Cute little Texas pig ...That was killed in the town of Cut-N-Shoot TX. We call them Piney Wood Rooter's.
There was a documentary on about a month ago about these things growing up so rapidly in the US . They're all over Georgia , Alamba, SArkansas, Texas , Florida , and other states. You ever wonder what happens to those people that just leave home and disappear but their car is found out on a dirt road? Between bigfoot and these monsters, I think we know!
Killed by a Medical Radiology worker...What would you do if this beast was coming at you? Run for dear life? Climb a tree? Or simply get run over?
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.
Yep......only in Texas ! We were taught to stand still because their eye sight is poor. By standing still they probably would not see you and walk right on by. And No you can't out run them!! Look at how tall the grass and weed's are. How fast do you think you would be running thru that? I don't know about Ya'll but I'm a fat slow joker that would fall flat on my face after a few step's.
Pork Chop Anyone?
Rumors of giant hog turn out to be bull
Widely circulating Internet rumors and photos of an 1,800-pound wild boar shot near Conroe are untrue, officials say.

Despite Internet rumors and widely
circulated e-mails claiming a medical radiology worker shot a mammoth
1,800-pound wild boar on the eastern outskirts of Conroe, officials say
it is not true.
The Courier received an e-mail – with three
photos attached – stating the giant hog was shot and killed near the
Lone Star Executive Airport.
East County residents have reported wild boars destroying property and crossing high-traffic areas for years.
Precinct
4 Constable Kenneth “Rowdy” Hayden said a family member e-mailed him,
writing the mammoth boar’s shooting occurred in Hayden’s precinct.
“I got an e-mail about one week ago that said it (the boar)
was killed in northern Louisiana,” he said. “My sister in Rockport told
me she heard the boar was killed in Conroe.”
Wild hogs have been
rooting up ground and destroying property in Precinct 4, but an
1,800-pound hog has not been reported in the area, Hayden said.
The real story – if true – may have a more international flavor.
According
to a French hunting magazine published in 2005, the boar was shot in
July 2005 in Turkey by hunters on an expedition hosted by Nature Tours.
A
.300-caliber rifle was used to bring the beast down – the largest
reported boar in Turkey, weighing around 781 pounds – the magazine
reported.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Warden Dean Fitzpatrick
said wild boars in Montgomery County are considerably smaller, and pork
of that magnitude would have to be brought home from several animals.
“The
largest boar I’ve seen in Montgomery County was between 300 to 350
pounds, but that’s not to say they get bigger than that,” he said. “The
wild hog population in the county has expanded dramatically through the
years, but the average adult hog will weigh around 150 pounds.”
Just
last year, an 11-year-old boy killed a 1,051-pound hog, measuring 9
feet 4 inches long, according to stories and photos. It could be the
biggest pig ever found, surpassing the mythical “Hogzilla” killed in
Georgia in 2004. According to reports, National Geographic experts who
unearthed the remains of “Hogzilla” believe it was around 800 pounds and
8 feet long, not the 1,000 pounds and 12-foot-long body it originally
was believed.
While wild hogs can become charge when cornered,
Fitzpatrick said their first inclination will be to avoid human contact,
if possible.
