Some Positive Comments
Our e-mails are still about 85% positive
Whoa!! That is SOME PIG!! I've never hunted but lots in our family
do and they all respect God's creation of the land and the animals
by hunting fair and within the guidelines set up. These are some
great pictures of your boar and other animals that people have
hunted. God made the land AND the animals for us to use. We raise
our own cows to eat so that we know what we are eating and we get
our pork from others in our family who raise them just for our
family food. If I could, I think I would enjoy hunting our own food
too, I've just not had the opportunity. I am proud of your family
and the courage you have shown to set the record straight. God
bless you and your family and enjoy telling your story - it is
awesome!! Again, you shot an amazingly large boar!
Jamison ,
Great job killing that pig. I just wanted to
write in and say you should be proud you stuck with the hunt, as I
know all too well how vicious these animals can become. Allot of
folks just don't know, or are just plain ignorant!
I was farm raised on my grandparents farm. When I
was about your age, my grandma was complaining that several chickens
had come up missing, this went on for some time. One day I was out
in the back field sitting on a fence and caught the culprit, a
800-900 pound hog my grandparents had, wild looking and ill
tempered, tusks and all. I watched with a dropped jaw as a chicken
got too close, the pig snatched the chicken and proceeded to munch
down the whole thing as I heard bones crushing and feathers flying.
All the kids were warned to steer clear of that hog, surely was a
nasty one. The hog was put down soon after Grandma found out where
her chickens were going!
The negative comments people (some) obviously
have no clue about these animals. They are near wild even in the
pen, and will turn wild very quickly when released into the wild.
Maybe some ignorant people would like to have reached out to pet
one? You never mind the ignorance of these people who dare to
verbally attack an 11 year old kid using the most cowardly methods.
Your a brave soul Jamison, your father has taught you well and use
it just for good!
A pig that size was likely ill tempered and in
pain anyways, and better off being put down.
Much better to see headlines of you killing the
beast rather than the beast killing a child.
Well done! God Bless!
James
prosecutor in a liberal state, so just remember that most of those peta jerks are frustrated losers who never had a Dad take them hunting or do anything with
them and they are bitter deep down about it. I will say this though, I hope you learned that some critters need what the indians call big medicine. A 444 Marlin would probably do the job a lot better. If you ever feel like you are undergunned in the future for a particular animal, you might want to consider passing on the shot and taking him later with a weapon with more pop. But, shoot, you are only 11, if I were 11 I would have taken the shot!!! Hunting is a lifetime of lessons learned, many of which you will not see coming, much like life itself. I'm sure your Dad, who had a rifle backing you up knows this and wanted you to finish what you started.
Finally, always remember that people who disparage country folk are as scared and prejudiced against you out of total ignorance as the worst nazis and racists that have ever caused major world wars. Be proud of being a southerner.
Rick
Nice job! You are obviously learning that there a lot of jealous people in this world. Don't let the people take the fun out of the outdoors.
The salmon pictured below is the biggest I've ever caught, but I still keep going after bigger ones. Maybe your next boar will be bigger yet!
Congratulations!
Steve
Good
for you Jamison!!!!
I
think you have handled this whole situation with grace and dignity.
That is quite an accomplishment for anyone, let alone an 11 year old
when everyone has an opnion about your hunting trip. I have an 11
year old daughter and she has just stated asking to go hunting. I
have always been scared of guns, but her daddy grew up hunting. I
would much rather her go hunting the way you did than just out in
the woods. (Safty First)
There
are people in this world that lash out at others out of jealousy,
ignorance, hatred, fear, or just because they can. Don't let them
get to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. You didn't stoop to their level.
WOW!! I bet your parents are so proud they sit and talk about how
great you are behind your back. HAHAHA
SALT
congratulations, on your killing the
pig??? i sure wish it could have been me!!
son im 72yrs old ,pay no attention to the anti hunting slobs. you
have something to be proud off .
Jamison my man,
that is an awesome boar! I am also an avid hunter from Alabama and
have never seen a hog like that! Ignore the ignorant PETA people and
keep up the good work! Props to your dad and family for supporting
you. We need more people like yall. I cant say that I would have
been brave enough to do that bud. You are doing God’s work and
people that say you aren’t are taking bits and pieces from the Bible
and twisting it to mean what they want it to. Nevertheless,
Excellent hunt and keep up the good work bud. You’ve got many fans
here in Montgomery and across the US. We all love you! MAY GOD BLESS
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! HAPPY HUNTING!
Alan
Jamison,
Don't let anyone, ever, tell you that hunting is wrong. People throughout your life will tell you that it is immoral and unethical and all kinds of other garbage. It is simply not true. Hunting is not only a family tradition for many families, it is part of America's heritage. It is your birthright as a citizen and you should take every advantage of it. You should take a minute to thank your father for the gift he has given you to appreciate the outdoors and the sport of hunting. I have hunted with my father for more than 24 years and still do every year. I am proud of each and every animal I harvest, and I offer a simple prayer thanking the lord for allowing me that harvest. I read some of the negative comments. Understand one thing that the morons from animal rights groups don't, a mount is a way to honor your harvest. It is not degrading, it is memorial to a magnificent animal that you harvested.

To Jamison's dad: You should be extremely proud of your son and way to go on keeping our hunting heritage alive. Kudos.
Stephen
Jamison,
I just wanted to congratulate you on a
job well done!!!! I grew up in farming country in PA and can tell
you even a small(200 lb) farm raised hog can be real nasty. For my
self up here in PA, I don't have a need to hunt a preserve, but I
remember my dad talking about hunting in France. From what he told
me, it was all hunting preserves-- nothing open to the public.
As a brother in Christ, just put your
trust in Him and, if you seek Him, He will guide you. Also, there
is nothing wrong with being a redneck. Remember, Hank Williams, Jr.
said a country boy will survive.
I'll be praying for those who wish you
ill. Also, I'll pray that He gives you the strength to weather the
"nasty" comments.
Keep your head up and your aim
straight. The best gun control is being able to hit what you aim
at.
Your Brother in Christ,
Jacques Wagner

