I just recieved this in an email so don't know if it is real but sure looks like it to me. WOW!
Wow!
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 thought 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 (as any good Texan
would, and I say that with genuine affection.) 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 Larry is quite the
hero. He has fed many fireman and provided the homeless shelter in downtown
Waco with a couple of meals.
