    well it's a good thing he killed it - we certainly wouldn't want something rare like that to be alive.

    What the f*ck is an 11-year-old doing with a revolver?

    But that's one awesome pig, the Gustav of pigs.

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Jamison, <b>who killed his first deer at age 5</b>, was hunting with father Mike Stone and two guides in east Alabama on May 3 when he bagged Hogzilla II. 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.

    Through it all there was the fear that the animal would turn and charge them, as wild boars have a reputation of doing.

    "I was a little bit scared, a little bit excited," said Jamison,<b> who just finished the sixth grade on the honor roll at Christian Heritage Academy</b>, a small, private school.

    His father said that, <b>just to be extra safe, he and the guides had high-powered rifles aimed and ready to fire</b> in case the beast with 5-inch tusks decided to charge.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

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

    Shoot a bloody tree if size only matters on the kill. If the boar was a freak of nature (messed up hormones or diseases etc) it's all good but if it was simply really old it was a shame to kill it.

    I wanna hit that kid. "Aw man I prolly won't eva kill nuffin dat big evah again! Weeeooo! Paw I feel like celebratin', wharh's mah sistah?!" But you know what, we can't really be bitter about this. Once the news of the hog went public to humanity, it's chances of survival were dim. If they told anyone, handfuls (if not hundreds) of zoos would have been combing the area looking for it to have a circus mega-attraction. Other hunters like this kid wanting to kill it for the e-peen value. It was going to get captured or shot once anyone found out where it was. No one would have just 'let it be.'

    Man, you got my hopes up. Living near me and all I was figuring on some bacon. Oh well.

    I don't think it should come as a surprise to anyone halfway familiar with human nature that some person has gone and killed a remarkably rare specimen of some animal or another.

    Pff. He killed it with a <b>gun</b>. Big deal, so he can aim, so can I.

    Now.... if he boxed it to death or something... that'd be fairly awesome.

    Like that guy who took out a grizzly bear with a pocket knife when it came into his home.

    It did. They chased it down. Imagine someone shooting you eight times with an extremely high powered air rifle, then when you are tired enough they stick it to your face and finish you.

    Personally, I think that they put the kid in too much risk than was needed. A monstrous wild boar, at point blank range, in front of an 11 year old kid. Not only monstrous, but most likely very ###### off, being shot 8 times before. Would the hunting party REALLY be able to react in time to save the kid, had the boar attacked him?

    See that's why I'm against hunting using guns. Because it ain't manly. I understand population control etc.... but it shouldn't be called hunting, and it should be illegal to brag about kills.

    You only get bragging rights when you solo a bear with a knife. I'd be interested in hearing your story then. Not "I shot this thing and it died", because that's more like "Well.... obviously".

    I agree, wrestling a full grown bear with your bare hands should be the least of the bragging stories.