If a peaceful world is what we want, if a fair and just world is what we want, then we must work to refine ourselves, our reactions, our deeds, to be exceptional and to set the standard for our brothers to strive for.
We all have examples around us for this Golden standard. If we do not know of a perfect person, or do not believe that one ever truly existed, then we can take the best qualities of those around us and work to incorporate them into our own habits and personalities.
Life is a journey towards Christ. The first step is asking for forgiveness, but many believe this is all that must happen. To be truly free, we must refine ourselves until we are free of ever committing sin in the first place. Until that day, as Christ said, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone. We are with God when we ask for forgiveness, we are with God when we lay our acts down before him - but somehow we slip away from His Grace. It is ever-vigilance and determination that allows us to climb the inner ladder and attain greatness of soul. With practice, Grace will be with us more and more as we work to get out of its way.
Some people have noted that eating meat is a sin in today's world. There is strong argument for this case, as there is also argument that the "American" lifestyle in general is sinful, however this is something that God had not directly commented upon in the Bible, which leaves most of us in the dark on what to do. A thousand years ago, when the world was a smaller place, and when animals were raised without the use of hormones and factory farming, when food was not available from across the world at any moment- eating meat was a necessity for survival, and was a practice that did not take advantage of animals and our God given authority over them.
In today's world, much has changed, and in order to maintain our moral authority, in order to contribute to the betterment of the world, certain questions must be asked - and that is why there is a growing trend of humanely harvested and grown meat resurfacing.
I urge all readers to look at their own lives with the eye of God. One free of judgment - where we can overcome our pride to see what we can do to make the world a better place. Pride is that thing that does not allow us to admit that there may be another way, that we may not be all-knowing.
In this world, we must be careful to take everyone's word with a grain of salt. We do not know who is truly just and who uses the word of God for his own advantage, or with the desire to keep society from shifting into something else, something unknown. For that reason, we must use our own discrimination to weigh every argument against our own divine soul. We must ask God for guidance from within, and listen to that place of Peace.
Dare to disagree with your peers. Dare to listen to your heart and be an individual. If our peers take us away from a place of Grace, then our duty is to walk separate from them.
We all know what Grace feels like. It is peaceful, it is joyful, it is shattering and it is entirely free of ego. Grace does not reinforce our hubris, Grace does not make us better than anyone else, Grace does not make us feel powerful. Grace shows us the infinite depth of the soul, it humbles us and brings us to the lap of the Lord.
Thank you for providing this moment for all of us to learn about ourselves, and about the qualities of ego that arise and separate us from God's Grace, so that we may learn to overcome them.
Hi Jamison,
I would like to congratulate you on a great hunt!! I too am from the south (growing up between Jasper, AL and Georgetown, SC) and was raised in a hunting family. I cannot imagine what was going thru your head when you seen this HUGE pig, but I am proud of you for holding it together (as I would have lost my mind). Please don’t take into consideration anything that people are saying in the negative comments, they all need to realize that everyone is different, and no one can change that. Keep up the good work in school, and hold your head up high. Also thank you to all the troops that are overseas fighting for our rights, and our lives. Me and my children hope everything turns out good for you all.
Hollie, now living in Aiken, sc
This is actually a positive comment, but
would like you to post it in the negative comments area - as I wish
to let all those with negative comments know how I feel about THEM.
There is no reason these people should
be calling Jamison "fatty" or "redneck" or the like... Jamison went
out with his dad and had a good time doing it. It amazes me how
narrow minded some of those posters really are...
If they disagree with you guys, why
bother looking at your website... they CHOSE to view your website,
yet they make rude, obnoxious and inappropriate comments towards
it...
How about that maturity level... I am
30, and got over calling people "fatty" and other mean-spirited
names when I was 5!!
Best of luck to you guys... Keep
fighting these turds.... they don't have a clue what they are
talking about....
Best Wishes, TJ
Anyone willing to hunt a hog that large with a handgun certainly deserves kudos for their accomplishment. Many people far older than you would be scared to death to face a foe that large. And the stalk after wounding a hog the size of a Griz had to be truly spine-tingling.
To the animal rights idiots who don't approve of hunting, the hog was too large for breeding, a threat to guests at the farm where he was kept, and a threat to escape his confines and threaten neighbors and other domestic animals, so, perhaps the hog could have shared your city digs? I thought not.
That hog was for shooting and eating, not protecting and coddling.
may you have many happy hunts dude!!!!! Kill em and grill em!!!!!!!
Hi guy's Steve from New Jersey and I
just wanted to say it's nice to see parents and children doing
something together, weather it's hunting, fishing or just taking a
ride. stay close and have fun.
Hey, who knew? These things happen. No big deal. They sold Fred to be hunted and that’s what happened. If he would have walked out in front of me I would have shot him just as you did. Keep on hunting. Scott
victory.......A big critter, but a small victory....God is building you into a strong and godly man for much bigger victories in your life. You have been given strength to go through challenges. You will be ready to encourage others who go through "mixed blessings" with a word in due season. God blessed the food that we eat. He said if it offend your brother that you eat meat, refrain from eating meat(while they are present) He also told us to pray to your Father in your prayer closet. Prayer is nothing to be ashamed of and niether is eating, preparing, buying, providing and dining on meat.......all good.....all a provision of God. He is so good. He gives us such wonderful things to enjoy....just for the sheer joy of it......Think of it.....HE gave us color to brighten what we look at. He gave us flowers....He gave us food, inclusive of meat. Your father, who taught you about hunting and went with you for this amazing experience.......GOD BLESS HIM, for being actively involved in the life of his precious son, YOU. My son, grew up without a father. His father was addicted to alchohol. He has died from liver disease and spent very little time teaching his son anything. My son has grown into a fine man, because of the influence of God, as his father. He is a perfect Father, but HE did intend for us to have a human father in our lives. You are blessed and you will continue to be a blessing in this life and in the life to come.
Many more blessings!!!! Tanis (Matt from Tallahassee's mom)
I was totally repelled at the
comments aimed at the young man who shot the big hog. I am a
permanent resident of this beautiful country for three years now
but am a South African by birth. I thought that this country
cherished their young and the great majority do, but it seems
the "loony left" have no such morals. ( nor much education in
the three R's!)Quite a few messages actually threatened his life
and wished him an ill fate. I hope the Feds take note of these
individuals.
On a better note; I spent
seventeen years in the African bush as a trapper, hunter,
Professional hunter, soldier, anti poaching instructor and
problem game control officer. I lived with a rifle for seventeen
years. NOBODY can guarantee a one shot kill and neither is it
ethical or responsible. On the more dangerous game it is
standard practice to put in a "follow up" or "insurance" shot
before approaching the supposedly "dead" buff, lion, leopard
etc. One time I was loath to waste an extra round of .458 on an
eland in the northern Transvaal. I had crossed a knee deep fast
moving stream to get to the carcass and dropped my ammo pouch in
the water. Sun warmed shells suddenly quenched in very cold
water will usually draw moisture into the case and so are not to
be trusted. With only three 'reliable' rounds left for a six
mile walk through thick bush and big game back to my truck I
prepared to bleed the very large antelope. As I straddled his
neck and pulled back his head for the knife, the supposedly
'dead' animal lunged - sending a horn through the front of my
pants and lightly grazing my groin. Two inches more and my
femoral artery would have been severed, leaving me to bleed out
in about two minutes. Young mister Stone showed great
courage and confidence in taking the first shot and then
dedication in following up on his responsibility to not leave a
wounded animal to get away. I would be honored to hunt with you,
mr Stone.

