Held up by a crane mounted in the tray of a 75 Series Cruiser.
The old ute had a definite lean to it.

At first look it was the size of a Brahman bull but then looking closer at the photo, you could see by the the shadow, that the "hunter", who was supposedly sitting just behind it, was actually about 10 foot back from it.

Yup, that’s what I thought too . Put something next to the pigs snout like a beer bottle for a size comparison.
I mean just about everyone knows how big a stubbie is right.....

Gamerancher wrote:A photo of it on the scales would put paid to any doubts. That model bow is 33" axle to axle, using that as a scale in the first pic, the pig is almost 8' long. Then he says he's 6' tall, in the pic lying beside it, it is shorter than him. It is indeed a very fat pig, just looks "amplfied" in the first photo. ( sit back a bit and crouch down )
I've seen photos of bloke holding a trout that looked to be about 20lb. Looked totally legit until I was shown the side-on photo with two blokes holding a pan sized fish held up with a piece of fishing line between them and the bloke who was "holding" the fish about 10' behind it. Well before photoshop was available. It did fool a lot of us.
