What was it they used to say???? "The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer" as I recall.

Much thanks from me as well. Hopefully, I will soon have some dead hog pictures of my own to post. You have at least increased my confidence in the 22 SV.

no question there. Been Certified Dumb.
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee

Hogs actually evolved from deer. It's all very scientific.
After the last ice age, the deer found it hard to find food. The co-op stores and farmer's fields had been destroyed by the advancing (and then receding) sheets of ice. You have to remember that this was before 7-11s, so food wasn't as available as it is now.
Anyway, the evolution happened quite by accident. A tyrannosaurus rex bit the legs off a few deer when it was stalking a deer herd. The creatures didn't die because the soft, muddy ground dressed their wounds. What happened was they could no longer feed from the goober trees or forage for Weetabix. They had to dig around in the ground for food or die!
Over time, their musculature changed. Their neck muscles got very large from rooting around in the dirt. Their legs and trunks became thicker as well from being closer to prickly bushes and thistles. Their hides got tougher and the hair got darker for the most part. In effect, they became rooters and tuber foragers.
According to the Smitsonian, this evolution was complete about the time the Spanish made Plymouth Rock (that they subsequently left for the Brits to "find"). The conquistadors were practical jokers.
Anyhow, the Spanish headed off for California and Arizona to work in the service industry, leaving the Indians, John Smith and Jubilation T. Cornpone to hunt and eat pigs and deer - two species that came from a common ancestor.
I'm a full blooded Karaoke and do not need a license to hunt, but miss the days when I guided city dwellers for pigs.
The term "pig" is actually a short form for "Pigmy Deer", which makes sense because Americans sure like to use short forms for stuff. US of A, Pres. and Pat Pend. (I'm not sure of this last one. It might be a name.)
Anyway, now you know. You forgot to mention that pig tusk's evolved because with their short legs, they were not able to climb into an orthodontist's chair to get braces.
