It's proven to be an Urban Legend. The actual hog was killed in Turkey in 2005. Heres the story about the Conroe Legend and another picture of the hog in natural size.
[attachment 179783 d_b_26.jpg]According to a March 3, 2009 article in the Conroe Courier, no 1,800-pound wild boar has ever been seen near Conroe, Texas, let alone hunted, bagged, and photographed for posterity. Your average Texan feral hog weighs in at approximately 150 lbs., says a Texas Parks and Wildlife game warden quoted in the Courier. An exceptionally large one might tip the scales at 300.
In point of fact, it's doubtful there's a wild boar anywhere in the world that weighs 1,800 pounds. There have been reports of domestic hogs approaching or exceeding that size, but the largest documented specimens in the wild have topped out at 1,100 pounds or less.
Citing a report in a French hunting magazine, the Courier reveals that the boar in these pictures was actually a 781-pounder killed in Turkey in 2005 (the EXIF data embedded in the images confirms the photos were snapped on June 3 of that year). One visual clue

hogs for them to revert back to totally wild. I mean their body's change back to the wild boars with the huge tusks and killing ways. Three generations with hogs is a very short time.
Back in the 60's I was living in Highland Michigan and I would always buy my beef by the half from a farmer friend of mine. One morning my neighbor caught me out in the yard and walked over. He asked me if I wanted to buy some pork. I asked how much and when he told me I was might supprised. It was half the price I usually paid for pork by the half.
I asked what was up and he told me the story and told me not to let my wife or kids know. It seems his wife's uncles were old bachlors. They had a hog farm. I don't know if it was just hogs they raised, long time ago and I can not remember. It seems that one brother went out in the morning to slop the hogs. I guess that is what they call it
Anyway, I guess he had a heart attack while in the pen. Lots of pigs and some large ones.
Some time later, I don't know how long, the other brother went out to help his brother and found the hogs were eating on him. Now I don't know how much they had eaten but Jim, the neighbor said, "The hogs ate him" Well the brother went to the house and got his gun and ran out screaming and shooting them. Well the hog I got ate the brother or at least got the blame along with the rest.
I never told my wife until the thing was eaten.

They are allowed to 'harvest' them when ever they see 'em.She says they eat about one a month.
I believe tho that they are not the same wild hogs we have here on the mainland.
They may be a peccary that they have. They are smaller than ours.

It would come wrapped in brown paper like a meat cutter or grocery store. It usually came in slabs that were 5x7, 8x10 and sometimes 12x12. Most of the time it had hair on it and sometimes even a teat ! We just cut the teat out, slice the bacon into strips and burn the hair off in the frying pan. That was some of the best bacon I've ever had !
