Hogzilla Carolina Style
Anyone that has doubts about feral hogs getting a strong hold here in North Carolina should check out today’s N&O. Donald Strickland took this huge pig in Nash County.
“He stunk like a rodeo goat,” Strickland said.
A backhoe was used to load the hog into Strickland’s pickup truck, and a trip over to the Tri-County Peanut Warehouse scale in Enfield confirmed a weight of 780 pounds. It measured 6 feet, 9 inches long from nose to tail.
Check out the rest of the story at the N&O although no records are kept on feral hogs it is believed that this is the largest one ever taken in the state.
