Jeff's Pig  - 2003

Here are the details in Jeff's own words:
"
When they say things are big in Texas, Well they are.
    This is my first experience running into a wild hog (BOAR)and I hope it
will be the last one but I know it won't be. I took him down with one shot with
my 270 on a full run at me. Great shot if I may say so, (heart, lung.) He
lost the fight. We have a scale at the camp which goes up to 440 pounds. Before I
got him off the ground he pegged the scale at 440 pounds. Around a 500 pound
pig.

It happened in New York City  at the famous Central Park Zoo. If you look closely at the third picture
you can see the entrance for the 59th Street Subway Station.
The shadow to the right of the second
picture is the hot dog vendor.

invited a few out-of-town hunters to do the job.

Jeffpig5adj.jpg (228537 bytes)"I took him down with one shot with my 270 on a full run at me."   Now the
real story is that the pig was sleeping when he was shot.(See how his eyes are closed)

We also counted 18 bullet holes over his entire body.

Jeffpig6adj.jpg (176999 bytes)"He pegged the scale at 440 pounds"  The truth..... Four of them got on the scale
with the pig and it topped out at over 500 pounds.  The sad part is that the kids visiting the zoo now will have one

less pig to pet.
