Read the story then look at the pic,
The fellow in the pictures is Larry Earley, He lives a few miles from
Waco, in the very rural community of Calvert. He has 20 acres of land
and on it, a few cows and horses. Mostly it's pasture land that is
fenced with woods surrounding him.
He is neighbored by a larger cattle ranch.
His neighbor has complained for several years that wild hogs had been
raiding his cattle feeders and salt licks.
Last month he saw what he though was a cow in his pond and went to see
if it was stuck in the mud and would have to be pulled out. When he got
close enough to realize it was hog, the thing made a charge at him. He
had driven his truck down to the pond and carries a pistol in it. He
got
his handgun and when it came at him again, he shot it twice and killed
it.
Wild hogs in Texas usually run from 100-600 pounds with a 400 pounder
being a monster. Because this one had been feasting on grain for
several
years it had grown to mammoth size. When Larry took it to the processor
it weighed in at over 1100 pounds!
The meat has no wild taste, as it was grain feed and the Larry is quite
the hero. He has fed many fireman and provided the homeless shelter in
downtown Waco with a couple of meals.
