MONTGOMERY, Ala. - 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.

Through it all, there was the fear that the animal would turn and charge them, as wild boars have a reputation for doing.

"I was a little bit scared, a little bit excited," said Jamison, who lives in Pickensville on the Mississippi border. He just finished the sixth grade on the honor roll at Christian Heritage Academy, a small, private school.

His father said that, just to be extra safe, he and the guides had high-powered rifles aimed and ready to fire in case the beast, with 5-inch tusks, decided to charge.

ya...I think so, too...

If that's not trick photography? Kid is lucky to be alive, for one...

I hear you re the caliber...I once had a .444 saddle rifle, ie, lever action that would slide in/out a scabbard easily. I believe it was the largest caliber lever action available at the time (may still be, I dunno)... anyway, the recoil was stout enough to keep a grown man from "plinkin' " for sure...

Democrat Targets .50 Caliber Revolver for Nationwide Ban

By Michael L. Betsch
CNSNews.com Staff Writer
February 17, 2003

(CNSNews.com) - A well-known gun maker recently introduced a powerful new hunting revolver that is said to have no equal in terms of firepower.

But within days of introducing the Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum at an industry-wide trade show in Florida, an anti-gun Democrat promised to seek a nationwide ban on the product.

"It's hard for me to rationalize any particular need or purpose" for the 500 Magnum, said Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.). "I think guns are made to kill people. That's my opinion."

Asked if he would seek a nationwide ban on the 500 Magnum, Davis replied, "Yes, indeed."

Billed as the "most powerful production revolver in the world today," S&W claims its new 500 Magnum cartridge produces nearly three times the muzzle energy of the .44 Magnum round, one of the most powerful sidearm cartridges available.

But Davis said the .50 caliber revolver, which weighs 72.5 ounces and has an overall length 15-inch has no purpose in society except to cause injury and death to humans, dismissing the manufacturer's claim that it is intended for hunting wild game.

"if that's real" is the question...

i am skeptical...

i've seen farm-raised hogs get that big, and the hogs down here are descended from farm raised stuff...

according to some historians? the Spaniards brought them with them live "on the hoof" as far back as the early 1500's. When the expeditions went inland? Some escaped, and they carried diseases. This seems to account for a lot of the Native American deaths. It also may have exposed the Natives to less virulent forms of diseases and helped some survive....

you can take hogs here anytime, except on the wildlife refuge? there you can only take them when you are hunting something else...

Pig was a monster, but he wasn't wild

FRUITHURST, Ala. - The huge hog that became known as "Monster Pig" after being hunted and killed by an 11-year-old boy had another name: Fred. The not-so-wild pig had been raised on an Alabama farm and was sold to the Lost Creek Plantation just four days before it was shot there in a 150-acre fenced area, the animal's former owner said.

Phil Blissitt told The Anniston Star in a story Friday that he bought the 6-week-old pig in December 2004 as a Christmas gift for his wife, Rhonda, and that they sold it after deciding to get rid of all the pigs at their farm.

"I just wanted the truth to be told. That wasn't a wild pig," Rhonda Blissitt said.

Jamison Stone shot the huge hog during what he and his father described as a three-hour chase. They said it was more than 1,000 pounds and 9 feet long; if anything, it looked even bigger in a now-famous photo of the hunter and the hunted.

that makes sense NR...

that thing was probably fed growth hormones, antibiotics and anti-parasite meds to get that big...

the wild hogs 'round here don't get that big cuz they aren't given all those "benefits"...

i used to hunt wild pigs on the outerbanks of NC too... and we had some bigger than 200 lbs, but they were fairly rare....

here's other examples: wild "house" cats avg lifespan is about 2-3 years..

housecats lifespan 10-20 years....


Maccaws raised in captivity? 70 years..
wild? 30-40 years....
