Eleven-Hundred Pound 'Hogzilla' Killed in Georgia

Here's one for all of the hunters...

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. — A wild hog weighing eleven-hundred pounds, bigger than the near-mythical "Hogzilla" caught in rural south Georgia a few years ago, has been been shot and killed in a suburban neighborhood.

William Coursey, an avid hunter who shot the hog in a neighbor's yard in Fayette County in the suburbs south of Atlanta, had it hanging from a tree in his front yard.

The Department of Natural Resources did not know whether the hog, one of four tearing up yards in the neighborhood for years, was a record for the state. Coursey said the other three hogs may have been killed previously.

Melissa Cummings of the D-N-R's public affairs department said — quote — "We don't keep records on hogs."
