Boy kills 1500 pound monster pig

[alexthekidd]

Just imagine all of the heaping bacon sandwiches that could be made from a 1,051 pound hog.

For 11-year-old Jamison Stone, from Alabama, such a thought is out of the land of imagination and into reality.

On a hunting trip with his father, Mike Stone, young Jamison came upon the massive beast, which is named Hogzilla 2. Being a hunter since age 5, Jamison proceeded to shoot the giant hog eight times with a revolver. As may be expected, death didn’t quickly take to the walking bacon platter.

Likely a bit annoyed by the bullets, the nearly 9 and a half foot (from snout to tail, a bit shorter than a regulation basketball goal) and 1500 pound boar refused to easily go down and gave Jamison a bit of a scare.

Said Jamison in an interview, “”I was a little bit scared, a little bit excited.”

After pursuing Hogzilla II for several hours, Jamison and his father (along with guides who had high powered rifles trained on the pig, in case of a charge) were finally able to subdue their record catch.

Final measurements of the pig indicate that its head is nearly five feet around and around its shoulders, nearly 6 feet. Its weight is now also thought to be 1,560 pounds total.

The father and son plan to use the meat to make massive amounts of sausage, expected to come up to about 700 pounds worth of meat.

Mr. Stone put up website http://www.monsterpig.com/ for more on the story. You may have to check back in as it has likely received much traffic.

that is insane!

[Trudes]

Holy crap!!! That thing is half water buffalo!! Poor piggy.

[CM2005]

awesome.. what a staunch kid! but it might be the only one left in the world... i wonder what it tastes like?

[Kickaha]

you wouldn't be strappping that to your shoulders to carry out

[Devil]

Hrm, the news last night said it was around 490kg, now it seems to have grown to 1500 pounds, and the dodgy perspective of the picture? Call me a skeptic, but...

edit: reads it meself. Say's it's 1051lb on the website...Sounding a little more plausible...

[CM2005]

thats the same pic as off the news....? and 490kg is 1080... and...
from a 1,051 pound hog. so it hasnt actually grown...

[Sniper]

Jesus, thats alot of pig. Well done to that kid, its a story that he can tell the grandkids, as well as scare the shit out of them with the head

[Trudes]

i wonder what it tastes like?

Probably bloody tough I should think, it's usually the little things that taste the best.

An 11-year-old with an eight-shot revolver? Who does he think he is, Clint Fucking Eastwood? How many of the eight rounds fired connected with the pig? Since when has a .357 magnum been a "hunting" weapon?

This entire story smells extremely fishy to me.

Its a different kind of a sport is hunting with a pistol. Used to do it in SA with dad. Sheds a whole new light on the hunting thing.

You will proberbly find that they were not after pigs but just happened to stumble across him. I am with you though, why he needed all 8 rounds instead of just using a rifle is beyond me

[jonbuoy]

If that bastard came charging at me I'd use everything I had to stop it.

[Harry33]

haha read some of the negative comments on their site fuckin funny as hell.

(I have to congratulate you because I didn't think it was possible for an 11 yr old as large as yourself to chase a pig for three hours in hilly terrain. Well done, fat boy! For real though. Killing an animal about half your size does not make you a hero, or a model american, or anything else anybody might say you are. It certainly does not make you worthy of being in a movie.
You are a worthless piece of crap and i hope one day another noble american hunter such as yourself mistakes you for a large hog and shoots you about 12 times before your fat ass drops dead. They'll definately need another backhoe in the woods to pick your body up with. I hope you're enjoying your fame. Satan is going to have fun with you when you rot in hell.
God Bless.)

Brillant stuff...haha

[imdying]

What sort of .50 cal revolver takes 8 shots :o

/edit: Ah ha! Took 3 hours to hunt, plenty of time to reload :yes:

[dnos]

WOOOAAHHHH, that is one big arse pig.
Gotta love the nasty negative comments, bit of a laugh.

That would make one hell of a lot of sausages.

[MVnut]

Evil fa#@in kid shoulda let the beast live

It's a Murkn thing. They really do do it. Big market for 'hunting' revolvers. Long barrels, scopes, seven, eight or even nine cylinders, the works. Those guns will put all their bullets into a reliable 2" circle at 50 yards if you do your part and point them straight.

If you check the site you'll see that it wasn't a .357 Magnum; it was a S&W Model 500, chambered for the '.500 S&W Magnum' cartridge, with a 10.5 inch barrel. That's getting into rifle territory in terms of muzzle energy. It's at the extreme upper end of handgun power.

The details seem plausible enough.

Thank you for clearing that up. Now, where does one procure such a device? It seems like a "must have" for a moderator's tool kit...

[rudolph]

[Switch]

Smith and wesson. Prob not too legal in NZ

[Macktheknife]

Apparently the kid and his family filled the pig up on beer and got it drunk before they 'hunted it', (only way the kid didn't get dead I think) there is supposedly some video footage of this floating around the internet currently, off to search for it now.
Footage found, its not the pig that was shot. The hunt took place on a commercial hunting park in Alabama, and it is not the only one of this size. Hogzilla was also shot a while back but was smaller than this one, and NatGeo have done a story on the pigs unusual DNA, which they sampled when they dug up the original Hogzilla remains. Stories are continuing on the existence of this new kind of 'giant pig' with DNA from wild boars, more sightings reported in the area of similar size.
I wonder if the park owners have dabbled into some genetic engineering to bring in business???

A friend of mine has two handguns similar. One chambered for the .500 S & W and the other for the 45-70., both are 5 shot and both are real fun to use. AN 11 year old using a .500 he must have wrists twice the size of all the other kids.

Apart from a very wicked recoil the pistol weighs a bloody ton.


Mr :shit:

[Patrick]

There was a piece in the Weekend Herald, Sunday Star Times or like, on the weekend just gone... said it was a hand reared pig, got huge, but was basically a pet, and was given to the farmers to live the good life on a farm... was released into this kids fenced paddocks where he "hunted" it down...

[sAsLEX]

Jesus, thats alot of pig. Well done to that kid, its a story that he can tell the grandkids, as well as scare the shit out of them with the head

Yeah great story......

It was a wet and wild day ( 3 clouds in the sky) and we walked for hours to get in to the the pigs territory ( they paid there money and walked a few feet from the carpark) after hours of stalking ( guide "look there is the pig over there") I carefully aimed and hit the beast ( 8 wild shots somewhere in to the torso) and no time was I scared ( as the guides were around me with high powered rifles to actually shoot the thing properly)
