Hunter bags enormous 500-lb wild hog in North Carolina

It's not everyday that you shoot a 500-pound beast.

Hunters in Bertie County, N.C., knew about the massive wild hog roaming around their woods when it was captured on trail cameras several years ago.

But Jett Webb finally managed to capture the animal near land leased by the White Oak Ranch Hunting Club.

"It was very surreal,” Webb recently told WNCN. “It was a shock. It was very humbling to say the least, when you walk up on a beast that big and you say, 'Oh my gosh. I had no idea that there could be something that big running around the woods of Eastern North Carolina.'"

Webb said his catch will feed his family for a whole year.

"We’re not going to waste anything,” he added.

Webb said he was "taken aback" when news of his catch made national headlines.

"I'm just kind of taken back by it just being a country boy from ENC trying to put a little meat in his freezer."

What more can I say? As Clyde Barnum liked to say, “there’s a fool born every minute”.

You mean dry, flavorless cardboard? I haven’t had a juicy pork chop in years and years. The only way to get one is to cook it like a pot roast in liquid.
