RSS11 Year Old Kills Monster Pig, Larger Than Hogzilla
An 11 year old Alabama boy spent 3 hours completing the hunt of a wild boar that weighed in at 1,051 pounds and measured 9 feet 4 inches. The animal now known as Monster Pig is the largest wild boar ever killed or captured, breaking the record of Georgia’s Hogzilla.
We have covered the original Hogzilla, which is now being made into a horror film, and the second Hogzilla found not far from my home. This monster is just amazing though. To think that animals this size have been able to grow and not be discovered by humans is hard to fathom.
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 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, who just finished the sixth grade on the honor roll at Christian Heritage Academy, a small, private school.
His father said that, just to be extra safe, he and the guides had high-powered rifles aimed and ready to fire in case the beast with 5- inch tusks decided to charge. With the pig finally dead in a creek bed on the 2,500-acre Lost Creek Plantation, a commercial hunting preserve in Delta, trees had to be cut down and a backhoe brought in to bring Jamison’s prize out of the woods. via the AP

Looking at its snout… this must be Jurine. Yep!
Perhaps the headline should read: 11 year old monster kills pig larger than Hogzilla.
Hey Red,
That thing looks like it came out of “Lost” island eh? Impressive animal indeed! Watch your backyard and kiss Mrs. Red for me.
Thank goodness someone is hunting the things. Things have been known to evolve into larger species in the absence of predators. We either need to hunt them ourselves, or re-introduce wolves to the southeast.
If I saw somthing like that in the woods, I would climb the tallest tree I could find…..I would not be shooting at something this size, my weapon of choice would be the fastest pair of tennis shoes sold.
#1, congrats, you didn’t let a single post go by without mentioning Joran or Aruba in an article that had nothing to do with either.
I am amazed!
WOW! What a kid!
Rastus~ What a pig.

Thanks Rastus! I appreciate your opinion very much (…).
It wasn’t difficult this time… (Don’t know what the English word for this is but in the NL’s we call this - in soccerterminology - an “intikkertje” or an “inkoppertje”; when someone gets the ball after a great pass and EASILY puts the ball in the net.)
Hmmm … an article about a monstrous pig, something that towers over everything else in its vicinity, that makes a statement by its sheer size and bulk …
something that is a threat to all around it …
who says this article has nothing to do with JvdS?
Sometimes an article about a pig is just about a pig.

Damn, we sure raise ‘em big in Bama, don’t we…LOL?? Texas ain’t got nuttin’ on us
That’s a whole lot of pork.
hehehe. I’m seeing an 11 year old with a .50- caliber revolver.
I bet his parents are very proud of him—NOT. The boy spent 3 hours hunting the boar. He was not in danger, and likely eats at McDonalds, so he didn’t need it for food. Sorry I think killing this animal was wrong. The boar could have been relocated if a problem, placed in a zoo(not the best solution) if the boar was destroying property or a danger. Lets not encourage the young to take up guns.
#14..lets see now..McDonalds serves breakfast which includes sausage. Guess where that comes from?
I’m an animal lover too,, I’ve took care of different ones until they are able to live in the wild again. Flies and mosquitos are about all I can kill. We have a reserve close to here that takes in wild life. It’s one thing to kill for food or if a person’s life is in danger, but for fun,, I don’t get it.
Actually I read where his dad is expecting about 800 or so pounds of pork from this hog. So it will be going to food..not just fun.
It’s a sport, right, just like hunting deer, fishing, or going on a wild safari in Africa? Wild boar are aggressive and have been known to kill. Way to go junior…a job well done
Hey Robert!
Thanks for the comment.
What amazes me the most is that many flinging insults falsely believe they are delivering heat, when in fact, they are just soft tossing. (American baseball terminology). I’ve seen middle school kids that put more sting in their zing.
Way to go, Jamie.
I wonder how many of these things are out there ? I saw one last year as road kill while driving in West Texas, about 2 hrs south of Lubbock. I thought it was a dead cow until I drove past. Nasty looking creature.
Hi Rastus,
Your welcome,
What can I say…. Guess my English idiom isn’t half as big as that of the average american middle school kid?
I can be pretty sharp over here…
BTW “Soft Tossing”, is that: throwing the ball to soft?

