Jim Alfredson Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 I saw it. I don't believe it. That photo looks fake to me. And why only one photo? If this was the biggest hog in the world, seems to me there would be multiple photos from all different angles. Looks like Photoshop to me. Quote

"It's a good accomplishment. I probably won't ever kill anything else that big." "I was a little bit scared, a little bit excited," said Jamison, who just finished the sixth grade on the honor roll at Christian Heritage Academy, a small, private school. Quote

JSngry Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8...amp;image=large With the pig finally dead in a creek bed on the 2,500-acre Lost Creek Plantation, a commercial hunting preserve in Delta, trees had to be cut down and a backhoe brought in to bring Jamison's prize out of the woods. It was hauled on a truck to the Clay County Farmers Exchange in Lineville, where Jeff Kinder said they used his scale, which was recently calibrated, to weigh the hog. Kinder, who didn't witness the weigh-in, said he was baffled to hear the reported weight of 1,051 pounds because his scale—an old, manual style with sliding weights—only measures to the nearest 10. "I didn't quite understand that," he said. Mike Stone said the scale balanced one notch past the 1,050-pound mark, and he thought it meant a weight of 1,051 pounds. "It probably weighed 1,060 pounds. We were just afraid to change it once the story was out," he said. The hog's head is now being mounted on an extra-large foam form by Jerry Cunningham of Jerry's Taxidermy in Oxford. Cunningham said 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. All this and all we have is this one photograph?

Late Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 The first paragraph from A Note from Jamison's Dad: "The purpose of this hunt was to give Jamison the opportunity to challenge himself and with this challenge the opportunity to overcome fear and accomplish something that would not be easily done. As he is becoming a young man, I wanted to see if the stuff I had been given him over the years would be the right stuff and if he had enough of it to rise to this and other challenges that life would surly have in store. I have disciplined my children over the years quiet regularly and many times have heard them say that their friends did not receive the same punishment. My response has always been "I am not trying to raise another child I am trying to raise a Champion". I guess I wanted to see if I was on the right track. Quote

Guess I made a big mistake with my son and daughter. I tried to make them "aware human beings" able to defend themselves and to give aid to others. None of this involved killing large mammals. Quote
