I've been wild boar hunting and can attest to their raw tenacity and aggressiveness. I find it a little unbelievable that the kid put eight rounds into a hog that big without getting charged. Boar spears ALWAYS feature a heavy crossbar below the tip because wild boars will literally impale themselves down a straight shaft in order to impale you! Oh....and what kind of Dad gives an 11-year old a 50-caliber revolver!!!? Jeez-o-whiz, it was all I could do at that age to get a friggin BB gun.
About 25 years ago, in my hometown in West Virginia, my uncle was the county ranger responsible for taking care of wildlife intruders. One particular day, a call came in about a bear seen scrounging through garbage near a trailer out in the hills. My cousin Terry, who was 17 at the time, answered the call. My uncle was out of town for the weekend. Terry grabbed his rifle and gear and set out alone. By six o'clock that evening he'd killed a 12-foot tall bear. The skin is now layed out in lobby of the town bank. Terry went on to serve as a Park Ranger in Alaska and is now teaching forestry at a state university. And he's still pretty much worshipped at our family reunions.

I've questioned whether or not this was real. Wild boars in the South get up to an average of 250 lbs... I've seen one as high as 400 lbs. 1,051 lbs is an insane size, and I'd love to know what he was living on to support his bulk. You don't get that fat on acorns.
As to the age of the hunter... I can believe that. The article said he'd been deer hunting since age 5, and that's about right. I was hunting at 6 or so with a Winchester .30-30.
The last thing that caught my eye was:

I figured this was a photoshop joke as well, but a quick google search pulled it up on a bunch of news sites (including FOX News, ABC, Yahoo, etc.)
So, how many HD, and what damage?

I didn't read the article but it is more likely a feral pig and not a true wild boar. The formerly domesticated pigs can get far larger and take on similar characteristics to their naturally wild cousins.

Check out monsterpig.com, might not be fake afterall. (could be too..can't tell by pictures).
comparing domestic pg to feral hog is a bit of a cheap and innacurate move on the fraud-claiming page. One animal likely has a hell of alot mor emuscle then the other animal. The feral one should be longer then the domestic one if the weights are true.

I think it's real. It's not even the largest one supposedly bagged this year.
Here's one from Georgia in January. It's supposed to be even bigger... over 1,100 pounds.

The big feral pig is not a exactly hoax.
It is a big pig.
But it's not as big a pig as it appears.
By putting the boy behind the pig - about seven feet behind according to one report - the pig is made to look larger than it really is.
Furthermore, the pig is not feral. It's a farm pig. The former owner has come forward and identified the poor animal. Even if the owner hadn't come forward, it was obvious that the pig was not wild, because it had no tusks.
