Early last week Winston Brown took his crossbow and climbed up into a tree stand near Rush Springs in hope of harvesting his first deer of the season.
Instead he came home with 760 pounds of wild hog. It took three arrows from Brown’s crossbow to kill the beast, which is perhaps the largest feral swine ever killed in Oklahoma.
That morning Brown had his eye on three does in the area when they seemed to be frightened off when the hog appeared.
‘I’ve seen a lot of hogs in this area, but nothing like the size of this one,” Brown told the Lawton Constitution. “He was doing a lot of damage.”

Wild hogs like this one and the damage they cause are whyy the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry has started a Feral Swine Directory to try to connect hog hunters with landowners who are willing to allow hog hunting on their land.
Application forms for hunters, trappers.........

They have a pic in the article. It's from back in 2011.

A group of us went to Bowsafari down by Coalgate probably ten years ago. One of the guys shot a giant, took several of us to load it up.....weighed just a little over 700lbs. Turns out the ranch manager had just bought it for a breeder, it busted out of it's pen and he didn't tell us.............he was pissed when we showed up with a squatted Z71! If we'd known, he'd let it walk, so it was his fault for not telling us. It was a just a big old hampshire like the one in the pic. See if I can dig up some pics(35mm, lol)

I agree this must of been a pen raised hog that got out and turned.
