Geez.........you would need a truck axle to use as a spit to roast that little piggy!!!!

I suspect that in Alabama heat, if that pig was hung and not gutted and skinned right away, it most likely ended up on the garbage heap. Article also states that he took it to get weighed the next day. A shame to waste that much meat, but in that climate, maybe just not practical or economical to process it.

I've only ever hunted wild hog once, (if you could even call it a hunt) but my understanding is that the bigger the boar, the worse the meat tastes. I've heard it said that anything in the "monster" size would be downright inedible. Can't personally verify those comments, though I'd be willing to try!

What would that hog taste like compared to pork we get in the store. I know in the usa you can shoot those things at leasure. Be a great food source if they taste good.

All you need to say is "Boar taint" and all the meat nutzs will fade into the background.....

I never knew a pig could become so big. Bacon for a year in that one!

Indeed. Boar Taint. Read about it. Apparently there is a reason why pig farmers dock the males' nutz when they're small.

No good eating there sadly.

Hmm. Interesting. Says it affects about 20% of ma pigs. Wonder how one could tell without actually butchering first?
