"It feels really good," Jamison said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "It's a good accomplishment. I probably won't ever kill anything else that big."
Jeeze, I guess not. Just how many of these creatures are there?

i thought it was pretty sick how he shot the thing 5 times w/ a pistol, and a point blank shot before it died. He could have done it w/ a lot less pain and suffering to the animal had he used a gun that wasn't a pistol.

if you didn't want that thing to suffer you'd need a gawddamn nuclear weapon.

if you read the article, the dad and whoever else was there, said they had high powered rifles to make sure that the boar didn't charge... so, they could have killed it easily.

When pigs get that big, I suspect they become a bit more aggressive and dangerous.
"Through it all, there was the fear that the animal would turn and charge them, as wild boars have a reputation for doing."
I was talking about this with a co-worker and he shot it 8 times with a .50 calibre revolver.
Now, my only experience with .50cal anything is a .50cal machine gun. It has some pretty big bullets so I'm a bit surprised it took 8 shots to bring it down.

You could cut down a tree. Kid must have missed important stuff...7 times.
The rifles were probably shooting something similar. There aren't a whole lot of "larger" weapons out there (for personal use) are there? The rifles are just accurate further away.

I agree that the animal was tormented by not being killed quickly. That wasn't humane.
Now I'm imagining seeing something like that charging out of the woods while I'm out running. Sounds like monster pig lived within about 75 miles of my house!
true, up close. But the impression i got was that the dad and other guy stood back, and let the kid chase it and keep shooting it so he could get the kill. The impression i got was that they could have killed the boar BEFORE the 3 hour run.

That's how hunting works. Ideally you're going to kill the critter immediately, sometimes it doesn't go to plan. I never liked hunting myself, but it was\is popular where I'm from. One of the big things (especially with bows) is if you get a bad shot...you're chasing the thing, or let it die in agony on its own. A lot of the time the animal will bleed out and you give it that last go.
From a humane standpoint (depending on the laws there) the kid should have used a rifle where he could have shot it from much further away with much more accuracy. From a "hunting" perspective, they weren't trying to be humane. They were letting the kid kill a live, wild animal with a pistol. The grown ups where there solely to protect the child, not the animal the kid was trying to kill.
I'm calling PETA..... People Eating Tasty Animals.
That's only funny when you're talking to people who oppose eating meat. Mostly everyone in here has said they support the eating of animals, but don't like that the thing ran around for 3 hours before the fatal blow.
shame on you.

Doesn't this qualify for a "You know you're a redneck" joke?
Quote:
Phil Blissitt told The Anniston Star in a story Friday that he bought the 6-week-old pig in December 2004 as a Christmas gift for his wife, Rhonda, and that they sold it after deciding to get rid of all the pigs at their farm.
that article does nothing to warrant me lightening up. I don't care if it was wild or home bred of fucking grown in a test tube - they ran it around bleeding to death for three hours.
cruel
