Man, I could so go for some ham right about now.
Seriously though- it's pretty obvious the kid is standing back from the hog.

11-Year-Old Boy Bags Nine Feet 'Monster Pig'
An 11-year-old boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog his father says weighed a staggering 1,051 pounds and measured 9 feet 4, from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail.
If the claims are accurate, Jamison Stone's trophy boar would be bigger than 'Hogzilla', the famed wild hog that grew to seemingly mythical proportions after being killed in Georgia in 2004.
"It feels really good," Jamison said. "It's a good accomplishment. I probably won't ever kill anything else that big."
Jamison, who killed his first deer at age 5, was hunting with father when he bagged Monster Pig. He said he shot the huge animal eight times and chased it for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot.
It was hauled on a truck to where the hog was weighed. The animal measured 54 inches around the head, 74 inches around the shoulders and 11 inches from the eyes to the end of its snout.
"It's huge," he said. "It's just the biggest thing I've ever seen", he said.
Mike Stone is having sausage made from the rest of the animal. "We'll probably get 500 to 700 pounds," he said.
Jamison has been offered a small part in "The Legend of Hogzilla" after his catch, a small-time horror flick based on the tale of the Georgia boar.
GreyMatter said:Its a good story.... which is believable except for the part about getting the hog onto the truck. How did they manage to drag the thing through the woods to the truck, or lift a 1,000 pound pig onto the truck without cutting it into pieces?
GreyMatter said:Now that's believable.
Im getting mind-boggled trying to think of the size of the leg you could get from it.
Think hams as big as car tires.
FRUITHURST, Alabama (AP) -- The huge hog that became known as "Monster Pig" after being hunted and killed by
an 11-year-old boy had another name: Fred.
The not-so-wild pig had been raised on an Alabama farm and was sold to the Lost Creek Plantation just four days before
it was shot there in a 150-acre fenced area, the animal's former owner said.
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.
"I just wanted the truth to be told. That wasn't a wild pig," Rhonda Blissitt said.

Hale said:P.S. I do actually have a tan coloured safari suit and a dark green safari suit jacket. I had them made on Holiday in Vietnam. I'm bringing it back into fashion!
Hale said:Hahaha! Consider them incoming. Give me a couple of hours...which makes notice the time, shouldnt you be in bed anyway Vern? Its 1800 here, i'll be out for a while but will have them up by midnight hopefully!
What do you think? Safari suit coupled with "Blue steel"?
This thread is wandering but heres something interesting for you, in the early 80's the ADF put out a set of cams that if the coller was ironed right out very much resembled a safari suit. There you go, interesting trivia for you.
I'll have the photos soonish!
