Came in to say bullshite on the location, but y'all have that covered.

Given his size and age, I'd put that hog somewhere around 580lbs.

Thing you learn on the OB:

Almost every thread that starts with "Pic of a huge _______, killled in ___________ that my _______ sent me", is almost always fake or have been mislabeled down the line.

Huge hog pics/stories always have something more to the story. Basically a truly wild boar that can only eat things off the land and has to chase sows and fight off other hogs doesn't get the nutrition to grow into massive proportions.

There is a really good interview Steven Rinella did with ranch manager, wildlife biologist and hog trapper Ben Binnion. He explains the hogzilla phenomenon in detail. If there was ever an authority on wild pigs, Ben Binnion is the man.

It's actually a two part interview with the first half discussing his success in growing some of the biggest whitetail deer in all of Texas.

I always think of the pic of the "gator" with a deer in it's mouth, which was taken on Caddo Lake, Lake Bruin, Lake St. John, Bistineau, and/or the water body closest to where you live in LA.

That would be my guess, we'd know if it was a 2 gen Tacoma b/c that trailer hitch would be plowing the ground.

I don't think so. The hitch location makes me thing it is something small. Last time I was in Brazil we had this funny little truck that looked a lot like a Brat, I'm willing to bet the truck in the picture is something similar.

Looks like the lines of a Tacoma, but the bumper is different

Yea I'm going to call bullshite on this one... Look at the landscape...look at that tree on the right hand side of the pic. Look at the location of the license plate on that truck. That isn't in the USA, much less Texas. Just my opinion.... but that's no legit, IMO.

Edit... Guess I should have scrolled down and looked at the comments first, before I stated the obvious