hey buddy,
i've been guiding for about 10 years
now. don't let all these low life loosers tell you how to live
YOUR life. we all have to answer on our own judgement day. lucky
for you and i we have to answer to the same judge
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good luck and keep on the hunting.
if you ever need a guide in OKLA. or TEXAS give me a
shout. congrats
Matt
Robin, Tom and Wyatt
Congrats on the adventure... I used to love to
bow hunt when I was young. I loved it. Hunting at a game ranch was
never my thing but lots of people hunt that way anymore due to the
decline in available hunting lands. I just wanted to send a short
note of support as you and your dad were honest in what happened and
the media turned it into something else. I'm waiting to see you in
the Hogzilla movie.
Steve, Oklahoma City
less 1 that weighs 1052 pounds be proud of that all animals are wild there is no animal that was born to be a pet not even a dog so to me its a 100% wild animal and u deserved it but man congrats hunt hard
Well done young man. The good thing is
you're raised in the south where things like this are normal life.
To the outsiders from the rest of the world, it all seems so taboo
the way folk live. I tell you one thing I am blessed to have lived
down there in Pensacola, FL for 20 years. If the word were to come
to armageddon it would be the folks such as yourself who would
survive, knowing how to hunt and live off the land. There's plenty
of folk who have a lot of bad things to say, don't ever let it get
to ya. Don't end up full of hate and anger like these people. I'm
one of those people and it's no way to be. I have nothing but good
things to say here and well done young man. It's something to be
proud of. I always like to remember a favorite song titled "A
country boy can survive" by Hank Williams JR. Maybe one day you'll
get to hear this song and feel proud inside about this
acclomplishment.
Well done Jamison, proud of ya young
man!! Fullerton,CA
I first of all would like to wish you a huge congratulations. I like to hunt also. I plan to hunt wild hogs later this summer in Georgia and maybe in Florida. That hog is a big trophy, and you should be proud of it and your experience.
I'd also like to congratulate your father for being a great dad. Way to go dad! These days people are hunting less and developing liberal values partially because there are fewer and fewer fathers and even fewer active fathers.
I'm very proud of you both. I am so sorry for those awful comments that people left on your site. Please disregard them. These days it seems the weirdos (terrorists, child molestors, rapists, gays, murders, and PETA members) are encouraged to speak up, but the good guys are told to be quiet.
It makes the weirdos sound like they are the majority. They aren't, that's why they're weirdos. They are the minority. Remember, people crticized Jesus alot, and it definately didn't make him wrong.
Good luck, keep hunting and praying, and keep your head up high. You guys did nothing wrong. On the contrary, you did somethings that were right, very right. I am so proud of both of you, and I'm disghusted to hear that people would so openly criticize you both for doing the right thing.
Not that killing that animal was the right thing, but that killing any animal for sport/food is the right thing, especially when a father teaches his son how to do it. Father/son bonding, reducing wild hog population, food on the table, big huge trophy, wonderful experience. Sounds like a pretty positive experience. I'd be proud to hunt next to you guys anytime. Wish me luck this summer, I'm going to hunt hogs throughout late June-August. Maybe with your prayers and luck, I can come up with something half as big. Then I'll be forced to carry it out of the woods. hahaha. God blessed me with arms and legs and friends to help, so I hope so.
Matthew
Tallahassee, FL
P.S. to your dad: My dad appreciates what you have done for your son even though the criticism you have received. I know my letter to Jamison may not be posting material but you are more than welcome to chop pieces out of it to post. You have my permission just please do not use my name just for the sake of some stupid army rules. I'd like to hear back from you guys and send another email when i get a chance. Again congratulations and represent us well in the movie!! I wish i could be in it!
Even on the farm, I was never to go into
the pig pen! Pigs are very dangerous animals!
You may not know this, but the animal
that kills the most people in Africa is the hippo. Also know as a
"River Pig"!
We have lots of feral hogs running loose
here in Alabama. And as a hunter, a feral cat is any cat running
loose in the woods. Even someone's pet!
When they get into the woods, they kill
anything they can, baby rabbits are a favorite of theirs. When I
grew up in Ohio, where rabbit hunting is the most popular, most
hunters would shoot any cat they saw in the woods. And for good
reason. They would kill small animals, and usually just leave them
lay, if they were someone's pet. True feral cats would usually eat
most of what they killed, since they weren't going home to be fed.
So anyone that doesn't consider your hog "Feral", isn't a hunter. When they are running loose for any length of time, they are feral. Period. We have people whose hogs get out, and never are found. Those are the most common, and they sure cause a lot of damage! If any show up on our thirty acres, I will definitely shoot them. probably with my 12 gauge using slugs.
I read that a hunter shot a buffalo out west with a 12 gauge slug gun, and it dropped in about 15 seconds! Most buffalo shot with magnum rifles don't drop that fast.
Again, congratulations!
I am a member of the NRA, and hope you
are also? Also a member of he second amendment foundation, which I
think is equally important. There are so many people that want to
take away our rights to own guns and hunt. We must always keep our
guard up, or we will end up like Canada, Australia, England, which
have lost their rights to freely own guns. As a matter of fact, I
think we are the only country left that people can own pistols, and
buy and use other firearms. I have lived in Canada, and there you
cannot own a pistol. And other firearms are so restricted that it is
almost impossible to buy one. Hunting is also very restricted. I was
not able to hunt there, without spending so much time and money
getting my license, and if I did, there were very few places I could
hunt.
So keep up the good hunting! And be
sure to safeguard our rights so your children and grandchildren can
also!
Your fellow American, Bill Miller
To Jamison's Dad
I just saw your site and read some of
the negative comments. I just wanted to tell you to keep spending
the quality time with your son.
I have 2 young son's ages 9 and 7. At
an early age I introduced them to hunting through DVD's. Last year
my oldest son took his first deer. I video taped the whole thing.
These times in the woods have been real
quality time for us. Don't let the negative comments stop you from
that time with Jamison. Your raising him right!
If your ever in NC look me up me and
we'll take our boys hunting.
Lou
Most of the
civilized and decent people that make up this great country of
ours are behind you.
Those who cast
stones at your accomplishments are either jealous or are simply
morons. (makes me sick)
Stand proud and
focused...after all...there's a 1,100 pounder out there that needs
to be claimed!
Cheers.
Go Army!

