There is actually a national geographic special about that Georgia boar. I forget what they called him. But there is a picture and it looked like the human standing beside him was tiny in comparison. They determined the photo was doctored. But the person who actually killed the boar was a member of a hunt club and they buried him there so national geographic actually dug up the body and took measurements of the skeleton and skull parts etc and determined that altho it wasnt as big as it looked in the photo it was still humungous, the largest one on record. Considering that a horse seeing even a small domestic piglet for the first time usually goes berzonkers, I can only imagine the train wreck if you came up on a hog like that in the woods. I also remember as a child walking into our barn and seeing my Dad sewing up his hunting dog with fishing line. he had been opened by a wild boar in his whole belly area with his intestines hanging out, one eyelid hanging by a thread and countless gashes all up and down his topline. He lived! a success story from the wilds of north florida :) his name was sport and he died of old age :) Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
