Wild ones with tusks? They can be mean... last time I was in Tuscon, the locals warned me about the ones down there. They said to watch out, especially at night. You didn't want to surprise or corner them.

Mr Ed tried to **** one in the scrub. It was funny to watch and the
hog wasn't sure how to deal with it. In the end they ran away.

Mr. Ed's lucky he didn't get a nose bit off.

I was worried myself but they run hogs with dogs down here and they
were so interested in getting the hell out of there his love making
was cut short. He drove them out of the woods and when they saw us
they stopped. That was when Ed picked the pretty one and went full on
"squeal like a pig for me". It was only about 10 seconds but it was
certainly a thing to see.

I'll bet it was funny as hell. There are some youtube vids of dogs fighting groundhogs. Dogs won in
the ones I saw, but it wouldn't take much for a dog to get badly bitten.

Don't get confused, this was a 150-200 pound porker. They do still
bite tho.

If they have the chance they'll do more than merely bite. They'll maul you...

Our pet porker was about 150lbs when he got turned into bacon. My dad and I were the only ones that
would eat it, for a while. Eventually, hunger persuaded the other boys and my mom to give him a
shot.

I guess so that is if squirrel is classsd as a ?race?

Only the furry animals with the black eye shadow and a ringed tail.


I have an ex-friend who told me he goes out to a field in southern
Maryland to shoot groundhogs and other small critters. Not critters
that are pestering any not really on a higher evolutionary scale than
"hooomans," but just living their little animal lives. Disgusting.

He was *your* friend. He was 'disgusting' only after he told you he went varmint hunting?

I am not sure I understand all varmint hunting but if they are really
there to limit the population of rodents because they have killed all
of the natural predators, it makes some sense.
Arizona's Senoran desert is an excellent example. They were diligent
in killing all of the rattlesnakes and now the rodents are destroying
the iconic century old Saguaro cactus. If guys want to sit in the
desert with their 5.5 Creedmores and pick off rats, good on them.

Groundhogs and nutria have become a nuisance ever since we did in the predators. Hunting them is
quite legal:

http://www.eregulations.com/maryland...ng/furbearers/

Nutria And Woodchuck
The nutria and woodchuck (groundhog) are classified as ?unprotected mammals.? As such:

A hunting license is not required to hunt woodchucks and nutria except in Baltimore County.
Woodchucks and nutria may be hunted throughout the year, including Sundays.
Hunters must wear fluorescent orange while hunting woodchucks.
All hunting devices legal for other game animals may be used to hunt woodchucks and nutria.

If that is actually what they are shooting, I agree it is helpful.
Harry is assuming they shoot everything that moves.
To be honest I never saw a wood chuck in Maryland and I didn't even
know you had nutria up there.
Of course deer were few and far between there over 40 years ago too.
(the last time I hunted)
Five years later I saw 2 on the Whitehurst freeway and 20 years later
they were thick at my ex wife's house in Clinton so it is clear things
are changing.

We camp down at Solomon's Island frequently, and the hogs have overrun the place. If I go for a walk
around the whole campground, I'll surely see three or four every time. This doesn't count all the
ones I don't see!

Wait that can't be true. Harry told me there are no hogs down there.



I find it hard to believe there are actual hogs running around on that
mostly cleared and built up recreation area, unless a couple of
Vietnamese potbellied pigs got loose.

Wait...Herring claims he "camps" down there? "Camps" in his motel room
on wheels? He RV's down there...he ain't camping.

Actually, Harry, we were talking about groundhogs, often referred to simply as 'hogs' once in a
discussion. Perhaps reading for content would help.

Right. I should have said 'glamping'. Did the tent bit with motorcycles. Now we're into glamorous
camping.

Your camping counts as, well... camping.

"Camping is an outdoor recreational activity. The participants leave urban areas, their home region, or civilization and enjoy nature while spending one or several nights outdoors, usually at a campsite. Camping may involve the use of a tent, caravan, motorhome, cabin, a primitive structure, or no shelter at all."



Does a cinderblock cellarhole with a cot, out by the Shenandoah,
count as camping?

Our idea of camping is a hotel suite that doesn't have a king sized
bed and a separate seating area. She does want a creek out back tho.
That is why we switched to renting houses.


Ditto. We'll soon "camping out" at a nice oceanside hotel in south
Florida. We'll have the Atlantic Ocean out back, along with a couple of
pools. Five or six restaurants in the hotel, plus seafood, Cuban, and
Greek restaurants a short drive away.


I camp in nice hotels, B&B and rental houses, plus my nice truck camp r at
remote lakes and rivers.



Harry has discovered the Disney wilderness in Vero Beach. Lots of
teen girls to oogle there.

Gosh, I missed them. We were at that resort years ago. Very nice
facility, but there's really nothing else in Vero Beach. There was a
first class Cuban restaurant there, but I was told it closed. There are
a couple of others, but they were not as good.

For babe watching in south Florida, it's hard to beat South Beach.

Drive a bit north to the Haulover area, and you might encounter:

Of course the sight of a nice looking naked woman would give you a
coronary.

Nope. That concrete block building, by the way, has evolved into its
intended purpose...a storage building. There's a nice three bedroom,
2-1/2 bath house on the property now. Staying there is not camping,
either. Views of both mountain ranges *and* the Shenandoah River.