Well I am appalled at some of the comments of so called adults regarding this .To sit and use profane language to a eleven year old boy is disgusting .They talk of ignorance. Well to attack a person due to size ,racial ,ethnic or religious grounds is ignorant .One could not even spell Iraq. Calling the killing of animals a act of terrorism is a typical comment of PETA.
PETA has been called a terrorist organization .To win people to your viewpoint is by reason and debate .Sorry I saw little reason or debate just name calling .
So let’s review based on the evidence .
Well the comment about the animal being too large for the pig slaughter house .so therefore it was sold to the game farm .Well wrong slaughterhouse . Down the road to the cow slaughter house where they could take care of an animal that size no problem .
When one is hunting and wounds an animal it is his responsibility to kill it . Why ? well if you don’t the next human it meets it will take its vengeance out . That has been how man has hunted since the stone ages . They deliberately wounded animals to slow them .down. Cruel?? To them it was a matter of survival.
All these people that protest should realize that that their attacks ring hollow as they load their shopping carts at the meat isle .
Have A Great Day,The peace of Christ
Eric A. Whalley
As a pig owner myself, I totally agree with what he done. I have a pig for slaughter and a pig as a pet. And I do understand if they get out of the pen there is a chance of someone stocking their freezer before I can find them. If I had a chance to take down a pig this size I would have done it. I hunt when I can and I do not discourage the sport or feeding my family. Do not get down about the negative remarks by IGNORANT PEOPLE that have no life or have not truly read the bible. Keep hunting, be safe and be a true southerner. Hunt, fish, live off the land and what god gave you. You did a great job by not giving up on the hog after you wounded him, that’s what makes a responsible hunter. Jessica GA
I just want to send a quick note to you and your dad and tell you that you have nothing to be ashamed of, given the way this story has turned out.
Very simply - you're a good kid, you've got a good father, and if you continue to hold your head high, you're bound to be successful.
Work hard, study hard, pray a lot, and have some fun.
Take care of yourself,
Brandon
Way to go Jamison!
You'll hear negative stuff about it I'm
sure. You'll hear postive stuff too and that's that you need to take
to heart. It wasn't the fact that you killed an animal, or even that
the animal was so huge, it was the fact that you showed courage and
wherewithal and stuck with it even after it didn't go down with the
first shot. You went out there for an experience, and you got one; a
bigger one than you expected probably!
Everyone has their challenges in life,
and they come when we least expect it. You meet them head on, you
don't flinch, and you surmount them, that is a lesson you've just
learned, and all this negative trash talk is really just a
continuation of that lesson. The nay-sayers are laying a challenge
before you; you can let it beat you, or you can beat them by staying
proud of your accomplishment.
That's all the advice I can give, and
I'm sure you've heard it before, your dad sounds like a great guy
who has done his all to instill good values in you. The only other
thing I can say is: next time, take a bigger gun! :) With a rifle
perhaps you could have done it in less shots!
Best Regards,
Matt
the negative comments get to you. I'm very religios so i do think it was
very wrong to kill and make the pig suffer, but because i'm religious, i
know god forgives and i don't think you'll go to hell. I did something
similar with a bb gun and a bird recently and i don't think god will hold
the grudge against me. I'm close to your age to so i understand how the
negative comments could affect you becasue even i got upset reading them.
Just be yourself and don't let anyone tell you diiferently especially ones
who tell you in the way the negative comment people did. I made a mistake
killing the bird and i understand that now. I'm also and overweight person
and i think the peolple who wrote those comments are the type who are
bullies and honestly have no real lives. Be cool man! Peace
Jamison,
You are a great young man. I don't care if that hog was a pet, or
if it was wild. YOU stood toe to toe with it, YOU shot it, and it's
YOU that stands proudly next to your trophy in that photo. You have
every reason to be proud of your accomplishment.
Don't listen to all those stinkers who want to send nasty mail. You
keep praying for them!
God Bless,
Adrienne Batross
Kid great job. A lot of the people who are negative and hate mongers
tend to forget what America was built on. If most of them could talk
to there great grandparents they would learn that they had to hunt
farm and log to live. It is a great thing to be American and even
greater when you have a chance to preserve the American heritage
that most of us should have a chance to experience. In my defense
for you and America I sent a thread on AOL trying to explain to
these short minded people that they should stop lashing out at you.
That it is time for them to do something other than run the mouth,
like try to shorten hunting seasons if that is what they want, or to
join organizations to make land preserves bigger because we all know
that privileges in America come with a price and if no one is
willing to pay we may soon lose those privileges that come with
being a true hearted American. When people forget about their
ancestors and heritages this country is in trouble. Stay strong,
Good job. May god bless you and your family.
Remember this: stand for something or you could fall for anything.
American heritage is still strong in the right minded people.
Good luck on the next hunt.
PS, you should come to Washington and hunt some Roosevelt elk they
are big and tasty.
Hey Jamison congratulations on that monster hog you killed! I saw
it in the paper and it looked like a car. My name is Dylan and I
live and Bedford Texas. I'm 11 years old and I like to hunt
myself. My favorite thing to hunt is probably Quail and Dove,
Pheasant is fun too. I've hunted a lot of hog in East Texas but I
haven't shot anything. Once again congratulations on the hog.-Dylan
I want to congratulate you on the hunt. I have read the details and found the pig was original farm raised. In my opinion, that in no way makes your accomplishment one bit less grand. You hunted fairly and succeeded. I also want you to know that the anger voiced against you is the result of liberalism to the core. They hate, they vilify and they castigate. All because they view their own opinion as the only opinion.
Whatever you do, whatever you take away from this, be kind, loving and helpful. Never turn out hateful and ugly. You can see what that does for people. You are on your way to being a good adult, keep that direction.
May you have a great life.
perimogi
Jamison,
there are things in life that hit you
as fast as they can, and sometimes to slow down and take advantage
of your rights and privledges pays off big. i think that hunting
anything is a god send, and should be taught to all kids for
responsibility, pride, hard work, and dedication to a craft. and you
my friend are that poster child. your family is a prime example of
what can happen in someones life if they dedicate themselves to
anything, and follow thru. and you and your family have done that.
keep up the good work and if you ever get to southern illinois. look
me up. we have some great hunting around here too.
best wishes,

No matter what it is, some people are always going to say bad things
when they don't understand a situation. Don't pay any attention to
the negative people. I know from experience how big pigs/hogs can
get cause my daddy used to raise them in Kentucky. We have had some
huge hogs before and they can get very violent (especially a board)
I had a sow when I was in 3rd grade that I raised from a baby and
even took her to show and tell at school (that was 30 something
years ago) anyway she got to be around 900 pounds or so and finally
died from milk fever after having a liter of pigs. Anyway, all I am
saying is that hog was bound for trouble and when a boar gets that
big he can be nobody's family pet. No matter how you cut it (no pun
intended) you did the right thing; you went to hunt a pig and you
did and you got one, a big one and I think you should be
congratulated on it because it is an accomplishment whether it be a
wild boar or not and to me when they get that big they do become
feral because nothing is going to stop em except a bullet and a
frying pan. Good job!!!

On the other hand, some of the negative comments to this 11 year old are horrible. I live near Philly, where most young kids shoot each other instead of hunting. If there were more kids like Jamison who take up hunting and stay in school, the world wound be a better place.
Funny quote a friend sent me:
"If God didn't want us to hunt animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat"
Congratulations Jamison;
No matter what is said, or who says it, that hog was a trophy for
you and a once in a life time possibility. The hog obviously was
available for hunting and so be it. Those of us that are aware of
hogs and the damage they create totally understand. You have
harvested a trophy and did so honorably. The only downfall to this
event is hog hunting will be just that from now on, as the
possibility of topping what you have done will be
humdrum.........HEY! if I had shot that hog I could live with
humdrum and so will you. :) :) :)
Hold your head high son, cherish this experience and your father as
well. Congratulations to you and your dad, hold your heads high and
forget those other "types" of people. We are all entitled to our
opinions, and done so correctly so be it. There, did mine and I feel
better about it already. Happy hunting!!!!!

