Alabama pigs!
      #22869 - 30/12/04 02:27 PM

Hello folks,

I have a friend with whom I sometimes hunt feral pigs in Alabama. He jut emailed me this picture. That's not my friend in the picture, and he didn't send an explanation. I don't know who it is. The message was, "Let's go hog hunting - 1100 lbs."

I'm ready to go hog hunting! We usually do it in February.

4seventy,

Here's the other pic that he had attached to his email. Same hog, I assume.

I should have more details when he responds to my reply.



They do get some big ones down there.

I like the bow in the front-end loader from the weight.

FWIW The fellow in the pictures is Larry Earley. He lives about 30 miles from Orlando, in the very rural community of Okahumpka, just off the Florida turnpike in
Lake County, Florida. He has 20 acres of land and on it, a few cows and horses. Mostly it's pasture land that is fenced with woods surrounding him. He is neighbored by a larger cattle ranch. His neighbor has complained for several years that wild hogs had been raiding his cattle
feeders and salt licks. Last month he saw what he though was a cow in his pond and went to see if it was stuck in the mud and would have to be pulled out. When he got close enough to realize it was hog, the thing made a charge at him. He had driven his truck down to the pond and
carries a pistol in it. He got his handgun and when it came at him again, he shot it twice and killed it.

Wild hogs in Florida usually run from 100-400 pounds with a 400 pounder being a monster. Because this one had been feasting on grain for several years, it had grown to mamoth
size. When Larry took it to the processor it weighed in at over 1100 pounds! The meat has no wild taste, as it was grain feed and the Larry is quite the hero. He has fed many firefighters and provided the homeless shelter in downtown Orlando with a couple of meals.

Yes, the pig in the front end loader is the same pig.

The really bad thing about this photo of a guy holding a handgun and an 1,100 pound pig is that it's gonna touch off a whole new flurry of posts about using a lever action Marlin in .45/70 for buffalo hunting!!!

I drive through there all the time on my way to Orlando, I should have been able to see that thing from from the turnpike!
