If Alabama has any more of these creatures, they might usefully loose them in the “insurgent” neighborhoods of Baghdad – the pig, that is, not the sixth grader who took him down:
Meet Monster Pig. An 11-year-old Alabama 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, of Pickensville, said in a telephone interview… 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.
If you’re hunting from out of state, just don’t expect to get a cab at Minneapolis Airport when you take your kill back home.
(By the way, I’m not anti-pig: My own children are devoted to Violet, a pig who weighs in a little over 800 lbs but whose aggressive nature is confined to rubbing up against you with her coarse winter hair and scratching up your legs.)
