enough already. this story is so old is has whiskers. drop it.

He shoulda donated the hog to The Food Network for an Iron Chef episode.
That would be a heck of a Secret Ingredient Of The Day!

Walt,

Johnny Morris owns Bass Pro, not Johnny Miller, you numbnuts.

The weight of a hog can be hard to judge. I shot a 250lb hog that looked like it had to be 350 plus. When we got it on the scales it was a different story. this hog may be 500 or a 1000 lbs. How are you going to tell from a picture. If the kid is telling the truth, awsome, congrats and go slay another. If not, the truth will eventually come out. I myself wont loose any sleep either way.

As you all gripe about the doctored photo, who cares, it was a big pig, and yes a pig that big can walk, and survive quite well, but as for the kid and his gun, find something a little more appropriate, if you cant make the kill clean, then dont take the shot please.

Anybody ever hunted feral hogs before? Doesn't sound like it. I've seen smaller hogs, hit with .50 cal and magnum loads that didn't drop. What was the kid supposed to do? just walk away? gimme a break - you all (if you're real hunters) Know the unwritten rule. don't leave a wounded animal out there to suffer or cause suffering. As for the game preserve, don't know anything about it but I do know this. Feral hogs don't really care if your fence is high or low or electrified for that matter, they'll go through it if that's their desire. for cryin' out loud, you people need to find something better to do than hammer at a kid for what he did.
pathetic.

Two words ... Fair chase? No doubt a big hog. No doubt a cool father-son adventure. A record ... well, let's be honest. Do hogs get this large? Apparently, when they are slopped to size. A wild hog? Well, it was shot in a preserve, where people pay for hog hunts, by the pound ... Leave it. This is no phenomenon. It's a dad, a kid, and a very large socked hog. No more.

I agree shot placement is everything. I have taken my last 3 Feral Hogs and 3 Does with a 30-06. All shots from well over a 100yrds. All of them were head shots as well. I agree with Jake T's comment. It should be first to provide food for yourself and family, and the sport behind that. Heck of pig though. My largest was 425lbs out of South Texas. Fed me and my hunting Buds for a long while.

its a tamed hog shot by a kid after it was sold to a meat proceseing plant or something like that. saw it on the news. Owner of the hog says it was nine feet and almost 1000 pounds.

dang nice hog be proud and if its photo shoped u wasted my time

I've never seen a hog that big hope its not photo shopped that would be a shame

I think that a pig like that is a one in a million shot and if it were me I'd pop a cap in it's forehead.

nice gun man nice hog too!
