i sure dont want to go hunting for that!! its huge! even more amazing 11 yr old killed it

Quote:
An 11-year-old boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog his father says weighed 476 kilograms and measured 2.74 metres, from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail.

Think hams as big as car tyres.

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 453.6 kilograms and measure 3.6 metres long. National Geographic experts who unearthed its remains believe the animal actually weighed about 362.8 kilograms and was 2.4 metres long.

Regardless of the comparison, Jamison is revelling in the attention over his pig.

"It feels really good," Jamison said. "It's a good accomplishment. I probably won't ever kill anything else that big."

Jamison, who killed his first deer at age five, was hunting with father Mike Stone and two guides in east Alabama on May 3. He said he shot the huge animal eight times with a .50-calibre 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.

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 12-centimetre tusks, decided to charge.

Trees had to be cut down and a backhoe brought in to bring Jamison's prize out of the woods.

It was hauled on a truck to the Clay County Farmers Exchange, where Jeff Kinder said they used his scale, recently calibrated, to weigh the hog.

Mike Stone said the scale balanced one notch past the 476 kilogram mark.

"It probably weighed 1060 pounds. We were just afraid to change it once the story was out," he said.

The hog's head is being mounted by Jerry Cunningham of Jerry's Taxidermy. Cunningham said the animal measured 137.16 centimetres around the head, 187.9 centimetres around the shoulders and 27.9 centimetres from the eyes to the end of its snout.

"It's huge," he said. "It's just the biggest thing I've ever seen."

Mike Stone is having sausage made from the rest of the animal. "We'll probably get 500 to 700 pounds (317.5 kilograms)," he said.

Jamison, meanwhile, has been offered a small part in The Legend of Hogzilla, a small-time horror flick based on the tale of the Georgia boar. The movie is holding casting calls with plans to begin filming in Georgia.

I wish the pig had killed him instead. Now that would be a photo! He's a porker for 11 years old.
Chased it for 3 hours.....I hope someone shoots him and chases him for three hours before finishing him off with a point-blank shot.
-"It feels really good," Jamison said. "It's a good accomplishment. I probably won't ever kill anything else that big."-
Can you say sociopath....

I bet he's so stupid that he didn't even know that wild hog tastes like butt. Heck, he probably just wanted something to mount on his bedroom wall! YEEEEEHAAAAAW!

humans suck
