I received a picture of a huge hog today. Photo and story are below!!

How big of hog trap do you think I need for this one
The fellow in the pictures is Larry Earley, He lives about 30 miles
from
Orlando, in the very rural community of Okahumpka, just off the
Florida
turnpike in Lake County, Florida. 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 (as any Florida redneck 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 Florida usually
run
from 100-400 pounds with a 400 pounder being a monster. Because this
one
had been feasting on grain for several years it had grown to mamoth
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 may fireman and provided the homeless
shelter in downtown Orlando with a couple of meals
