[edit] Summary

Source: Bill Coursey

Justification: Publicity photo released into the public domain by Bill Coursey, the person in the photo with the large hog that he killed, while hunting. The hog is dead, and thus no free alternative can be created.

Background: "My wife and son were driving home that afternoon, and they saw this hog eating water oak acorns in the neighbor's yard," explained Coursey. "We asked the owner if he'd like me to shoot it, and he said he did. So I went over there, and got in position with my crutches (a fireman, Coursey is recuperating from a broken femur). I was about 40 yards away when I shot it right behind the ear (with a Ruger 7mm/.08). It took one step back and fell over, and that was it."
