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.

"It feels really good," Jamison said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "It's a good accomplishment. I probably won't ever kill anything else that big."

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 Monster Pig. 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.

Kinder's scale measures only to the nearest 10, but Mike Stone said it balanced one notch past the 1,050-pound mark.

"It probably weighed 1,060 pounds. We were just afraid to change it once the story was out," he said.

Mike Stone is having sausage made from the rest of the animal. "We'll probably get 500 to 700 pounds," he said.

I don't believe it for a second. His dad probably got it and then pushed his kid into the picture.

I thought about posting, but its pretty grim. but, now that we are here, we need pictures.

Where was this pig living and what or who was it eating?

They're gonna make sausage out of it!

why did they have to kill it?

I know!! They just didnt want it to get away

I heard the taxidermist interviewed on NPR today. They are mounting the head. The taxidermist said that they were rushing the job so that they can display it at the upcoming White Tailed Deer Show in North Carolina.

evenstar3 said:

My wife asked the same thing.
Couldn't they leave the poor creature alone?

evenstar3 said:

they should get to work on the mythical sewer creatures, too. i'm not into hunting, but that thing was a damn dinosaur.

live4lust said:

i didn't know they got that big

evenstar3 said:

that's what she said.

i apologize, but i'm not strong enough to not say that. damn steve carrell!

evenstar3 said:

according to the taxidermist, its about twice the size a normal full grown wild hog.

oh, the taxidermist also said that its shoulders were 72 inches (6 feet or 1.8 meters) across.

Depends on the kid's shooting experience. My 10 year old shot a hippo in Africa. He did competitive shooting with an Olympic level coach for two years prior. Some kids have a knack for shooting at an early age. A boar like that couldn't move very quickly and they tend to be nocturnal.
Also, take a look at the pistol. No doubt in my mind he shot it. Had the right equipment. That's going to be good eating.
