I saw a show on tv several nights ago about the destruction wild pigs
are causing in the southern states of the US. *It's amazing the amount
of destruction they can do in a single night. *It seems they are also
expanding their territory and heading further north every passing year.
In Florida they are getting so bold that they are coming right into town
in heavily populated residential areas. *Besides the destruction they
cause to vegetation, *they are very mean and dangerous animals as well.
Does anyone in this group have a problem with these nasty critters or a
story you would like to relate about them? *Not so sure I would like to
tangle with one from what I saw on the tv show. *They were hunting the
hogs with dogs and some of the dogs got tore up pretty good. *Although
it did look very exciting to hunt them this way. *I was also wondering
if the meat tastes like domestic pork. *When they harvested the hogs on
this show, *they had the meat processed and donated it to a homeless
shelter as not to waste it.

Lets hear your wild hog experiences!

I saw that show too, it was really scary. We had a domestic pig in our
yard
once, and it dug holes, rutted around, and made a mess generally. It
was about
5 or 6 feet long, a big porker. It left and went somewhere else. The
Animal Control
guy & I couldn't find it then. DH told me not to shoot it cuz he
couldn't get
it in the pickup to take to butcher!!! Lucky piggie, I was seeing
bacon forever!!
There was going to be a big BBQ!! Never did find out what happened to
that pig.
