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.

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...
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

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

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.)
