MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Hogzilla is being made into a horror movie. But the sequel may be even bigger: Meet Monster Pig. An 11-year-old 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.

Shooting with pistol !!!!  I Gather they do not care if the animals they hunt suffer before they die.

Here if using more than one bullet shooting a moose one is a not so good shot and it should be a lung or a heart shot.

Boars are thick skinned and needs to be shot at point blank with such a weapon.

Thats huge.  Is it just me who thinks it looks a bit photoshopped?  The pig looks to be at a different focus to the rest of the scene...

Anyway its on yahoo so probably been checked out pretty thoroughly and enough people must have seen it at the weighings etc but the pic does look sketchy tbh.  You think theyd show a few of them on something that cool :)

Seriously though ive never heard of boars/wildhogs ever getting that size, big yes but not that big.

hadnt taken much notice of the pic but now that you mention it yes, it does look a bit dodgy.

always hard to tell on such small versions though.

Damn I want it spitroasted! :w00t:


I love the way they find a mammoth beast and rather than give it some respect and leave it they decide to blow the crap out of it just for a trophy.

The only issue I would have with that is if the pig was trying to make a snack out of them...
