Default What a hog!
I don't care what one says about body placement and optical illusions, this is one serious sized hog.

Sure, it looks bigger than it is. Take a look at the footprint in front of the belly... that thing is still huge!

I have no idea where the pic originates... it's an interweb thing

From Urban Legends website:
"pictures was actually a 781-pounder killed in Turkey in 2005 (the EXIF data embedded in the images confirms the photos were snapped on June 3 of that year). One visual clue — the "Nature Tours" logo on the side of a vehicle in one of the photos — indeed points to a Turkish hunting website on which the same images are displayed."

For comparison, while searching, saw a note that average hogs in Texas are about 150 lbs with a big one weighing in at about 300 lbs.

And there you have it from AO's own CSI sleuth. Thanks for the insight.
