Now that's a hog -- not a Rosie thread

    I'm not a hunter, and I don't know anything about guns, so could an 11-year-old shoot a .50-caliber pistol accurately? Seems like a really, really powerful weapon.

    The story said he hit it eight times, which would seem to just piss the hog off unless one was a brain shot.
     
  2. The pig's nine foot. The boy, who is bending down, is at least five foot. Adding another foot to the boy doesn't make the pig look much smaller.

    That looks like a friggin' hippo, a hungry, hungry hippo at one time apparently (sorry, couldn't resist).

    I can't believe the kid wasn't so scared of something that big, that he didn't run the other way instead of firing.

    Poor Fred. I'm sure the kid learned some great life lessons while his dad paid to set up on a hunt for a domesticated pig in an enclosed area.
    Yep, love those hunting values.
