Real or Shopped?

Jamison Stone's father says the hog his son killed weighed a 1,051 pounds and measured 9-feet-4 from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail. Think hams as big as car tires.

Looks a lot like the one posted from Georgia a few years ago. Both animals shot by a young hunter with a 50 caliber revolver. I suppose it could happen but I have my doubts.

It's just convenient that there aren't many witnesses to it.

Shopped.

 

[sheikss]

Not real.

 

[CPTNQUIRK]

Definitely shopped. An animal that big would weigh well over a ton. That thing looks bigger than my angus bull and he's pretty good sized.

 

[sokpoke]

Could not be real. Shopped. A hog that size would have to weigh 2,000 lbs. Doesn't happen.

I got a baby hog this morning with some 00 buck shot. She didn't weigh more than 10 pounds.

It may or may not be "shopped". There is a lot of stuff you can do with a camera to make dead stuff look bigger. Like, holding a fish way out in front of you instead of up close to your body. Same with a set of horns.

It looks to me like the pig is pretty close to the lens, and the kid is about 20 feet behind the pig.

Ever seen a pic of someone pushing the leaning tower of Pisa? Same principle.

Shopped. The animal in the picture would be a LOT longer than 9'4".

Not so sure about that. I agree the photo is shopped but a hog that is 9'4" nose to tail is a monster and could easily weigh that much.

I have seen 700 pound boars (domestic), and I can tell you that, relative to the boy's size, the hog in the picture would have to weight 2,000 pounds. Hogs do not weigh 2,000 pounds. Impossible. Shopped. Non-debatable.

Looks 20 foot to me. Look at the size of this woman next to a 12 foot shark for comparison.

That is a poor perspective for comparison.

Uh oh... NOT shopped. But also not thousands of pounds.

I don't know what my ex-wife was doing in North Carolina, but I'm glad someone's bagged her.
