Guide Chris Griffin bags a legendary pig known as Hogzilla that was killed after it wandered out of swamps along the Alapaha River. The river has long been a haven for swine that escape local pig farms and begin to live off the land. The land where the pig (technically, it was a hog) was shot is in Berrien County near the town of Alapaha, Georgia. |
