This was bagged in the Iraq War Funding Bill, right?

That’s been my experience as well. I was out hunting dear, saw this hog, maybe 400 pounds. I shot it broad side with a 308 at about 50 feet, solid hit in the shoulder area, heard the round impact, saw the fur fly. It went down, bounced, got right back up and came at me. I hit it with several rounds from the 44, emptied it, hoped up the nearest tree, and it ran on by. Never saw it again. Hogs are tough critters, very few one shot stops for me.
Lots of excitement shooting hogs.
That’s why I wonder about the story with this hog, way too big to purposely hunt with a revolver for me. These things are mean, and once they see you they go right for you.
I think the mouth is too small to be Rosey.

I am sure that is why they are making sausage! It all tastes the same. We always mix pork sausage in with our ground venison for sausage since venison is so lean it needs the extra fat. Would need to shoot a whole bunch of deer to use up 700 lbs of that porker!
“Rosey is that you?”
Naw, that is Rosie’s better looking little brother!
shot the huge animal eight times with a .50- caliber revolver and chased it for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot.
Man, that hog took some killin’! Wonder how that kid handles the recoil from a 50 caliber pistol?
OH MONK that so cuteeee but I got question is Looter guy contribute deliquency of minor LOL!
Both of my boys were around 5’6” and better at 12 they are both opver 6’3” now 5 and 8 years later.
Most people don’t get to be 6’3 though.
Hogs are considered varmints in many southern state. So pretty well anything goes as long as you have a legal hunting permit.
I'd call it photoshop. Look at the relative size of the hand holding the pistol compared to the rest of the kid.
PHOTOSHOP! And not even very sophisticated photoshop. Look at the hand size and notice that there is no reference hand on the 250 lb lig skull.
Local reporter/newspaper took the picture.

I thought it was dead
I really did. I thought it was dead — not the pig (I know it’s dead), but the story. That’s, I guess, why I haven’t been posting as heavily as I did at first.
Now I know, this story is far from dead. IT LIVES!!
Yesterday, out of nowhere, Stinky Journalism.com claimed to have debunked the story (they attacked it basically from the Photoshop end), and it rose from the dead.
I worked on that (what seemed like) all day Tuesday until I got a pleasant surprise. It was a phone call from the Stones saying they were in (of all places) Oxford. We went and took the pictures of the skull you might have saw in Wednesday’s Star.
Now, the story has taken a completely different angle. The good folks at Alabama Department of Conservation are looking into the story. They hope to find out a few different things. You can read my story in Thursday morning’s Star.

P.S. — Through the glory of Tivo (if you don’t have it, you should), it captured the documentary of Hogzilla, and I watched it Tuesday night. I ate a ham sandwich while enjoying the piece fine cinema.
Not looking too bright with that comment, eh? The hoax was the hog was farm-raised, but it was real and so is the photograph.
