Sand Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I don't really like the fact that the kid had to shoot it nine times over a three hour period. The animal suffered far too much and that's not the way it's done. If he can't do it right, he shouldn't hunt with a handgun. However, the negative comments on that site are just retarded. Hogs are not native to Alabama. As a feral species, they are extremely destructive if their numbers are not kept down--doubley so if they're enormous. They're stupid, ugly, and they don't belong here. The only thing they're good for is as a game animal. Except for his inhumane handling of it, the kid should just be proud of his accomplishment. I agree that the negative comments were just stupid. But don't you think the kid deserves a break? I mean to hunt something like that one shot one kill you'd need ...I dunno. A whaling harpoon? Aim for the eye or the groin. "Kid critical hits Hogzilla in the groin for 1741 points of damage. Feel the burn!"

Enoch Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Aim for the eye or the groin. "Kid critical hits Hogzilla in the groin for 1741 points of damage. Feel the burn!" In that case, the kid would've done better to use his Red Ryder BB Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the negative comments were just stupid. But don't you think the kid deserves a break? I mean to hunt something like that one shot one kill you'd need ...I dunno. A whaling harpoon? Power is one thing. Accuracy is another. Looks to me like he shot the thing a couple times through its hindquarters, and that's on the side he thought would be more pretty for the camera. The .500 is a perfectly good weapon or even excessive for most hogs. The image provided is clearly manipulated to make the hog look bigger than it is--I'd say the .500 is right on the money for someone who knows what they're doing. But it's not a gun for an eleven year old. Any moderately powered rifle cartridge would have been easier for him not only to fire and hit his target, but also would probably have kept more energy at a distance anyhow. Hunters are allowed to screw up and hit their target in the wrong place, but if it takes them eight painful tries to fix their error, they've reached the point where it's not something to be proud of anymore. Poor shot placement turns hunting basically into torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A .500 Magnum ought to have been plenty of gun. Edited May 30, 2007 by Aram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure79 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'm surprised the hog didn't just turn around and eat the kid. If I was chasing a hog that size and it turned around and started chasing me, I would have screamed like a little girl and climbed the nearest tree.

Meshugger Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Wait, the kid used a .50 gun? Like a desert eagle or a Smith & Wesson .500? And it was done by a kid? Yikes!

Morgoth Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Wait, the kid used a .50 gun? Like a desert eagle or a Smith & Wesson .500? And it was done by a kid? Yikes! Jesus Christ.... wouldn't want to know what that thing would do to a human head. Still, I could imagine the hog has gone wild and tried to attack the fat boy, so he just freaked out and started shooting at him. With that amazing recoil, I'm not suprised he hit the pig randomly. But then again, who hunts with a gun anyway? That what you have rifles for. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsingham Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 If it's anything like a boar it could. Speaking of which, what kind of lunatic would hunt a dangerous animal with a fething pistol? If you're going to get that close I'be be up for somme kind of explosive tipped spear. At least that way it sounds cooler. "It wasn't lies.

taks Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 turns out the hog was real, but it wasn't feral. it started life as someone's pet, then got bought and escaped from its new owner. pictures are probably telling the true story as the sucker really was that big. apparently it was pretty docile when in captivity, though the owners stated that a lack of food may have turned it a bit mean. taks comrade taks... just because.

Gfted1 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Well, to be fair, the pig wasnt enclosed. 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 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) So, it was a fattened house-piggy then? I thought about that, because wildlife boars don't grow that huge. Besides, wildlife boars are fast and agressive and would have attacked the boy on sight. Outcome undecided, of course. Edited June 1, 2007 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
