Goin hog wild
Last Sunday, I wrote about a story I wished we'd done. This Sunday, there's another, although we had the photo inside the paper today.
An 11-year-old boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog his father says weighed a staggering 1,051 pounds and measured 9 feet 4, from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail. Think hams as big as car tires.
The hog's head is being mounted by Jerry Cunningham of Jerry's Taxidermy. Cunningham said the animal measured 54 inches around the head, 74 inches around the shoulders and 11 inches from the eyes to the end of its snout.

Must be a really slow day at the N&R to post this earth shaking news item. I ran into the same story the other day while researching Past Pigs and political religious corruption in the 13 th century.
" 1000 pound French Hog bags 200-pound wild French King Phillp the Fair" *Paris Babbler 1307 AD
An 1000 pound French Boar used two massive 5 foot tusks to to kill and spear the King of France yesterday. The King was on a hunting trip when his court suddenly disappear from the King as he appoach the Hog. A Court Jester said that the King got off one shot from his recently new shotgun he had taken in a Religious RICO dispute with the fame Knight's Templars. The shot hit a limb and bounce back into the King right eye blinding him from seeing the Boar attacking him. His Queen says that the King was only 29 years old and in the prime of his life and work out with weights and bunk up to a staggering 200 pounds and measured 5 feet 4, from the tip of his crown to the base of his tailcoat. Think Treasure as big as chariot wheels and you too will have payback from those who you stole it from.
