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: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/23519672 |

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. |

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. http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/...tebook/pig.htm |

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.

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. |

Well, if you said boors, I'd think they resembled our own JustHate and his BFF LooneyTunes. Just my humble opinion of course. Humble=Dumb in Donnie's world. Got it. |

"Mac Donald" wrote in message ... 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 get much worse. Why don't you convey the message personally? Steve |

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. |

An all-around admirable companion for mankind. After watching that I almost became a vegetarian. Two things stopped me. Bacon and baby back ribs. --Vic |

The pig was cute as it could be, and "hung out" with the two dogs as a sort of friendly, neighborly pack. Once in a while, the pig would dig a hole under the fence and "escape" for a few minutes with the dogs. The pig was obviously a lot smarter than the dogs. Well, I guess that isn't saying much, is it? |

Litchfield County has been having some troubles with them recently. |

Haven't heard anything about it recently though. |
