Big Pig

[Gonz]

I believe that the nasty email writing vege-brains ought to be penned up near a wild boar (JAVELINA). Anybody wanna take bets on how long it takes to become a pig killer?

Feral pigs are quite destructive to any enviornment. Killing boars is a boon to the enviornment.

Wild boars are mostly dangerous as hell. Meeeean sonsabitches.
You won't catch me huntin' um.

At first sight, you're right, it doesn't. But when you consider the size of a tractor's wheels, things change.

Many people seem to have an unhealthy fixation on guns and killing things IMHO. Others need to ask themselves just exactly where the **** they think their food comes from...

 

[BlurOfSerenity]

and people think the kid shouldnt have a .50cal,... but i'd rather have a kid that knows guns and knows how to be safe with them than have a kid who knows nothing about them or their handling.

I've no problem with kids learning how to handle guns so long a it's under adult control and within the Law... which is far more restrictive here. I get upset though if they are encouraged to kill indiscriminately... killing is for eating in my book... except in the case of vermin.

Killing for food is good. Beats fighting the local grocery shopper for last months leftovers.

Ditto. Provided you acknowledge that many vermin walk on two legs.

That was a silent codicil...

And I prefer the forces of Law and Order to deal with them...

Not looking as big in this picture.

 

[catocom]

it does to me.
Just a different angle....
Look at the notches in the tree behind.

 

[unclehobart]

It looks more like a 7 foot/600lb hog. Its still big... but not worthy of a Stephen King novel.

Dad on the other hand...

SOOOO - EEEEE! PIG, PIG, PIG!

He does seem to affect the scale of the picture.....however that's hardly the point, is it?

This is the point...

After Jamison bagged his pig May 3, the Stones took their prize to the Clay County Farmers Exchange in Lineville, Ga., where it weighed in at 1,051 and measured approximately 9 feet 4 inches.

If the pictures were doctored, then everybody in the story is lying.

It wouldn't be the first time, nor the last.

If the thing was measured while dangling from the forklift then it could have been all artificially stretched out for an extra foot or so of length.
