Georgia man kills 1,100 lb. hog

A wild hog even 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 the suburbs south of Atlanta, had the 1,100 lb. swine hanging from a tree in his front yard. The Department of Natural Resources says wild hogs can be dangerous and urged that wildlife experts be called to remove the animals when they are spotted. Two years ago, a team of National Geographic experts confirmed south Georgia's original "Hogzilla" was indeed real. They also noted the super swine didn't quite live up to the 1,000 lb., 12 foot hype. The experts exhumed the beast and estimated Hogzilla was probably seven and one-half to eight feet long, and weighed about 800 pounds.
