When I was a pre- teen back in ND , my older brother brought home, then successfully returned a baby porkty to it’s mother. Strong mother/ baby bond, apparently.
. What that thing was doing in central ND out on the prairie I have no idea
We were a good mile west of treed river bottom lands, but they do like grass.
A few years ago I was up behind Tustemena Lake, far above timberline, I spotted a “bear - griz maybe”. Spotting scope showed the biggest dang porky I have ever seen!
Nowhere near bear size, but alpine perspectives can be deceiving.. same thing happened to a fishing buddy on the Little Chena out of Fairbanks, at low light dusk.
He called it Griz. When I finally saw it at far less called distance, I called it beaver.
I heard of someone who shot a griz at failing light here on the Kenai. Could not find it in the search that night. Found it next day - a porky at Well under the 150!yard called griz of the night before. Dead tho.
I think that does it for my porky stories.