I hope they do eat the pig, otherwise, it’s just disgusting sport.
However, as an ex-meat eater, I know that such a large pig is going to taste disgusting. Piglets are much more tender and tastier.
As a vegetarian, I find 3 hours torturing a scared wild boar and slowly killing it an abhorrent act. I hope the animal world gets their revenge. We do NOT need to eat meat.
Exactly Dave.. I grew up on a farm and for male pigs(boars) if they aren’t castrated, forget eating the meat. Usually when they are that big, the meat wouldn’t be worth eating male or female. People who hunt and fish for food is one thing,,but as you said. I don’t get it for fun. Torturing an animal for sport, doesn’t do it for me, whether he’s ugly or not.
Good parallel to government bills
Sacred wild boar? What are you, some sort of muslim or something along with being a grass eating tree hugger?
There is NOTHING wrong with hunting for food! How do you think mankind has been able to survive and evolve as long as he has? (here’s a clue, it wasnt by being a vegetarian!)
As a hunter, I agree, sport hunting or trophy hunting is wrong, but putting food on the table isn’t something that should be condemned.
Wildlife management through well regulated hunting, rogram, we help keep the species from overpopulating any one area, which would be akin to just letting them starve to death.
This kid should be PRAISED for being so conscientious! He tracked this animal for 3 hours to ensure that it didn’t suffer any longer than it had to.
If you think about it, the fishing shows, with their ‘catch and release’ format is actually more cruel than hunting, but yet no one is rallying the green brigade against them! Isn’t intentionally tricking some poor schmuck of a fish into biting a pointed piece of metal cruel? On top of that, they then jerk the poor fish out of their natural environment (remember, fish dont breathe with lungs) so they’re basically suffocating while the human RIPS the hook out of their mouth (Provided that the hook is able to be removed at all)!
And after that, the poor fishie is thrown back into the very environment it didnt ask to get jerked out of, but now its injured.
You dont think that all the fish that are released after getting hooked like that actually survive do you?
So, tell again how ‘humane’ ‘catch and release’ is.
One more thing before you go back to watching Bambi:
If God handn’t intended for man to eat the ‘poor wildland creatures’, He would have NEVER made them out of MEAT!
Wonder how long a pig like that would have to live to achieve that size? And to think an animal like this would have to be shot repeatedly over a three hour period on a hunting preserve to provide entertainment for an 11-year-old brat.
I’m not completely certain but I think the kid may have shot Rosie O’Donnell.
Where is Donald Trump when we need him. I like his metaphors.
I’m reading this here in Finland where we do(or don’t, who cares..) also eat pork. =) Using a handgun to hunt this huge creature is sick. To let an 11 year old do it for his 15minutes of glory is also sick. He’ll be back inside with his playstation next week. Nice parenting.

SM: Finland, really?
Ok, first off I’d like to say that I’m a woman and a deer hunter, so I really feel for the kid. It’s the same old story, women and kids shouldn’t/can’t hunt, its only for men. And yet, there are people saying that men shouldn’t hunt b/c its wrong. Anyone can hunt, and frankly, I’m damn proud of him. Hunting requires dicipline, patience, forditude, integrity, and respect for nature. For an 11 yr-old to do this, and face something about 11x’s larger than himself is more than any anti-hunter could understand. Besides all that, the family is going to eat this animal, and GOD made animal so that we could live. Its in the BIBLE, some of you should read it sometime. Way to go Jamison. Good Job !!!
The thing is a hoax. This pig was shot in a 150-acre pen, was trucked in to the location, was fed out of a bucket its whole life, and it’s not as big as it appears in the picture. Nothing wrong with wild pig hunting, but this is not hunting and this is not a wild pig.

P.
HOLY CRAP! THAT SUCKER IS HHUUUGGGGEEEEE!! it looks like it could eat him! like 5 times then shit him out & then do it all again! lol j/k but he should be proud that he accomplished something like that because you don’t see something like that everyday!
Wow , something this big should have been put in a big zoo ! Killing Animals this size is a bit harsh to History . People would have wanted to see this Giant Monster alive !
Dear Shanon , Killing is still Killing no matter the pleasure of it , loving to kill is a matter mental disturbance . Ted Nudgent said eat what you kill.
Killing something for just the pleasure , is what bad hunters are tainting the “hunting” in America . Soon all Hunting will be stoped , do to one mishap gone public wild . A young Pig would have suited the boy for eating fresh without deseas infestation . Old pigs don’t taste very good at all . I’m a pig farmer and this animal just found its last day .
That’s really pathetic. Hunting is the most cowardly way to end an innocent animals life. If it took them 3 hours to kill it how much of a threat was he? Who was a threat to who???? The boy? I don’t see the boy bleeding out of his mouth. Think again for all of you who think hunting is a ’sport’.. it’s the most pathetic concept i’ve ever heard of. It’s no different than someone stalk a human being to do harm to them.
This obviously looks like a pig and not a Boar. I have been on several hunts and have seen some big Boars, but their heads look a a bit different than this pigs head. My uncle also has some pigs on his farm in Indiana and they look exactly like this!!!, less the kid sitting behind it with the shotgun in hand…lol
On the other hand I am sure if this was a real hunt this boy is very proud of himself, as he got him a biggin!!!lol
I am great and surprished to see that these large mammals are also hidden in jungles. I haven’t seen this large pig ever yet. I have seen the documentry about this fact in National Geographic Channel and I love that show. It’s interesting. And I honour this brave boy by my graceful words. You are great guy. bye
