COMANCHE COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) - The battle over "Boarzilla" is on. The nearly 800 pound hog captured in Comanche County is creating lots of buzz. Boar hunter Blaine Garcia couldn't believe his eyes when he saw what he calls, "Boarzilla."

Garcia walked up to the giant hog and says, "Once I got around the front of it... it actually charged at me." He called a friend and they chased the beast over 20 acres with two dogs. "I ran in and grabbed a hold of the hog with the help of Wyatt Walton. We wrestled it for about five minutes." They tied it up and found out the pig had escaped a pen sometime ago. "We've actually come to some conflict with the hog.

There have been several people who have tried to claim the pig is theirs." Right now, Garcia is making sure his prize pig worth around $2400 gets 24 hour care.
