Hogzilla Hunted!
 
Monster pig.
The hog was said to be over 9 feet in length.
Down in the backwoods of Alabama, a monster was stirring.

Not a bear or an alligator but a wild boar - a boar the size of a small truck.

The beast was big trouble for local farmers. But the hunt was up and the guy with the hog in his sights was an eleven-ear-old named Jamison Stone.

After a three-hour long hunt through the backwoods with the boar repeatedly charging and gnashing his jaws to warn the hunters off, Jamison made the killing shot.

The World Today spoke to him and his dad, Mike Stone.

First broadcast 28th May
