[Bunyan]

I don't know that looks pretty fake to me. Unless that kid is really small.

Picture in the Winnipeg Free Press says he is leaning on it, even in the paper you can tell he is leaning on his knee and could be quite a way back from the carcass.

Well after being raised on a hog farm and raising hogs myself for 25 years I will say that either that kid is 2 foot 6 or that boar weighs 3000 pounds or someone played with the picture. I have owned hogs that went around 1000 pounds when I shipped them. The biggest one stood less than 4 feet at the shoulders and was maybe 8 feet long. It crossed the scale at the Marion St. yard at 986 lbs. And he had been sick for a while. Years ago there were a couple of guys who always worked the evening shift at the Marion St yard. I was just a kid and there was this huge boar in a pen and I asked what it weighed and if it was the biggest they had ever seen. It weighed nearly 1100 pounds but they said the biggest they had seen had weighed just over 1500. Just for referance a good size beef cow weighs about that much. And how many 11 year olds do you know who could control a 50 cal well enough to land 8 shots on target. Those things kick like Chuck Norris. Nuff said. Brad

I saw that in the Free Press on Saturday. That is one huge hog.
But kid is sitting way back behind it too. You see it alot in the hunting mags and stuff. I don't know why guys do it. It makes it look totally fake, if the animal is that big already, why not just leave it for what it is.

I totally agree. The story said 8 rounds and a 3 hour chase. Sounds kinda like a clown show to me.

I'm with brad. I have experience with cattle and hogs and that thing would have to weigh approx 3000lbs. In general, I don't like the way people present a kill, sit on the thing, give us some perspective. Toban is right, it's already huge, don't misrepresent it and encourage speculation.

Some guy posted a link of a more accurate pic over on CGN. Still huge but not as misleading.
There's also a rather funny version on the thread with Rosie O'Donnell photoshopped in. You can imagine who/what she takes the place of.

Better perspective to the hog, still 8 shots and 3 hours seems a little much..... Though looks like shots were to the back end not the vital area of the hog.....

Oh man, this just keeps getting better. I was over on Gunnutz and there is a new post about this. It turns out the wild hog actually had a name. Apparently, Fred, was the neighbour's pig that had escaped a few days before the big "hunt" :nono:

well i heard that right after the "hog" was shot they took that pic then took it to the butchers, and all that was left was the head for a wall mount and mysteriously no proof for the news...makes ya think now doesnt it?

The big boar was hunted inside a large, low-fence enclosure and fired upon 16 times by Stone, who struck the animal nearly a half-dozen times during the three-hour hunt.


11 years old........ .50 caliber pistol..... 16 ROUNDS ! ... 3 hours..... a target the size of a Polaris ...and all in an enclosure to boot !!

...this is hunting ??? I think not. :no:
