Hogzilla II

Is this Hogzilla II? Did it really weigh that much?

You be the judge.

Picture looks funny because they put the pig far enough into the foreground to exaggerate it's size.

I call bullchit.

And while it may be a damn hog, if the kid couldn't kill him with one shot, he shouldn't have been hunting it and he needs to learn some hunting ethics. Shot it nine times before it died, WTF, over.

I believe that feakin' boar being as big as they claim, however I do NOT believe any 11 yr old fired any .50 revolver more than once, much less 8 times, as they claim. I've touched off a few .454 Casull rounds and a couple of shots in succession I could do, but 8 and hit anything?

I call BS on the boy downing the thing. His dad or uncles or whoever blasted plenty of 30-06 to kill it.

Still impressive tho.

All men are not created equal. That goes for eleven year olds, too. I remember seeing a 6 year old girl dead lift the rear end of a car completely off the ground. Anybody remember the show "That's Incredible"? Just because the average 11 year old can't do something, doesn't mean that this one can't.

Now that I see the boy not hidden behind the hog, I can agree with ya.. He's big for his age and if he's been shootin' for awhile he probably did plug that porker 8 times!

Man, it's a cape buffalo with shorter legs and no horns..

That is one HUGE HAM!! goodness gracious!! :santa:

I'd squeese on that thing until he droped too.
With a pistol you know he wasnt more than 50 yards away from that beast. It'd scare the crap out of me too and I've stumbeled around the woods for the better part of 31 years!
It would be purely a luck thing or a wendy hunting story for that monster to dorp on one shot from any gun much less a pistol. He needed a 300 mag rifle it might would have droped with 3 shots, but atleast might could have been far enough away to let it run off and bleed out before you go get it.

Did anyone read this yet?

Pig Was a Monster, but He Wasn't Wild
AP
FRUITHURST, Ala. (June 2) - 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.

Mike Stone said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Friday that he had been under the impression that the hog was wild, not farm-raised.


Telephone messages left Friday with Eddy Borden, the owner of Lost Creek Plantation, were not immediately returned.

Stone said state wildlife officials told him that it is not unusual for hunting preserves to buy farm-raised hogs and that the hogs are considered feral once they are released.

Stone said he and his son met Blissitt on Friday morning to get more details about the hog. Blissitt said that he had about 15 hogs and decided to sell them for slaughter, but that no one would buy that particular animal because it was too big for slaughter or breeding, Stone said.

Blissitt said that the pig had become a nuisance and that visitors were often frightened by it, Stone said.



He was nice enough to tell my son that the pig was too big and needed killing," Stone said. "He shook Jamison's hand and said he did not kill the family pet."

The Blissitts said they didn't know the hog that was hunted 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.