You achieved some good things,
Jamison: 1) You got to enjoy the thrill of nabbing & eating
a legendary giant-pig amid media fan-fare; and, 2) You're helping
the cause of American Liberty by re-popularizing hunting &
gun-collection while putting a decent human-face to our Second
Amendment-rights. Keep smiling, kid; the folk that count love ya!
Libertarianly Yours in Hollywood,

Congrats on that awesome kill! I grew up in Alabama for 19 years (before moving to Florida for animation school) and I never thought that something that big could be living out in the woods here. Wow. As a fur pelt and skull collector, I was totally geeking out when I found out about your kill. Will you post pictures of the head mount when it is finished? What happened to the body cape? Dude, I bet it was so big you could cover a car with it.
I just want to say, don't think twice about Stinkyjournalism! Monsterpig.com has gotten more hits in the last two weeks than that site has ever gotten in it's entire existence. (You think I'm kidding?) No one has heard of Stinkyjournalism. I've been an internet freak for over 10 years and haven't heard of this place until just yesterday. Also, your photos do not look "fake" at all. I know what a fake photo looks like, I've been working with Photoshop since I was 15.
Don't let the negative backlash get to you. God has a way of throwing as many life lessons as he can in every thing that happens to us. From what I have seen around the internet (and I have seen a lot), the response from your amazing kill has been pure astonishment from all sorts of different people. To beat that hog, you're gonna' have to buy and elephant gun and plan a trip to Africa.
Writing this email has got me hungry for bacon. God bless!
I would like to bless you with health, wisdom and kindness.
Now that you have attracted prominence, more than ever you will need the right kind of guidance to steer you right in the full days of rich life ahead of you. A life full of good deeds and helping others will always be rewarded from Heaven.
You may have saved someone from the danger of a vicious animal. I am personally familiar with the apprehension of these savage animals in rut while I was on late-evening hikes through Tennessee or northern Alabama woods.
Regarding those who valued animal life above that of human, and wished you evil using most foul and uncouth language - may you have patience and learn the contrary - always speak well of others, defend human life, help others, be honest in all that you do, and your days on Earth will be long and joyful.
Bless God,

Congrats on bringing down the hog! It's an amazing accomplishment and you deserve to be proud! I read some of the negative comments and it never ceases to amaze me what horrid things ignorant people will say. I have two children, a boy, 6 and a daughter who is 11, just like you. Her eyes lit up when she saw the picture of you with the hog. She too has hunted since she was able to hold a gun and the first thing she said was "I wanna get one of those!!!"
So, from my entire family line of hunters...to yours, Congratulations Jamison!
Sincerely,
Ms. Corie L. Anziano
Stone's are great and so was your trophy. Enjoy your time in the spotlight and remember God put that boar in your sights for a reason. This will be a big growing experience for you, whether you realize it or not yet. Best of luck in the movie and keep up the good grades.
Regards,
Mark Stone
ps. I am proud of you.
Jamison,
I want to congratulate you on the successful hunt. I know that you
now know that this is a really big deal, and not just a really big
pig. I've known your father (Mike) as a friend and business partner
for more than
10 years. I know Mike is doing a good job of raising and training
you to be a responsible young man. I read some of these negative
comments from apparently ignorant folks, ( they also probably
believe in the big bang and the theory of evolution), so take their
comments with a grain of salt and forget it. They would never
understand the sport of hunting anyway. I would like to have been
there on the hunt with you, but had to work out of town that week.
I'll be praying that you can enjoy this once in a life experience.
Robert O'Neal
Jamison,
Great job young man, your dad must be
jumping around like crazy. He'll never top that one so you are up on
him big time.. :-) It's better to be involved in Hunting, Fishing or
sports than out doing drugs or drinking. I have to say that I was
more glad to read that you are a brother in Christ than killing the
hog but that is icing on the cake. May God bless you as you get
older and pray for his guidance in your life.
PS. Don't listen to those crazy people
on the other side just pray that god will take the hate out of
them..
Thanks Shawn

Way to go Jaminson. You da' man..!!!!
Just be careful when returning bask to this area That dude
might have a bunch of kinfolk in the area.
I have rhymed a few lines describing
just how all this happened, ( well, almost anyway,)

Now here's a story about Jamison, the
huntin' "man,"
Walking in the woods...as quiet as he
can....
Then...all of a sudden...like thunder,
did roar,
Something mighty big, through the woods
he tore..!
Now Jaminson was ready...pistol in
hand....said
to himself...Man, I gotta' hurry with my
plan.
So, quickly he ducked behind a
tree...this big
thang is a' comin......woweeeeeeee.....!!!!
With pistol all ready...this monster in
sight...Jaminson
said...I gotta' do this right.
The thang' comes 'a chargin'....snortin'
and spittin'....
Should I shoot or maybe be a'getttin
!!!!
Naw, said Jaminson....I'm gonna sit
tight....raise
my pistol....get that thang' in
sight....Cock back
the hammer...and my trigger squeeze....BLAMMMM
!!!!!
Then it dropped to it's knees.
Making sure..this monster was dead....Jaminson
reloaded
gave the thang more lead....He heard a
loud grunt...with
one last sigh...asked Jaminson to tell
the other monster hogs
...he said good bye.
I don't hunt; I don't understand the
attraction to hunting. However, my issue is not with the fact
that a young boy shot a wild boar (Note to the nay-sayers: these
boars are an introduced species to the Southeast. They don't belong
here. They have no natural enemies; they wreck havoc on our
ecosystems and they can be vicious). My issue is with the folks
sending negative emails. I am shocked and appalled at the contents
of some of these letters. Folks who have so much compassion for
a pig have no trouble whatsoever telling an 11-YEAR-OLD BOY to
"Burn in Hell". It's okay to tell a KID you hope
he gets shot someday, or catches a disease from eating tainted
pork; advise him to kill himself and his father, call him a
terrorist, curse at him and call him vile, cruel names, but
it's such a terrible tragedy to kill a hog??? People, we are
talking about a CHILD here. How many of you would
walk up to a SIXTH-GRADER on the street and say
these horrible things to his face? Do you think your comments are
any less hurtful or damaging because they are written instead of
spoken?? You don't have to like what this young boy did. You don't
have to agree with what this young boy did. But for the love of
God, you do need to remember that this is a YOUNG BOY
you are writing to! Jamison, I'm sorry for the cruelty of adults
who should know better.

Dear little big man, I must say what courage you
have ,and a job well done. What an inspiration to young hunters, and
seasoned hunters alike in keeping an American tradition alive!
What an exciting time in your life! and people
around the globe, as well as I, appreciate you for sharing this
special moment to us all ! This will be the shot that was heard
around the world ! Congratulations Mr. Stone ! and congratulations
to your parents for doing such a fine job in raising you up to such
a fine young man. Jamison, when this all sinks in you will realize
that this was much more than a trophy hunt. Not only did you inspire
the lives of many, your courage will provide jobs, add stability in
businesses, and help fuel the economy in many ways around the world.
As for the negative people posting comments, most of them love the
taste of meat, but are too chicken to process it themselves, so they
have people like us to do it for them. God Bless America Home of
the free because of the brave !
Thank You Kevin
C. in California
P.S. I'd share my
campfire with you guys any day.
"Congratulations Jamison!"
I began reading some of the negative comments and I had to stop.
It's sad that there are people in this world who have such
little self-respect that they put it off on others. I have an 11
year old who also loves to hunt and fish. First, I commend your
father for taking the time to teach you how to hunt responsibly
and for giving you that father-son time together. That's alot of
what's wrong with people now...they have no one who shows that
they REALLY care. Next, I commend you for a job well done. I'm
proud of you for having the courage to stick it out and prove to
yourself that you could do it, with others there to help protect
you of course. Hold your head high and keep faith in yourself
and God and you will go far in life and accomplish much things.
Do NOT let negative comments get you down. Most of those people
probably eat meat themselves, which are"animals" that are
"killed". They're just lonely and unhappy in their lives in some
way and the only way they know how to deal with it is to put
people down. I'm sure you're NOT the first they've said things
like this to. Keep them in your prayers and ask God to help
direct THEM away from the devil.
Johnette from S.C.

