Monster Pig killed by 11 year old.

Ah, those were the good ole days. Growing up on the plains of Africa, living on the banks of the Nile.
I have a question for those familiar with gun laws and hunting regulations. I just thought it a little odd to see an 11 year old kid hunting “large game” with a handgun. I know you have to be 21 to purchase a handgun, but is there a minimum age you have to be to fire one (even in the presence of an adult)?
That has to be one crazy family.
Father – “Here son, take this handgun and shoot that insanely huge boar”
Son – “But father, what if the first few shots don’t kill it and it charges me?”
Father – “Don’t worry. Although it can probably run faster than your chubby rear end, and it’s tusks can tear you open in a split second, it will probably slip on that trail of crap you’ll be leaving behind you. Oh yeah, before I forget, do this and I’ll finally be able to call you a man.”
Son – “But father, I’m only 11!”
Father – “??? You’re right…. well…. do this and we’ll post it on the internet.”
And for the anti-hunting folk… you’re entitled to your opinion, but all I hear is
… Sure, there are staged hunts such as baiting (corn piles) or releasing a captive herd across an open field, but don’t worry, they don’t get much respect from real hunters either.
“Hunting” is a lot more than “Duck Hunt” or “Big Buck Hunter” (or my favorite, “Prairie Dog Hunt”) where you sit there and wait a couple seconds for something to automatically appear and then point and shoot. Some hunts require you to track your game without being seen, heard, or even smelt. And when you get a shot, you have to know how to actually shoot a gun while dealing with real world physics such as wind speed/direction, angle of elevation (gravity), and movement (either that of the prey, or that of yourself).
I’m not an avid hunter, but heck, if they show Poker on ESPN, I’ll consider Hunting as a valid sport. I’ve never gone as far as paying a taxidermist to mount any of my kills, but the meat sure tastes great. Especially when you know it is fresh and that you have obtained it yourself. As opposed to that mystery meat at McDonalds. Wait a minute… chicken don’t have nuggets….
