Supposedly you can carry in the national parks now, which presumably
includes the Everglades wilderness areas. The south end of Cayo
Costa has a wild boar issue but I don't know what the rules are out
there. If nothing else you'd probably get the PETA people on your
case if you shot one in self defense.

The state has a pretty active trapping effort to get the wild hogs
knocked down. They are pretty thick everywhere around here. My wife
used to see them when she was jogging in the scrub park at the end of
our street. We have had them in the neighborhood. They are not
particularly aggressive. They are basically domestic hogs that got
loose.
We have just about everything living in that buffer though. There are
deer, black bear and occasionally a panther out there. The state
really owns the whole shore line of the Estero Bay,back a mile or so
with the exception of Weeks, a few places that have docks poking out
through the mangroves and the back side of the developed barrier
islands.
That is a lot of square miles to hide in.

If you've ever been in pig habitat, it is downright spooky. They can
eviscerate you, and they take substantial firepower to kill. Usually
several shots, as one only ****es them off. They are smart, and know their
territory like the back of their hoof. Becoming quite a problem, even in
neighborhoods like yours where not long ago if you brought up the subject,
you would lose friends and credibility.

The ones on Cayo Costa island near here have tusks that are at least 6
to 8 inches long and they have come to associate boaters on the beach
with food.

Don, if I were you I'd be hunkering down for the mother of all
hurricanes, coming soon to a place near you. No joke.

This could work to my advantage.
My next door neighbour just quoted me $6K to re-do my roof(s).
If the storm damages it...maybe my insurance company ...or the Federal Govt
might chip in, as they did after Juan smashed ashore here in 2003

"Food" as in "long pig" or just that the humans discard edible yuppie
delicacies?
