One big hog

[DOMNIKDYL]

Check out this wild hog taken by an 11 year old with a .50 caliber S&W revolver.  One story I read said they were having most of the pig made in to sausage with an estimated 700 pounds.

Holy Sausage, that is one big pig!!!! 

There is an island in the Susquehanna River up here, that is sort of like a hunting preserve...a couple years back a friend of mines father took a hog that was about 1100 pounds. The meat was no good because it was so old and he had the hog stuffed and mounted. It is now at the bar he owns, the Bainbridge Inn along the Susquehanna River in Bainbridge PA. The tusks on that thing are nearly 8 inches long.

With an old hog like that, the only thing to do is make into sausage. Nice trophy anyway!

did you read the negative comments on that website. They are really tearing that kid apart

I agree, that kid is getting torn apart by the tree huggers.  I don't hunt, prefer my meat butchered by someone else, but would never presume to tell someone that it's wrong.  If it's for you and you enjoy it, more power to you.

Man what a HOG! We raise them down here(not me personally) but never get that big. Yes, PETA there is sites who are not veggie freindly.

  That it is not a wild hog! May be a pen hog gone ferule, but not a wild hog. I've shot 34 with a bow and been on way over 100 killed. A ferul hog does not have a short snout and floppy ears. A 500 S&W after 3 shots hurt my wrist enough that I could not shoot my bow the next day. The 500 S&W will kill a cape buffalo. Does not take 16 rounds and 3 hours to kill a hog with a round with that much energy. That hog may have been wild! It only takes about 1 year for a pen hog to grow that kind of hide. The tusk make you think it was a pen raised hog to be hunted and turned loose to hunt. Most hog raisers will pull the tusks out when a hog is a piglet. Barrows are wild hogs castrated at a young age to grow fat easily and not breed, but they grow the same long snout and short ears of a wild hog.
  6 seconds woth a well placed bullet or broadhead the largest animal on earth will go into shock. If he really did shoot the hog for 3 hours and 16 times it would have been better kept to themselves. Hogs are very aggressive and terrifing to walk into a bayed hog and make a clean shot that the animal deserves. I have watched my son walk in with his bow shaking so bad he could hardly keep the arrow on the rest, but talking him through it he made clean one shot kills on all 9 of the hogs he has shot. If he did walk in on even a released hog (which the hunters would not be told so) I'm sure an 11 year old was still terrified.
  I do not agree with the animal rights people by any means. They do not need to bash the kid under any circumstances. I'm sure he tried to do his best, but would have killed the hog more humanly with a 44 magnum that he would be able to control.

haha so apparently the news story on this one read that it was the family pet and not a wild hog. Not sure how true it is but thats what i was told. Whoever said it wasnt a legal wild hog could very well be right.
