820lb Hog Killed In Alabama

Six inch tushes?
How about six inch tusks which I believe was the intent

No, "tushes" was the intended. You are speaking English and he is speaking Southeastern United States of American. An elephant in a Tarzan movie has tusks but a wild pig has tushes. It's a colloquialism that is almost always referenced in the plural. For example you would not say tush but "one of them tushes" if you are trying to be singular. A wild pig with six inch tushes will render you into a handful of carnal shoestrings about as quickly as a shark.

^^Yup. Not only would it kill you dead it'd also eat you....they're omnivorous.

Hopefully just the head... I'd hate to see all that fresh pork roast wasted...

They'll have to share with one that big, I bet when the butchering is done that'll be about 200 lbs of meat. They taste good if you have a smoker, the only way to make the meat tender is hours over low heat. If you tried frying/baking anything off that guy you'd end up with gamey cardboard.

That's an awful lot of pulled pork sandwiches...

Well then, it appears that I am lacking in 'Southernese' despite spending some time in Alabama, that is definitely a new one on me

It does seem sometimes that English is not spoken in many parts of the southern USA. However, according to the Merriam Webster dictionary, "tush" derives from a Middle English word tusch, and Old English tusc, and can be dated to before the 12th century, and referring to "a long pointed tooth."

What is pulled pork actually pulled THROUGH?

What did he use to shoot it, an elephant gun?

3 shots from a .38 revolver.......not by any means a light caliber but definitely not the first thing you'd want to shoot large dangerous game with. Can't see where he hit it but I can only assume it was in the head. Anywhere else would've just pissed it off.

Pulled pork is from the shoulder (which is for some reason referred to as the "Butt"). Take that big slab of muscle, smoke it for about 8 hours so nice and tender, then you pull it apart until you end up with a pile of shredded deliciousness. Throw it on bread and enjoy the best sandwich of your life.

Oh, to live where bacon randomly wanders onto your property, and you are not only allowed but encouraged to harvest it. Sigh. . .
