I-45 and near the community of Cut and Shoot."
At least no one is claiming they saddled and rode it to death.

Re: Whatta a Hog
That's the first I have heard of it being from here in Texas
It took me a few minutes but try clicking on the "stalking" picture link.
They even take the time to put some salad under the jaw when propping the head up, those crazy Turkish dudes.
Little peeple big swine lol

Re: Whatta a Hog
That explains why three of the guys in the picture look, well, different - they are Turkish or European. The hog is still a huge beast, especially when compared to other images of "stalked" boars on the Nature Tour's website. I'll let the guy who sent me these pics know about their true origin.

I can guarantee that if it was from Conroe, TX I would have heard about it... since I live in Conroe just minutes from the airport.

Re: Whatta a Hog
I got this one about six months ago. It said that the boar was just over 1000 pounds and kiled in I believe Croatia. No doubt that it is a nice animal but no where near the size that it appears in the photos.

Forced Perspective.
Put the subject closer to the camera, put the other people behind the subject, makes it look huge. See also the Snake from Texas, and the other big pig photo.

Re: Whatta Hog
Those guys don't look like any Texans I know, and I know a bunch.

The truck does not look like anything in the US. Looks like a Euro 4 door truck

Re: Whatta Hog
This pig is all over the forums - it is from some eastern European guide service - and from what I can tell, that guy is sitting 6-8 feet behind the animal...not nearly as impressive as they'd like it to be.
