catchdog,
a polygraph is in the works. It should eliminate any cheating.
There is a lot of talk about the big hog, and his position in the hog market. What many people don't know is that they have some excellent hunting grounds that consistently produce huge barr hogs.
The head dude on this site has a similar honey hole (or so I have heard) that also produces huge hogs. They are out there.
I will try to get some pictures of the big dude online that might show him a little better. The pictures I have of him show a ripped ear, and in one I have seen blood behind the ear as well as bite marks in the arm pits.. The hog was huge no doubt, I personally have no suspicions of foul play.
THat brings the next point. If hogs from a game fence don't count then why should BARR hogs count. There are very few natural barr hogs. I have caught 1 barr hog since I have been hunting... EVER. IF you hunt places that catch hogs, cut them, and release them to be caught again that is the same as getting them out of a game fence.
I bet for every barrow we catch (after cutting them) we missed or will never get 5-8 of the others we cut. I think leaving them out is throwing to small a net on the competition