Also, CONGRATULATIONS on your grades!!!
Keep up the good work!!!
Dear Jamison,
Your father has obviously taught you a good deal about being a man,
and you can be very proud of your accomplishment! Since the dawn of
time, men have hunted for food, and that's why a man's aptitude for
putting food on the table even today is a measure of a man's worth.
The second lesson that's come from this is something that no father,
unfortunately, can teach his son: that some people are jealous,
rude, and have only hate to share with this world. You've been the
object of some of that, but don't spend time worrying about it.
Some people are alive simply because of the efforts of better men.
You are doubtless one of these 'better men." As you get older,
people will slap your hand even as you provide shade for them. Do
your best to provide the shade anyway, and you'll leave this world
better than when you found it.
With respect on a job well done,
Brian Bates
Jamison,
I just read your good news on
foxnews.com and you are an awesome
kid. You can thank our fore fathers for our American right to bear
arms. The people who leave negative feedback must not know that they
are here because someone used a gun to defend freedom and more than
likely ate a pig or two along the way. I hope your going again next
year! I'm looking foward to checking on your updates... Girl in

I've just now seen the news article about you and the big pig on the Fox News website. I read all of the posted responses for both negative and positive. I think the only worthwhile thing I can add to the positive responses, is that I envy your dad's fathering abilities. I have four kids at home, including two son's, ages 10 and 13. We spend the money to send them all to a Christian school, but we have missed-out on so many father-son activities like hunting. I'm on my third year of being deployed to Iraq and now Afghanistan. Your story gives me renewed conviction to make the time, when I get home, to do these type things with my kids. Congratulations and God Bless.

I would personally like to thank Mike for his email and would like to use it to encourage everyone to remember and pray for our American Soldiers. They are making the hard sacrifice to be away from their families. They are missing the ballgames, graduations, hunting/fishing trips, and being able to give good night hugs and kisses with their prayers for their children. This is the Prayer Jamison sends to our Soldiers in replay to their emails:
May God Bless and keep you Guys
Safe and Strong, may our enemies not see you coming and Fear
you, may God keep you Brave in battle and send his angles to
protect you and see you safely home when the battle is
finished. Thank you for my freedom Amen. This prayer is from
my family to you Guys, Pass It Around:
Jamison
Please Remember,
Jamison's Dad
Courage, persistence,
fine follow through! And your truthful Christian dad lets the full
range of comments be seen at the website- that's how news should be
reported, instead of the twisted half-truths and lies of commission
and omission that they dump on us. Our heroes in Iraq and
Afghanistan are doing what needs to be done.
God bless you and your
family. God Bless the USA!

Please consider posting the
following in response to the Negative comments...(without my
e-mail address, please).
FIrst and foremost, I am not a hunter. I grew up in the South,
learned how to target shoot with all manner of guns, we had guns
in the house, etc.. However, I've never personally understood
the thrill of killing. Especially if the kill isn't with one or
two quick, "good kill" shots. (Not to imply this kid didn't try
to take the hog out with one or two quick shots.)
That said, four points for the negative posters to consider:
1) Ferral hogs are NOT indigenous to the U.S. They wreck havoc
on indigenous eco-systems, destroying wildlife habitat for
native species. Left unchecked these non-indigenous, "invasive"
hogs dessimate our already-fragile, stressed eco-systems, and
local wildlife suffer. Guess we should not try to contain, for
example, the non-indigenouse snake fish from invading our native
waters too.
2) Again, the whole thrill of hunting, I don't get. However,
which would prefer? The life an animal living in the wild,
having a reasonable existence, that is felled quickly and then
processed and eaten, OR the life of an animal (cattle, chicken,
domestic hog) that is "factory farmed" in the most appalling
conditions to then be killed in terrifying, loud slaughter
houses, and end up in those nice little packages at the grocery
store?
3) These guys did process the hog for FOOD. For millenia, man
has hunted for meat. (Vegetarianism is very recent in the grand
scheme of time.)
4) To the ranter about the Ten Commandments and "Thou Shalt not
Kill"--try taking a look at all the biblical text in those early
books of the Old Testement. God commands that man sacrifice
animals to him. If you are going to quote the Bible, at least
manage to not take one verse/line out of context and ignore the
pervasive animal sacrifice throughout the Bible.
wonderful, jamison.
few know the dangers presented by an
omnivore alpha boar weighing half a ton, especially this reaction,
when assaulted or wounded.
now jamison, i have stalked and killed
a bull cape buffalo in the nowhere's 'bush' of zimbabwe; and have
hunted and killed wild hog (from the safety of a horse's back) here
in louisiana; i know first-hand how savagely maniacal and
life-threatening they can be in their vicious attacks. a few people
and numbers of horses and large dogs have been disemboweled, and
worse. I will take my chances, if i must be on foot, with the cape
buffalo. i'm glad you took the shot. no one but you really, knows
the moment of that choice.best wishes on your journey through life
as an ethical predator of game animals. bob lee

Way to go kid! I wish I had a dad around when I was your age to teach me that kind of stuff. You’re very lucky. If your folks have been there to help you learn all this stuff then I’m sure you know to ignore those other idiots that are cussing at such a young man from behind there computer. We aren’t all a bunch of drugged out hippies out here on the west coast. Good Luck Paul Lopez Orange Co. Ca

I would have a lot of respect for a
grown man who chased down and killed a half-ton animal with a
pistol. I would have a lot of respect for an 11-year-old kid who saw
a monster like this and didn't run in the opposite. You are the
toughest kid I have ever heard of, and I'm just glad I'm not a pig.

