Does the term "wild hog" connote race to you? What race, and why? Wild hogs are usually black? Having never seen one, I wouldn't know. Maybe I could send you a few. Then the question would be, if they were tearing up your yard and chasing you around, would you want someone to come kill them or would you just say you were encroaching on habitat and let them thrive We used to see them often beside the long, woods lined road that led to the house in Florida. We were warned that they were filthy and disease ridden and being attacked and gored by one was a very serious issue. Never saw them in our yard though. Just had alligators, rattlesnakes, coral snakes, and armadillos. Oh, and horses. Are your horses close to natural death age...because you might not be moving south until they've sprouted their horsie wings. ![]() Unfortunately they are only about halfway to maybe three-quarters through their typical lifespan. Mrs.E got them when they were about 2-3 years old and that was 13 years ago. They'll probably out-live me. |

We do get a lot of snakes people think are coral snakes tho. We mostly have rat snakes in various colors, scarlet kings, ring necks and a bunch of black snakes. They are welcome here. I don't even mind the armadillos but my neighbors hate them. I don't think anyone is mad at the possums and raccoons. The onl;y good thing I have heard about the wild hogs is, if you have room, you can trap them, put them on a better diet and slaughter them a year or two later, ... or you can sell them to the French who think the gamey taste is "exotic" I don't like crows, they are too noisy. |
