Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Autopsy: Caretaker found dead was attacked, killed by wild hogs in Anahuac

Hah! I'll get right on babysitting no hunting yankees for free!

Do you happen to know how much that one weighed in at?

Looks about the same weight class as the one that menaced me.

The REALLY big ones resemble rhinoceroses in proportion, head looks small relative to the body, long flat back, I figure from domestic hog ancestry.

.

i'll guess about 180

LOL.... That's the hog everyone guessed the weight on awhile back.

I happen to know exactly what he weighed...

Hey dickweed...

Maybe this will help your condition.

You're the last type I would pay to hunt with or near.

Had to laugh when I read this. My BIL's BIL has a ranch in east Texas. He gets visited by hogs on a rotation and they do a lot of damage on the nights they come. He's got a day job and so do his boys so the only time they take the time to maintain their feeders is during deer season.

One day I walked the property with my BIL and did some calculating on what it would take for me to drive out there and get the place ready myself to kill some pigs and I soon came to the realization that - apart from the money involved in getting there and back home again, the cost of putting out feed and new batteries for the feeders and whatever else I'd need to do - I'd be there for weeks getting the pigs habituated to coming on to the property more often than they do - and it would hardly leave me with any time to shoot them.

Winner winner, chicken dinner!

Oh good, now I don’t feel like so much of a sissy (180 lb boar? Phhhhhhht!I ain’t skeered)

The photo I took of that boar that didn’t wanna give ground to me are being held for ransom on pbucket, I’ll see if I can retrieve em.

How would feral hogs do against timber wolves?

Wild boar and wolves coexisted for centuries in Europe and across Asia, both were known to kill and eat humans on occasion.

Pigs run in packs of related sows and they all run in to attack when a piglet squeals. Boars are solitary and territorial.

first of all I grew up in texas and I know some of you guys actually shoot hogs from time to time. Its kinda funny most guys (my texas friends) consider themselves hunters. so here is a conversation. "so you guys got hogs down there?" oh yes! we have lots of them. then I say "well when was the last time you shot one?" crickets, There is no answer. or its maybe oh I went with my cousin on so and so's property 4 years ago and saw one run in the trees my cousin missed it. If texas didn't have so much private land the hogs would all be dead. Where I live, the hunters would cure the hog problem in about 2 days if they ever started living in this area and the fish and game classed them as a non game animal.

We have a winner!

I see your ignorance has not solved itself since the last time I read a few of your posts.

We need tigers, but they are gonna have to be big fuggin’ tigers....




.....might be significant she chooses a boar, and not a pack of sows.

Leopard getting its mass kicked by group of angry sows....

I’m gonna guess most predation in their original Old World range falls on the boars. Perhaps younger ones.

I have worked in various parts of East Texas for too many years to remember.
Several years ago, a man near Pennington, Texas told me about an event that
occurred about 1905 on some land which he owned at the time of his story.
Several members of an extended family lived in the same large frame house.
Seems the self appointed "Bell Cow" of the family was a difficult person to
get along with and ended up making true enemies of all the brothers, cousins,
and others living in the house. Somehow a shotgun accidently fired and she
died the same night. Knowing the Sheriff would be coming out, she was
moved to the barn,quartered and fed to the hogs. High Sheriff did investigate;
there was nothing left of Aunt Jane; all family members had alibis and nobody
went to jail. Or so the story went.

Funny post!

Bruce is neither. He once took me out quail hunting all day, to his favorite spot, using his own gas, and walked the brush to push birds to me.

luv2safari is simply a fine guy, and you took his post the wrong way.
