Dang, that's a big pig. I've seen cars that were smaller.

kid who shot big pig’s hate mail

Interesting, turns out it wasn't a feral pig at all. The "monster" hog was a domesticated farm animal named Fred. A farmer sold his pet hog to a manager of one of those canned hunt places, 4 days earlier (it was too big to butcher). It took the kid 3 hours to put 5 slugs (out of 16 shots) into a farm animal that was in a fenced-in area, after being led to it by two "hunting guides". That doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment, no matter how big the pig was. That wasn't hunting, it was target practice, on a damned big target at that. Who hunts with a pistol anyhow? Moreover, why do they even make a .50 cal pistol? The only thing it is good for is blowing gigantic holes in things from close range (and producing stray bullets that travel a long distance). I do feel a little sorry for the kid.

Also, while the pig certainly is big, there's a bit of exaggerated perspective going on in the picture. It's hard to see in the initial linked photo, but in a higher resolution photo you can tell that the kid is not actually resting on the pig itself. Lookie here..

Still, some "accomplishment."

Looks like there was more than just perspective trickery.
