An 11-year-old Alabama boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog that just may be the biggest pig ever found. Jamison Stone's father says the hog his son killed weighed a 1,051 pounds and measured 9-feet-4 from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail. Think hams as big as car tires. If the claims are accurate, Jamison'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 1,000 pounds and measure 12 feet in length. National Geographic experts who unearthed its remains believe the animal actually weighed about 800 pounds and was 8 feet long. After seeing the pig in person, taxidermist Jerry Cunningham told The Anniston Star it was "the biggest thing I'd ever seen ... it's huge." Jamison, who killed his first deer at age 5, was hunting with father Mike Stone and two guides in east Alabama on May 3 when he bagged Hogzilla II. He said he shot the huge animal eight times with a .50-caliber revolver and chased it for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot. "I was a little bit scared, a little bit excited," said Jamison, who just finished the sixth grade on the honor roll at Christian Heritage Academy, a small, private school. 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 5-inch tusks decided to charge.

Sure that's not an escaped rhinoceros from a zoo/wildpark? -shock (or could it be a cross breed between a rhino and a wild boar?)
lol Fox news needs some better writing staff... i just noticed that this sentence doesn't make sense at all hahaha
ahhh lord of the flies..it DOES remind of it. but jeebies, it's so HUGEE O.O what the heck did it eat...
i wonder how much bigger it would have gotten if it hadn't been killed.... some crazy princess mononoke stuff lol
They let it run wounded for 3 hrs when they could've ended its misery anytime??? That seems a little....cruel (I never get the appeal with hunting anyways -_-2)
that is one huge pig this actually remind me an episode of Hunter X Hunter 1000 lb ....must be hard to move.. well a karate chop on the head will kill it who needs gun
