He may be only 11, but I reckon he’s earned the right to be called a good ol’ boy.
Right. The boy is a few feet behind the hog. You can barely see his left knee holding up his arm.
Got to give the kid credit. Comming up against a hog that big in the wild would give me weak knees. They are nothing to fool with even with backup.
I see you got to the website!
Looks like a “depth of field” optical illusion to me...

Pretty sizeable 11 yr old as well.
He had to be. A 50 cal pistol would prolly whoop my ass
Go to your room!
Ahhhhhh, S&W 500. I feel the need to fondle it every time I make a trip to the gun shop.
That’s a true beast of a gun for a real true beast. The thing was made precisely for big game like this. A real wrist breaker from what I’m told. That and a little over $3 a round.
One of these days I’m going to have to take up one of my friends offer to go boar hunting here in NW Florida.
You've got it wrong. Rosie's still alive. The kid shot Rosie's replcement.
They tried to find a replacement Rosie's size, but had to settle for one as ugly!
Yarghh wrist breaker is right!
I made the mistake of discharging a 12 ga with pistol grip loaded with 00 buck 3 in mags. Yeeowch!
Thanks for the link. That picture is considerably more beleivable. The one above looks like he shot an elephant. Still, its one mighty big hog!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, sausage!
It’ll take a couple of days to roast that whole hog!
That’s alot of meat!
Doh!
Smith & Wesson makes one. It’s called the model 500 and comes in several barrell lengths. Mine is 4”.
Me either.
A hog this big will come near killing you, if it catches up to you, a small one will run you down, been there and had them do that. Emptying 6 rounds of 44 mag at point blank would slow them but not a sure stop ... depending where you hit. But how accurate can you be when running at top speed? My only experience has been with hogs of about 350 pounds.
Hogs are really tough beasts.
That’s one big hog, if it’s a real photo. Sure wouldn’t go after it with any revolver, but that’s just me. 12 ga 30 inch full choke with 00 magnum would be my minimum.