Hey congrats on the hog.
Don't judge all californians from a few
emails from nut jobs. I live in san diego and am normal not like
those in San Fran.
Thanks
Jamison,
I normally don't reply to things such as this I might find on the
internet, but I saw all the negative responses, and I felt I needed
to write. I saw your story in an internet forum I frequent at
DeerTexas.com . I want to say congratulations on your successful
hunt. Don't pay any attention to the negative responses. There is
something evil about anyone who would wish harm to any other human
for doing something as natural as hunting for food. As you can see
from my picture, I too hunt pigs. I took my pictured pig at nearly
midnight with no moon. (Legal in Texas on private property.) I used
an Armalite AR10-A4 .308 with a Leupold 4.5x14 lit reticle scope.
Don't believe anyone who says no one hunts with military style
guns. He weighed more than 300 pounds because he pegged our 300
pound scale. He's my biggest, but nowhere near yours in size. I
think it is great that you get to hunt with your dad. I believe if
more people would take their kids hunting, we'd have less problems
in this country. My wife and I don't have any kids of our own, so I
recently began volunteering on the Texas State Rifle Association's
youth hunting committee. We take young people on fully sponsored
hunts along with one parent or legal guardian. This is how strongly
I believe everyone should get the chance to hunt at an early age.
Remember, what you did was a good thing you will remember the rest
of your life. Ignore the negative comments. Congratulations! Pat
Jolly
Hi Jamison, I’ve just read about your incredible hunt. This prompted me to check out the website your proud father set up for you. Quite an amazing specimen of feral hog!
I’m sure that it took a bit of salt to stand there and face such an animal with a handgun! All that I can say is ‘well done!” I hunt myself…I’ve done so all of my life. I can only imagine how you felt when you finally walked up to this hog when it was down and realized what a monster you’ve brought down!
Sadly I also read the negative and hateful comments you’ve received from folks. Don’t let it get to you young man; unfortunately the world is changing, and not so much for the better. There are fewer and fewer of us (hunters) each year, which means more and more folks with misplaced affection that understand neither their place in the world of animals nor the heritage of hunting that is in our blood. As for the folks calling you foul names and blaspheming about the Bible and such, let us be thankful that we know the Lord and know better than to do so, and I reckon the best thing we can do for those folks that are so full of hate is to pray for them and love them as ourselves. Doggone it, it is hard sometimes. Keep hunting. Wish you the best. G.A. Peel

Don't worry about all the negative publicity, they are just jealous and want to take your thunder from ya. Keep you head up and enjoy all the attention while you can, because it will be gone just as quick as it came.

Congrats, Man. Please don't pay attention to the people sending negative comments. They are either trying to draw attention to themselves or they are more heartless than they claim you are. Anyone that could threaten another (in the manner that they did to you) has serious problems. Some individuals dislike hunting, which is an opinion they are entitled to, but there is absolutely never any reason why someone should threaten another human being, let alone a young man such as yourself. I know nothing they said put fear in your heart, I only hope they failed in stealing your joy, as well.
And as far as the comments claiming you're going to hell because you shot an animal... I would think it fitting to remind those individuals that at some point in their lives they've probably "killed" insects and are going to Hell under their line of reasoning as well. I would add that "thou shalt not kill" refers to people and not animals (which were put under the control of man by God). You killed and animal, you are respecting it for what it was, and you made a meal from it (a great deal many as I understand), and you did it as humane-ly as possible. You should also remind those individuals quoting the Bible that they should actually read it first. The Bible has to be read in context (which I'm sure you already know) hopefully some of these other people will learn that as well.

Texas Granny can only say WOW! I'm speechless! You did a terrific
job!
What
scares me is where is this monster pig's family?? I come from a
family who hunts;so I can say I am proud of you! Congratulations!!
Jamison
Congrats to and your dad. We need more kids hunting like you. Great
job following up and showing the respect to the animal. WAY TO
GO!!!!
humanely kill it with a .50 cal Smith & Wesson 500 (nice gun) is something you, your family and every rational sane thinking American should take pride in; that took a lot of guts.
May God continue to bless the United States of America and the brave men
and women who are serving in the United States military.

I can not believe the crazy comments
from those animal rights nuts! The anger and rudeness in their words
and tone (especially to an 11-year old boy) contradict what they are
trying to say. They are hypocrites. I am not a hunter, but this is
obviously your way of life and probably tradition for generations in
your family. Most hunters seem respectful and don't waste the meat.
These people must not realize that their ancestors were probably
hunters and that the great majority of people in America and on
Earth eat meat. Those are truly some amazing photos!
Whoa Jamison! That is, without a doubt,
one of the finest trophies I've ever seen. Believe me, I've seen
quite a few. My, hat's off to you, and your dad. Your dad must
be a great guy. For, raising, and training hunter skills, to a fine
young lad like you. Best of luck in the future,
Rick Laur
P.S. Your mom must be pretty neat, as
well. Yo Mom !!
I seriously can not belive the nerve of some of the people who
wrote those comments. HE IS 11!!!!! Everone who wrote one of
those comments would change thier mind real quick if they
saw that monster in their backyard. And as for you Jamison. WOW!
I would have pissed my pants when i saw that. What a kill.
My Stepdad also wanted me to congratulate you and tell you just
ignore all those idiots who said bad things. And say Kudos to
you! He wishes he could meet you and shake your hand.(old boy of
Missouri)
Jamison,
I just wanted to congratulate you on your sucessful hunt. That is
amazing. I read some of the negative comments you received and
think that most of them are men who are ashamed of the fact that
they wouldn't have been able to man up and do what you did. That
hog is the stuff that nightmares are made of and most of them would
have wet themselves, where you showed bigger testicles than any of
them :-). Keep doing your thing!
Wow kid! what a porker..thought our pigs
out here in Cali were big..hey Jamison, something fun to tweek the
bunnylovin' anti's with.. go to
www.slowburning.com order the PETA teeshirt, on the front it
reads, "PETA people for the eating of tasty animals" and on the back
it reads, "There's room for all of God's creatures. Right next to my
mashed potatoes." Wear it with pride. You'll love the reaction of
many, I wear mine when me and the wife have lots of shopping to do
all over town. And here's some advice that you'll remember for the
rest of your life..(hopefully this has been explained to you
already) this is some great logical ammo for those with nothing but
emotional rhetoric. Some biological wildlife facts here... All
animals that are herbavores, that eat vegatables, graze on grass,
etc.. have eyes on the SIDES of their heads. Thats so they can be
alert of predators while feeding. All animals that are carnivores,
that eat meat, have eyes on the FRONT of their heads. thats so they
can stalk their prey. cougars, bears, eagles,owls, etc.. Now until
OUR eyes start to evolve to the sides our heads,,, we will always be
meant to eat meat! That's how God created the animals and us.
period. end of story. share this with all. Happy hunting kid. Russ
in California.
Jamison,
Good work, young man! I envy you
your experience of first finding, then facing, and then persuing
something at least 5 times your size, armed only with a handgun
(albeit the BIGGEST handgun I'd ever wish to fire). It must have
been exciting, running through the woods with your family and
friends, gasping, imagining, laughing, and shivering at the thought
of the imminent face-down you were heading towards!
That is a hunt I will envy for a
long time. I wish you more such luck. God Bless you! Mike
Congratulations! Talk about excitement!!! “big foot w/ a blow gun” too funny!! Sorry for the negative responses you’ve received. There are some nasty folks out there who don’t have any decency about them. They are ignorant that hunters do a great thing for conservation and wouldn’t understand the benefits of hunting, such as teaching responsibility and the value of human life. You can’t have hunted an animal without seeing the sanctity of human life and how precious it is. Meanwhile, enjoy your sausage and I’ll be looking for you in Hogzilla the movie.~Susan

i'm fraid i don no why dem persons are bad mouthin you bout pig huntin. i thinks some of dem are showinthere ignorence. maybe if they come down to the south and eat som pickled pig feet it would me dem a nicer person.Or perhap if they had got dem a educashun like me they would no som words which have more than 4 lettars.
Seriously, Jamison I've hunted all sorts of wild game for the past 30 years, I want to congratulate on your perseverance in tracking, dispatching, and recovering this animal. This animal was as large as a brown bear, and obviously was able to absorb a lot of lead before it succumbed. This took a lot of courage for a young man such as yourself to finish the job. I know your father is very proud of you...good hunting!

