Jamison Stone, 11, claimed he shot and killed a massive wild pig that weighed more than 1,000 pounds earlier this month. He said the animal measured more than 9 feet from tail to snout.

Jamison said he bagged the boar on a hunting preserve in eastern Alabama.

However, the animal's size had some wondering if the whole thing was tall tale, despite pictures provided by his father.

Now he has the swine's skull and some backup from a taxidermist. "Jerry (Cunningham), the taxidermist, brought me this bleached skull of my hog and this is a 1,051-pound hog skull and that's a ... 250-pound hog skull," the boy said, pointing to the skull of a smaller animal, placed next to his monster's hog for comparison.

Cunningham agreed with Jamison on the size of the boar. "I actually skinned this pig out," Cunningham said. "And

I know it was a 1,000-pound hog. It was that big. No doubt."
