Even though it was farm raised when a hog is turned loose from the holding pins into the field/woods it is then concidered a ferral hog. In this aspect it truely is a wild hog and no longer a pet.deerslayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280092809884128793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21678075.post-17601166068178841612007-06-01T09:54:00.000-07:002007-06-01T09:54:00.000-07:00Mike Hanback is reporting on his blog that the pig...Mike Hanback is reporting on his blog that the pig in question was actually a family pet, and was sold to the hunting outfit four days before the hunt where it was killed. <BR/><BR/>So I'd have to say it was a publicity stunt and that it has now probably backfired.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21678075.post-72395485510618980602007-05-31T17:06:00.000-07:002007-05-31T17:06:00.000-07:00This one is exceptional but yes, pigs can get very...This one is exceptional but yes, pigs can get very large. Especially males that have had a sheltered life with lots of good food. This one has been raised on a farm, so I hear, and then a year ago, or so, he was turned loose for the hunters. <BR/><BR/>-Othmar Vohringer-Othmar Vohringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878585333406793550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21678075.post-30837765697749561932007-05-31T10:34:00.000-07:002007-05-31T10:34:00.000-07:00I had no clue those porkers could get to that kind...I had no clue those porkers could get to that kind of size.

Having said that I enjoy reading your blog too and wouldn’t mind to link the two blogs together.<BR/>Anybody shooting a trophy of any kind is quickly surrounded by rumors and conspiracy. But in this case I do have to fully agree with your statement.

It's a pay-to-shoot place that sells "wild" pigs by the pound on the hoof.<BR/><BR/>What that tells you is that this hog was trucked in, because there's no way this animal was not spotted before then. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line: PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.com
