Well, that didn't work too well. It starts to show the link and then disappears. Maybe someone more computer savvy can get this to show. WLOS news out of Asheville NC. Transylvania County hog killed. Video and story with the hunters and the hog. Very impressive.

7 foot 4 inchs?? If so he is a very tall man in the picture it showed of the hog hanging next to him.

Big hog, but being a skeptic there are some things that don't add up.

Never heard of a "Russian Razorback", is "behind the plate" a heart shot? And 2 people did not load a 700+ lb hog into the back of a full size truck.

I killed one that went 520 lb. It took 4 of us to get it in the back of a Ford ranger and it measured 5' 6" from its snout to its butt.

Big hog though.

I don't know about 700 #, but definitely a big old hog.

Yeah, I think the hunters got super excited and exaggerated a "little". Still, a huge hog that has the right look and color to be enough russian to make an excellent mount and memories to last a long time. Killed in the Pisgah national forest which is very mountainous and rough terrain.
