Hogzilla

An 11-year-old Alabama boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog his father says weighed a staggering 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.
Update: This turns out to be a 'canned' hunt'. The pig was raised as a pet by a family and recently sold - knowing that it would be bred and then eventually hunted. The guy who bought it contracted with the kid's father to enclose the monster in a fenced area and let the kid chase it around shooting at it - 16 times. This was not a feral pig. The father says he knew nothing about the origin of the pig.
I don't hunt. I've gut nothing against hunting, but I'm still not a fan of canned hunts. This family raised animal died in terror after being shot 6 times while being chased around an enclosure it couldn't escape from.
The truth of the story was found thru Mark in Mexico.

That S&W .50 must be some hellacious pistol! Good going kid!
