Hoax?
As reported by Associated Content Producer Jason King, back on May 3rd, an 11-year old boy bagged a gigantic wild hog that was over 1,000 pounds and therefore dubbed Hogzilla II. However, according to the Associated Press, this monster hog, was not a wild animal. Instead, he
Giant Hog Bagged by Alabama Boy was Farm-Raised, Not Wild
was a domestic hog that went by the name "Fred."

The huge pig's former owner claims the hog was raised on a rural Alabama farm and was then sold for a large sum to the Lost Creek Plantation. Just four days after it was sold, it was shot by the 11-year-old boy in a 150-acre fenced area, reports the Associated Press.

The animal's former owner, Phil Blissitt, told a local newspaper that he bought the pig when it was just 6 weeks old back in December of 2004. The piglet was a Christmas gift for his wife, Rhonda Blissitt. However, when they decided to get rid of all the pigs on their farm, they were forced to sell the hog to the Lost Creek Plantation.

According to the Associated Press, Rhonda Blissitt told reporters ""I just wanted the truth to be told. That wasn't a wild pig."

Phil Blissitt also says that the photos of the hog were not altered in any way. It was indeed a big pig.

On May 3rd, 11-year-old Jamison Stone shot and killed the massive hog. Both he and his father told the press it was a three-hour chase that ended in the pig being killed. They also said it was more than 1,000 pounds and 9 feet long and that they would make over 500 pounds of sausage out of the animal, reported the Associated Press. Did the Stones fluff up their story?

Mike Stone, the boy's father, told the press ""We were told that it was a feral hog...and we hunted it on the pretense that it was a feral hog."

The Associated Press reported that the Blissitts didn't come forward sooner about their information because they didn't know the hog was their beloved and long lost Fred. The game warden for the Alabama Department of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries called the Blissitts about the hog. He also told them and the press that no laws were broken by the Stones when they killed the hog.

Think it is a hoax. :(
 
I don't know what kind of gun that is but it doesn't look like it would be enough to stop that monster. :shock: Maybe a 12 gauge or AK-47?
 
:jaw:

That is the biggest darn boar I have ever seen in my life!!

Some cattle don't even get that big!!

Cows are not even that big!!


Boar meat is a strong tasting meat. One that big, would probably be nasty.

Probably why they are making sausage out of it.
 
Once the owner released it. It is wild.

So therefore it became a wild hog.

Even though it was farm raised! The meat should be plenty good then. :P
 
I have just noticed. It does not have any TUSK..

Boars "True wild hogs" have tusk. Especially one this large. I can imagine if this was a real wild hog. How big would the tusk be!! :shock:
 
That 50 caliber, you realize, is a half inch projectile; in fact, it might even be a black powder gun; slow but devastating.....

The owner sold him to a hunting camp!!

He knew that the hog would be hunted! So the owner can not say "Oh that was my beloved pet.. boo hoo"
