Well, not quite.

One of the things we really like about cruising is going out exploring
in the dinghy. This afternoon we found a nice beach on an island
north of Green Turtle Cay that appeared to be deserted. Less than two
minutes after landing however, a couple of local inhabitants came out
to greet us. After polite apologies were offered, we were allowed to
leave quickly and quietly:

I'd estimate about 30 inches high at the shoulder so definitely not
babies. No tusks fortunately but that could be a function of gender,
not sure though.

Any wild boar experts out there?

Were they being aggressive? I've heard that they can be, especially
the males. I know of one hunter that was chased up a tree by a wild
boar *with* tusks!

No overt agression, seemed like mostly curiousity and perhaps hope for
a handout. We have wild boars with tusks on a barrier island in south
Florida. They are very dangerous looking and I would not stay around
them long enough to take a picture.

I saw a program called "Pig Bomb" last evening on the telly. It seems that
introduced domesticated pigs became feral, and then have interbred with
introduced Eurasian strains producing hogs up to 1200#.

My BIL lives in Montgomery Texas, and pig control/eradication is about all
them tough Texas boys can handle, and they've been through the mill with
breaking wild horses and Brahma bulls.

It's spread from 19 to 40 states, and coming to a doorstep near you.
Attacks within households and on personal property are common place.

I would expect it will get much worse before better.

Not an expert, but the tusks are actually the continuous growing canine
teeth, so both males and females will have them. However, on males, they
tend to be longer so as to be more visible.

Not that I'd be able to tell the difference, but those may not be wild
boar at all. They could be feral pigs.

The pigs aren't the problem, the Texans are. Most are fat, road hunters who
don't go more than 50 feet from a vehicle or a blind. Then they want $300
bucks per pig for out of staters to come and help solve the problem. It will

Since you have never seen me, or even a full photo of me, you have no idea
of my "dimensions," as it were. But we have seen photos of you: you are a
short little **** with a greasy ponytail handle on the back of your head
and therefore we know your "tough guy" talk is nothing more than your
compensating for being a pile of **** of insignificant stature.

In other words, you talk tough but there isn't enough of you to back up
your loud mouth.

Oh...as to "visiting" your neighborhood, well, from what I have seen of it
from your photos and from what you have written about yourself and your
neighbors, I'm going to pass. I wouldn't want my car stolen in broad
daylight, and I'm sure there isn't room in your kitchen to park it, what
with the baby motorcycle in there. Right?

JustHate talkin' tough again?
What a laugh...how could any of the long term regulars forget when he
thought Basskisser was coming up for one of his psycho visits.
Quick as a wink our Justhate went from a tough guy to a wimpering quivering
mess. He had everyone from the mayor to his paperboy rounded up to repel
Looney. It was truly pathetic.........

One of the things we really like about cruising is going out exploring
in the dinghy. This afternoon we found a nice beach on an island
north of Green Turtle Cay that appeared to be deserted. Less than two
minutes after landing however, a couple of local inhabitants came out
to greet us. After polite apologies were offered, we were allowed to
leave quickly and quietly:

They look like babies... were the adults around?

I'd estimate about 30 inches high at the shoulder so definitely not
babies. No tusks fortunately but that could be a function of gender,
not sure though.

Any wild boar experts out there?

Not an expert, but I grew up in the Arizona mountains where peccary javelina
hogs would top out at around 40 lbs and could be mean as hell.

Just my humble opinion of course.
Yeah, but both of those boors are just...loud-mouthed pussies.

Deflecting? Let's get down to brass tacks here, ****-for-brains. Why
would I want to take a detour from a pleasure trip to encounter trailer
trash like you? If I want to see stupid, I just have to turn on the news
and watch for a clip of the Rubble, er, Palin family.

To at least try and give yourself a hint of credibility?

Cool - ok, maybe not so cool, but interesting.

I read something in NatGeo a year or so back and watched a documentary
about feral piggies - it was actually about "Hogzilla" I think, but
there was a long detailed explanation about feral pigs in the
documentary.

Apparently, pigs revert when they go feral - their hair gets long,
tusks grow, they get much more aggressive, they get longer and leaner
and as they are already smart, can become very dangerous. It was
pretty interesting to watch.

About fifteen years or so ago, we had a small group of feral pigs in
and around the Yale Forest which were raising all kinds of hell not
only there, but in the Mashapoug State Forest which is right next to
the Yale. It took about two years to capture them all.

Not sure what they did with them.

Apparently, Connecticut still has a feral pig population. Litchfield

After further thought and reading, I can see there was quite a controversy
over the Hogzilla incident, one being the weighing apparatus used and the
question of accurate weight, and the second that the shooter of the pig was
a ten year old person on a game reserve. All things taken into account,
whether the pig was 1,000# or, 1,041#, whether or not this was a staged
incident of a ten year old getting thrust into his 15 minutes of fame,
alleged photo manipulations, and other things the grand jury thought about
deliberating, but then denied doing because of "time constraints", that's
one big f-ing pig that someone shot.

Not to mention that this is becoming commonplace throughout the US, as well
as hog attacks.

I'll take the National Enquirer approach on this one, and that is that they
may have not gotten it exactly right, but there is some basis for a story of
interest there.
