Why People Buy Babies Shotguns….

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Hogzilla is being made into a horror movie. But the sequel may be even bigger: Meet Monster Pig. An 11-year-old boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog his father says weighed a staggering 1,051 pounds and measured 9 feet 4, from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail. Think hams as big as car tires.

If the claims are accurate, Jamison Stone’s trophy boar would be bigger than Hogzilla, the famed wild hog that grew to seemingly mythical proportions after being killed in south Georgia in 2004.

Hogzilla originally was thought to weigh 1,000 pounds and measure 12 feet long. National Geographic experts who unearthed its remains believe the animal actually weighed about 800 pounds and was 8 feet long.

Regardless of the comparison, Jamison is reveling in the attention over his pig.

“It feels really good,” Jamison said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “It’s a good accomplishment. I probably won’t ever kill anything else that big.”

Jamison, who killed his first deer at age 5, was hunting with father Mike Stone and two guides in east Alabama on May 3 when he bagged Monster Pig. He said he shot the huge animal eight times with a .50-caliber revolver and chased it for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot.

    That is one SERIOUS damn pig!!!! The kid’s lucky he knew what he was doing…a pig that size could easily kill him and eat his butt for an appetizer. My God!!! Are there REALLY wild pigs that size roaming the countryside? Jesus H. Christ I’m NEVER going into Alabama woods!!!

    Now that’s some serious pork!
    Yea, these Alabama woods can be dangerous!
    Hopefully the possums won’t get that big.

    It’s actually a shame they killed it. It would have been nice to see alive somewhere. Granted, it might have taken a gallon of drugs to knock it out…

    Poor piggy.

    Was this “Pig Foot”?
