i read all the comments, and if its true that it took 16 shots and 3 hours to kill that pig, then thats Bullshit in imo. i did get a kick out of the negative comment section though, the idiot talking about going to hell for killing a animal. guess he did't read the passage about "getting your bow and quiver and go into the hills and hunt game for me"
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

There is a piece in today's Fort Worth Star Telegram on that kid and hog.... I agree, it looks like another domestic hog that someone posed for a wild one.... Come, on , like no one in Georgia would have killed that sucker in the wild...???? ( over the years... )

The article I read said it was taken in a "game preserve" so who knows what size that is...but I am sure it is fenced in.

I saw this on the news this morning, I think it was channel 40 cnn or could of been TxCN. They talked about it for a good 5 minutes. Kind of suprising to hear about an 11 year old boy shooting a .50 caliber revolver.

Maybe dad shouldn't have staged the pictures. In the other thread it starts with a pic of the kid holding the revolver over the back of the hog. In the rest, he's a good 4 to 5 ft back. Don't get me wrong, thats one big hog, but it's not 1000lbs.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

June 1, 2007, 7:31PM 'Monster Pig' shot by boy was named Fred, raised on farm
Associated Press
FRUITHURST, Ala. — The huge hog that became known as "Monster Pig" after being killed by an 11-year-old boy had another name: Fred.
Far from feral, the 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 today 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.
"We were told that it was a feral hog," Mike Stone told the Star, "and we hunted it on the pretense that it was a feral hog."
Telephone messages left today with Eddy Borden, the owner of Lost Creek Plantation, were not immediately returned.
The Blissitts said they didn't know the hog was Fred until they were contacted by a game warden for the Alabama Department of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries. The agency determined that no laws were violated in the hunt.
Phil Blissitt said he became irritated when he learned that some thought the photo of Fred was doctored.
"That was a big hog," he said.

two hogs bag a bigger hog!. i think its a shame that he promotes the hog kill like that. anybody who does any hunting know that it isn't much of a challenge to kill a pig on a 120 acre fenced preserve. if it was a wild killed hog that would be one story but any hog killed on a "southern hunting preserve" is going to draw so much attention that the truth will come out sooner or later.
its things like this that give hunters a bad name, especially people who hunt on legitimate high fence ranches.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I am surprised that none of our Texas High Fence operators have pulled a " Fed " yet... For me, any high fence hunting is just weak sportsmanship... We call them petting zoos.
Also, how can some one call thier self a guide and work on 120 acre petting zoo??? A real hunting guide is one that can put clients on free chase game, w/ no high fences...
A wild hog could never get that big in the wild. If they did, folks would have shot them already. The biggest wild hogs I know of, that where killed in North Texas. Run 418 pound full Russian Boar, killed in Truscott.( 4 years ago) And a Ranger Creek guide killed one around 440-450 lbs, some where near Seymour.( 2 years ago)
Has anyone killed anything larger than that? That were wild...
