Been all over the news here, kid's been interviewed and so has his dad. Website posted up above.
It was a relief for me to hear that his dad and a hunting buddy were backing him up with big bore rifles. A .500 Smith wouldn't be a whole lot of comfort facing a charging hog.
Looks like some of the monster hogs are really domestic pigs that were fattened up - not sure about this one. I know some guys who hunt gators on private reserves and they get 12+ ft every hunt. Gators get fed regularly and are fattened up for the hunt every year.
