    Just goes to show you how stories become distorted as when my Missus forwarded the picture to me there was commentary about it killing dogs but not unsurprisingly no mention in that article. And for the sceptics no photo of a skull either.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    If you look at the rear axle it's right down on its springs, which is where all the weight is.

    Im for legit
    The 300kg isnt being hung from the jib - its touching the ground - there will be bugger all weight on the jib,
    As soon as it leaves the ground, the weight it transferred up to the end of the jib, thus creating the transverse movement from the load, hence why the truck doesnt look like it has 300 kgs on it.
    Watch a container ship using its cranes to lift a container, soon as that box leaves the ground the boat heals right over, and visa versa when it touches the wharf

    Im telling you that the whole load isnt applied to the jib until it leaves the ground
    A chain is not self supporting where a carcass is, to a much greater extent
    More-so if rigor mortise has started
    Thus an explanation as to why 300kg of load is not being applied to the crane jib - as it isnt....

    Regardless, thats a big pig an not unrealistic
    Our HUGE farm sow became 180kg of sausies after she snapped at the vet giving her a jab after her piglets. Broke his femur
    She had a noose over her snout attached to a Hilux towbar with the brake on and in gear - and dragged it while getting the jab, before breaking the rope and then chomping Paul..
    I dont think I'd want to be in a confined area with anything bigger than 60kg myself - let alone tusks..

    Yes it would. I have one of those that is a family heirloom. My father's first rifle from when he was a boy. Still in working order but I wouldn't want to piss that particular pig off with it.

    There was a boar similar to this shot down south some time back, i read it in a pig hunting mag maybe 10-12yrs ago

    Dont quote me, but from memory it could have been canterbury area, it was shot buy a yank trophy hunter that had shot his deer species and had a day left so decided to hunt a billy goat, his guide saw a large rock move and they decided to target it when saw that it was a pig, 500-600lb from memory,8 odd foot long aswell, tan and black
    Ill see if i can dig the old mag out

    A pig hunting mate has a jaw he found out the back of his place, local to us, it is the size of a cow jaw, twice the size of any of his good jaws

    Age plus food plus genetics.

    Your average wild pig in a sty gets to about 60p pretty quick then you just feed and feed for Piss all growth.
    Put a Durok in that pen and watch the bacon grow!