You gotta be the bravest kid ever. Looks like it would take a lot of shots to drop this guy so you must have stayed really cool.
Congratulations,
Can't believe something sooo Huge and gnarly is wandering around the woods of Alabama.
AWESOME JOB JAMISON!!!!!!!! You’re a brave kid for going after a hog that size. Keep strong, keep huntin and don’t worry about the negative comments from the treehuggers out there…
All of those extremely negative comments, by those who site the bible and use extreme amounts of profanity towards an eleven-year old, with atrocious grammar and spelling-
those people are what's wrong with America. Not only the U.S., but the whole North American continent. Who do they think they are? Where are their brains? I am a free speech activist, but just because you have the right to say something doesn't mean you should shoot your mouth off at a kid as you sit far, far away from him behind a computer screen with bland and unoriginal opinions. I am an Atheist, but that doesn't mean I'm even close to being as immoral as you and your commrades... You people sicken me.
To those of you who are crying for the sake of the suffering of the animal-
that's stupid. That pig would have been killed, or died on it's own eventually, pigs don't have emotions, only a few animals actually do. Americans consume pig products by the millions of lbs. every year. We produce cows to the extent that they greatly deteriorate the atmosphere, strain the environment, and we just kill them when they are too old. Millions of lbs. of dead cow meat rot away every year because of the waste. Cry about that while you eat your vegetables, which would probably have just as much of a soul as that gargantuan pig. After all, they run on instinct just like pigs, they move towards the sunlight, create their own food through photosynthesis and grow- just because they don't have brains doesn't mean you shouldn't feel bad about mass-cultivation..
But anyway, Jamison, I'm glad you got lucky that day and had the experience of your life. When you get older in this world, smiles and happiness grow fewer and further between. I hope that you savored every last moment of the excitement you drew from the experience. Save some giant ham for me, huh?
Don't
pay attention to those west coast sissys, they live out there
because homosexuality is fround upon in the USA
Your
dad is teaching you how to survive in a world that's scareing most
parents. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day
Teach a
man to fish, and he has to take care of all the hippie wanna be
seudo animal lovers who don't know squat about
the
animals they eat, because they are to concerned with pushing same
sex marriage and other forms of blasphemey.
Pay no
mind to those who think freedom of speech gives them the right to
offend everyone.
your hunt is just awesome. God has blessed you wonderfully! Don't let anyone steal your thunder.

Jamison, Awesome kill man. Kind of the Jamison and Goliath of all pig hunts I guess. You need the state fair’s biggest apple now. Question is, what did you do following the recoil of that 1st shot? Did you sight back through your optic or did you break and run for the guide rig? Congratulations. Send the PETA folks a big BLT for me. Be a patriot. Know your Bible, and pack your pistol.
First things first, why are you cursing on a public web page towards an 11 year old. I am sure you are probably a grown adult, and your manners at this point in your life shouldn't need any critique. That said, your explicit language is completely inexcusable and uncalled for. If you respond to this (which I am sure you won't as no one likes to hear about their own flaws) don't give me any garbage about freedom of speech and how you can say what you want to say, because frankly that is pure garbage. People like Jamison Stone don't need to hear your bullshit about how killing a hog is like killing a human.
hunting (Proverbs 12:27). And the Bible tells us its okay to eat meat as long as we thank Him for it before we eat (I Timothy 4:3-5). Jesus is the only means of salvation. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord (Jesus) shall be saved. Congratulations on what may be the hunt of your life. Don Alexander
Hey buddy,
Congrats on the awesome kill you should be proud
to bag such a trophy boar I am not ashamed to say I am envious of
you,so from here on out you shall be officially called "THE MAN" and
let no one tell you other wise and for all of the PETA goons let me
say this in Alabama if you threaten a child you best be looking over
your shoulders because as "THE MAN" has demostrated we don't stop
until what we are after is down and hanging on our walls or sitting
by our fireplace and for your information I too am a member of PETA
(PEOPLE
EATING
TASTY
ANIMALS) AND
ONCE AGAIN GREAT JOB JAMISON!!!!! Your fan, Joseph

Kudos to you on your trophy kill. Sorry to say, but there will always be someone who tries to steal your thunder when something positive happens. Stay strong in your beliefs. I am the mother of 4 sons and the grandmother of 14. Our most memorable days as a family have been hunting and fishing. Ignore the bleeding hearts, you are following God’s plan. At least we FANATIC hunters don’t wish death and torture to a precious 11 yr. old child of God. Happy Hunting, Jamison!!!! Aletha Jackson
I just wanted you to know you did a fabulous
job in bringing the BIG PIG down. Your critics have no earthly
idea the feelings and emotions involved in making shots like you
did AND with a pistol. Pistols are not the easiest of weapons to
use. If your critics have so much mouth and nerve to attack you,
how come they aren't protecting the killings in Iraq? You would
think human life is more precious than a pig. Then again, maybe
not. Just remember you are in the same group with Daniel Boone,
Davy Crocket, Sergeant York, and Audie Murphy, all hunters and
marksmen, which isn't a bad place to be.. .Sincerely, C. Holder
Jamison, I would like to congratulate you on your harvest. You not
only harvested a trophy hog you have surely cut down on the massive
devastation that these feral hogs do to the other natural resources.
Pay no mind to the negative comments that you have received from the
animal rights folks, don't blame them for their ignorance and their
failure to understand logical thinking and rational decision making.
I nearly fell out of my chair reading the statements that they made.
These people have no earthly clue of the importance of hunting and
fishing, or to the benefits to the resource itself that the hunter
and fisherman provide. You are off to an excellent start in your
hunting career and I hope that the negative thoughts of irrational
folks does not impede you in the least. Once again congrats to your
trophy kill, and keep up the good work.

I am not sure if this is Neg or Positive But any way I did want to comment. I do think this was unbelievable and I am glad that know one was hurt by this animal I do agree that it would have been a excellent specimen for research. (even dead) And I do hate killing or cruel treatment of any animal and I do agree if you are a hunter then you should eat what you kill, and not just for trophy. But I also know that hunting is apart of Human History. So you must be proud. Just remember don’t ever laugh at death of Gods creation just be thankful and proud of life he gives.
To all those loser PETA folks...I hunt and kill deer, ducks, pigs, turkey, quail...anything that is legal to hunt, and eat them every year! Go sit on a post you losers! You are probably all failures at everything you have ever done in your life. It's ok. You have no argument whatsoever! Hunting has been a tradition around the globe for thousands of years. How do you think your ancestors survived? Tell you what, you threaten one of my family members the way you did this kid and I'll be sure we run into each other one day.

Excellent trophy boar, your shooting skills are to be commended, I am sure it took a lot of nerve to place those shots. From a fellow Alabamian, Ron Adkins, Kandahar, Afghanistan
