#1 Where is .com when we need him with his photo art magic??? A MM face super-imposed on the hog would be a sight to see.

#3 This is a crock. They'd have stuffed that thing and made the state fair circuit, charging $1 a pop to see it.

#4 DF, maybe if they compare it's DNA to MM's your intial confusion may be explained. Has MM been in the GA woods?

#5 Forced perspective is a really cheap special effect.

#6 I wouldn't be surprised about a 1000-pound hog, but I do think that it's rather strange that the only evidence left is this photo. Somebody should have some teeth, there should be a skull left, and there should be some other evidence.

Three men netted an Alligator Gar in the Atchafalaya River in 1954 in Louisiana that was 16 feet long, and weighed amost 1300 pounds. There wasn't much evidence of the gar a year later, except for some scales - amost eight inches across. Still, there was some physical evidence, as well as photos. Hopefully someone has some physical evidence of this, and will come forward with it, or the whole thing will die a deserved death, true or not.

#8 this is not very believable...if they buried it then dig it up and give the carcas/bones to the local museum....but it will not happen since it is a fake

#9 I have seen a hog that was 820 pounds but it was domestic. It was around 8 feet long and was a boar used for stud services. I don't doubt, comming from South Alabama, there could have been one that big in the wild. A wild hog is something you don't want to come up on in the woods. Be sure to take some one with you 'cause you only have to run faster than them. I dated a lady for a while who killed a wild hog with a bowie knife. Good woman.
