Boy Bags Wild Hog Bigger Than ‘Hogzilla’
‘Hogzilla is being made into a horror movie. But the sequel may be even bigger: Meet Monster Pig.

Think hams as big as car tires. [..]
The hog’s head is now being mounted on an extra-large foam form by Jerry Cunningham of Jerry’s Taxidermy in Oxford. Cunningham said the animal measured 54 inches around the head, 74 inches around the shoulders and 11 inches from the eyes to the end of its snout.

Mike Stone is having sausage made from the rest of the animal. “We’ll probably get 500 to 700 pounds,” he said. ‘
