Seeing as I can't find the poxy original thread....

It turns out that this wild hog had been wild for a grand total of 4 days.

His name was Fred.

It appears that the lad and his father were unaware that it was farm raised.

Poor Fred.

Well now I'm upset with the boy..

Do I smell lawsuit?

Do I smell lawsuit?

No thats roast Pork...

In Soviet Russia, hogs kill domesticated you!

Do I smell lawsuit?

Probably not. The boy and his father were hunting on the land legally, with permission from the owner, as well as paying the owner to hunt there. As far as I can tell, they really can't be held accountable for killing it, as they were there to hunt hogs. It is even likely that the owners bought the pig as game for their land.

Anywho, this should hopefully shut up some of the people who said "We should have studied it!1111!!!" and such nonsense.

wtf?

the soviet russia thing I believe comes from an episode of family guy..

if you'll look at the original thread on this i speculated as much there. the clue was in the 'commercial hunting reserve' or whatever it was refered to as.

I wanna know why there was an 11 yr old with a .50 cal pistol running through the woods lol...

A .50 caliber pistol? Pretty sure those don't exist, and if they did, it wouldn't take a dozen shots to bring down an Apache helicopter let alone a pig.

You couldn't be more wrong, uncultured swine.

Poor Fred.

Seeing as it was sold to a hunting preserve for use as a feral hog, by a farmer who hadn't been able to sell it for slaughter, no, not so poor Fred.

Well now I'm upset with the boy..

For what?

Do I smell lawsuit?

Why on earth?

the soviet russia thing I believe comes from an episode of family guy..

Errr... nooo.... Yakov Smirnoff, not Family Guy.

Errr... nooo.... Yakov Smirnoff, not Family Guy.

Don't be so harsh on the boy, No one these days takes the time to watch anyhing else...

Yes, I poked fun at Family guy

*Dons flame proof armor*

Yeah, and as far of commerically raised livestock goes, Fred had it very good.

I'm still waiting for a headline that reads "Hoax-zilla"

Well now I'm upset with the boy..

Why? If the article is correct, the boy and his father had no knowledge that the hog was farm raised.

Do I smell lawsuit?

Nah, that was me (I just farted). :D

The article states that the farmer that raised the hog would have sold it for slaughter, but sold it to the Lost Creek Plantation days before it was killed. The hog wasn't owned by the farmer anymore (so he can't sue the Lost Creek Plantation for killing his pet), and he stated that the hog was too big, and needed killing.

Probably not. The boy and his father were hunting on the land legally, with permission from the owner, as well as paying the owner to hunt there. As far as I can tell, they really can't be held accountable for killing it, as they were there to hunt hogs. It is even likely that the owners bought the pig as game for their land.

True, I guess when you allow people to hunt on your land, which incidentally is farm land, you're bound to lose some livestocks.

I wanna know why there was an 11 yr old with a .50 cal pistol running through the woods lol...

Um, he was "running through the woods" with a .50 cal revolver, because he was hunting.

Am I the only one who's laughing when he imagines a little boy actually running through the wood with a revolver?

.50 cal pistols and revolvers do exist. They're not .50 BMG though (there's .50 AE and .50 S&W, although I can't remember if there are any more).

He probably wasn't running (I'd imagine he was stalking, which is like a slow walk).

True, but imagine a 10 year old boy actually running through the woods, with a gun, it's still a funny image.

He was 11. But, I'd think that an 11 year old running through the woods (with a firearm or empty handed) could still be hilarious (there are many trip hazards in the woods). :D

still its a 50 cal if it was say a .45 or a 9mm so what an 11 yr old running through the Alabama forests with a .50 cal revolver is amusing and odd...for some reason when I was writing this I started thinking about the movie deliverance lol

Giant hog? How about a big pigg (http://www.register-news.com/local/images_sizedimage_143125354/xl)? :D


(that's my dad...get it...big pigg?....-dies-)

I believe "nekulturny" is the term you're looking for ;)

.50 cal pistols and revolvers do exist. They're not .50 BMG though (there's .50 AE and .50 S&W, although I can't remember if there are any more).

Ther are several wildcat chamberings usually base on the ruger Blackhawks. Plus there was at least one prototype bolt action pistol cahmbering the .50 BMG. I don't know if it ever made it to production. I beleive it was classed as "destructive ordinance" when built.

wtf are you on lol

I said family guy because thats where I first heard it my mistake...

.50 S&W (http://www.shootingtimes.com/handgun_reviews/monster_1103/)

.50 S&W (http://www.shootingtimes.com/handgun_reviews/monster_1103/)

This is an awesome weapon that is for sure. I still cannot believe the kid was using it. Not that he had a pistol but the fact it was a 50 cal.

To those sheltered children that can't believe a kid could carry let alone use a pistol or rifle. I say it is best to train kids how to use a gun properly when they are young. I don't know how many times I have taken adults out to shoot that do not properly know how to handle let alone fire a weapon. Many times I have had to take guns away from my friends and then do a quick rundown on basic gun safety. Now I ask before I hand someone a weapon if they are familiar with how to handle one.

There is also the Desert Eagle...crazy Israelis!

Magnum Research is the commercial site.

Oh yes they do.

There are several .50 revolver calibers.

None as big as .50 BMG, but they exist.

Google .500 Smith and Wesson, .50 Action Express, and so on.

Wrong there

I think theres an automatic too.

The Original Quote as far as I know comes from Family Guy. It is a joke about a russian GPS system. Someone is driving down the road and a female sounding voice with a russian accent says "Turn right at fork in road. In Soviet Russia, road fork you!"

Note this isn't a revolver though. This is a single-shot pistol.

It would have to be, considering the size of the .50 bmg round.

Er... no. Originally, those jokes come from a Ukrainian comedian from a while back, who was famous for his Russian reversals(And mocking of the Soviet Union). Look up Yakov Smirnoff.

I thought that they were originally jokes made by the Russian peasantry during the reign of the Soviet Union as opposed to having any one originator?

I could be wrong, of course.

And they weren't funny then, and now they are just old, tired and dumb.

Then again, only a fool expects originality from sheep.
