I do know that in Georgia, pigs can vary tremendously in their appearance, some having the classic razorback, big forequarters, long snouts, other looking just like a domestic pig and varying colors. The latter tend to be the bigger ones, in my experience.

I'm working soybean, peanut and corn patches. The damage is truly unbelievable. 3rd generation start growing the longer snout. Brucellosis, Tuberculosis, Pseudorabies are all in Oklahoma from the hogs.

Yep.

I gave up eating them, but not shooting them.
