11-Year-Old Bags Enormous Wild Hog ****

May 29th, 2007 · A wild hog thought to be more than 1,000 pounds was killed by an 11-year-old boy May 3 at Lost Creek Plantation, a commercial hunting preserve. Jerry Cunningham, owner of Jerry's Taxidermy in Oxford, Ala., was hired to mount its head, and he watched preserve employees use a backhoe to move it. Cunningham, who says the average hog in those parts weighs 400 pounds at most, measured the hog's head at 54 inches around and 74 inches around the shoulders. Robert Siegel talks with Cunningham about the biggest wild hog he's ever seen.
