800lb. Alabama Hog Taken

[Kirk Freeman]

Samson, Alabama (Jenny) man takes 800+ pound hog with .38 revolver . . . from his porch. Great photos.

Samson is near the Florida border, perhaps 2 hour drive south of Montgomery, Alabama.

Wholly crap batman that's a lot of bacon hanging there.

If he truly shot the hog with a 38 from his porch that's one heck of a shot.

Bacon bonanza!

No doubt, I would have been afraid I would have just pissed it off with that.

That's one clean looking feral hog.

Have heard so much about the ineffectiveness of the .38 spl (and the toughness of hogs). This makes for an interesting story- "conventional wisdom" would indicate that it's not possible.

Geez, that's a lot of pork chops. How in the hell did it live long enough to get that big? I mean, in Sampson? They'll shoot and eat almost anything.

Long as you BBQ it and put sauce on it .... it all tastes the same.

I grew up in Louisiana and my Step-Dad's family were Creole, so I bet ate possum and didn't know about it. Heck it took me a year to try gumbo.

Lol, yeah you've probably had possum. Possom and Raccoon are things I had be tricked into eating.

Papaw told me the key to possum and raccoon is "low and slow, low and slow".....Same with muskrat.....

I've never seen a wild hog that large.
We've got plenty of wild hogs at the farm in TN. Upper central area.
I've seen a couple I think might go 500lbs but that one in the picture dwarfs them

My guess would be a head shot. The article says he was 12 yards out when he fired. So I could see that.

And technically, a .357 mag is a 38 caliber.

If he was man enough to stand 12yds away from that monster with a 38, then he should've just tore his shirt off and killed it bare handed
