The next day, he took the animal to Brooks Peanut Company to weigh it on a drive-thru scale. He was shocked to see it weighed a massive 820 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>Seago runs a taxidermy business and often hunts deer recreationally. Although he\u2019s seen wild hogs around the area, he\u2019s never seen one that size.<\/p>\n<p>Feral hogs are commonly found in Alabama and are considered an invasive species. The animals breed quickly and have few natural predators, so they graze on indigenous plants and destroy the natural habitat. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, hogs cause $800 million in agricultural damage each year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\"><picture class=\"is-loaded\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MTkwMzEwNTk4NjkxNTMwMTMy\/creature3.webp 380w, https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_533\/MTkwMzEwNTk4NjkxNTMwMTMy\/creature3.webp 533w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 533px) 533px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MTkwMzEwNTk4NjkxNTMwMTMy\/creature3.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_533\/MTkwMzEwNTk4NjkxNTMwMTMy\/creature3.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 533px) 533px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"m-detail--tml-image m-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/t_share\/MTkwMzEwNTk4NjkxNTMwMTMy\/creature3.jpg\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Wade Seago posing alongside the 820-pound hog that's suspended from a tree branch, Photo credit: Boris Kasimov\/Flickr, Wade Seago\/Facebook (2)\" width=\"533\" height=\"960\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MTkwMzEwNTk4NjkxNTMwMTMy\/creature3.jpg\" \/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"m-detail--tml-image-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"m-detail--tml-image-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<p class=\"tml-image--caption\">Wade Seago posing alongside the 820-pound hog that\u2019s suspended from a tree branch, Photo credit:\u00a0Boris Kasimov\/Flickr,\u00a0Wade Seago\/Facebook\u00a0(2)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Seago told The Associated Press he will stuff the hog and display its head and shoulders at his taxidermy shop.
