We have a lot of wild boars here, infact boar hunting is a mainstay in hawaiian culture and guys have their small toyota 4x4 pickups (easier to get into places) with a dog cage usually with 5 dogs in the back, they take real pride in hunting boar.I only shoot something when I have the time and energy to clean it out and store it in my freezerotherwise it just does not make any sense, a waste of life..my Jack Russell has broken his leg with a wrangle in the desert with a Big Boar, and he also got a boar tusk through his leg oncehe finally now won't get too closebut we see them on our back roads here especially when we are riding...our Icelandics do not seem to mind...we watch the pigs as they go back into the jungle, looking for avocados, papaya and nuts and whatever else they can find.because of the papaya they are very tender, actually the best pork I have ever had is the wild pork here.

I forget what they called him. But there is a picture and it looked like the human standing beside him was tiny in comparison. They determined the photo was doctored. But the person who actually killed the boar was a member of a hunt club and they buried him there so national geographic actually dug up the body and took measurements of the skeleton and skull parts etc and determined that altho it wasnt as big as it looked in the photo it was still humungous, the largest one on record. Considering that a horse seeing even a small domestic piglet for the first time usually goes berzonkers, I can only imagine the train wreck if you came up on a hog like that in the woods. I also remember as a child walking into our barn and seeing my Dad sewing up his hunting dog with fishing line. he had been opened by a wild boar in his whole belly area with his intestines hanging out, one eyelid hanging by a thread and countless gashes all up and down his topline. He lived! a success story from the wilds of north florida :) his name was sport and he died of old age :) Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
[IceHorses] O/T Wild boar
There was a story on one of our local stations talking about a man in George shooting the worlds largest wild pig. I commented, "Men...why do they always have to shoot everything?" Kevin's response was, "Wanda if you saw that standing in your front yard, you'd shoot it yourself." I think he might be right. I know there was a scare here a few years ago, when a neighbour lost a few of the wild boars he was raising. The pig in Georgia is quite a bit bigger than any measly wild boar around here. http://www.gon.com/article.php?id=1017&cid=158 Wanda
