This is the story as it came to me in email:
The fellow in these pictures is BOB LANCASTER. He lives about 30 miles from Houston, in the very rural community near Houston . 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 a 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 Texas 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 Texas 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 mammoth size. When Bob took it to the processor it weighed in at over 1100 pounds! The meat has no wild taste, as it was grain fed. Bob is quite the hero because he has fed many fireman and provided the homeless shelter in downtown Houston with a couple of meals.

Many times things like this will be found on Urban Legends Reference Pages
I love reading the stuff there.
Often better than the funny papers.
And here it is, the story is slightly different here.
