The Pig is real, but I thought it was a domestic and not a feril. or should the term be native wild boar more commonly known as a razor back which is the native pig species of the area.
the other wild boar hunted in the regon are species farmed in from around the world.
domestic hogs do have a lot of hair on them, and if you find one all black it is easy for reserve style hunters to become victom of self elusions that they are hunting in natrual settings. I am not saying it isnt dangerous it is, Pigs are dangerous when not fed timely and daily and have adiquit water or when weining thier young. So respect is manditory, and if not given one could end up in a world of hurt if not dead...
but only in america could a man take home a 1000 pounds of prime sausage, ham, chops and bacon to stuff in his freezer feal like he was cheated....
and to hear the boy shot 17 times and only hit the enormous target 6 times dose put some perspective to the boy using a firearm that he should not have been using to begin with and tells ya that dad is pretty nieve when it comes to hunting.
After reading the article in your link, I think dad got exactly what he paid for, a big slow moving target for his baby boy to have target pratice on.
thats one he should have kept quiet instead of bosting around the net... the way the artical reads the boy could have walked up on the animal and shot it in the head with a 25 caliber.
I dont see any thing ileagle or imoral here, just a little imbarising for pops and the kid. tho in the eyes of other kids that the eleven year old boy was able to even fire the 50 caliber and not get knocked on his can is an accomplishment in it self... LOL[sly]
