Hogzilla, Part 2

TWIT would like to congratulate Bruce Florence for shooting and bringing down Hogzilla 2.  Hogzilla 2 weighed 707 pounds and was over 7 feet in length. Bruce got Hogzilla 2 in Transylvania County, North Carolina last week.  The boar charged at Bruce, but when it turned slightly, it gave him a shot at its vulnerable side. The hunter shot it with his single shot .25-06 rifle. The boar continued running for only 20 yards or so, mortally wounded.  The dressed out portion of Hogzilla 2 weighed in at 580 pounds.  That's a lot of sausage and bacon. 

Bruce said that they've seen an even bigger Hogzilla on their trail camera; he estimates it to be over 1000 pounds.  He has already said that's next on his bucket list.  

TWIT wishes Bruce good luck on getting Hogzilla 3.
