I have seen one really big one in Georgia ,,,,I thought it was a cow at first,in Florida and Georgia 400+ lbs is not uncommon

We have lots of wild ones around here. Luckily I haven't had any problems on my property as its fenced and I have two dogs. On the other hand, I could use four hundred lbs of pork in the freezer. You can bet your a-- that if I saw one in the yard it would be dinner in a heartbeat.

 

[jimLE]

yup.thats enough bacon and chops to last a while..

At first I thought he was concocting that 'he charged at me' story to cover shooting without a license. At the end of the story it said its legal to shoot wild hogs there. I don't know about the laws here, however, if one comes in my yard it's going straight to the freezer.

we have wild boar in North Devon but they hide away and aren't seen that often.

I have heard they are intelligent and fierce when threatened. Around here it's considered manly to kill a deer. Hmmm, let's see, a passive animal with no real definces, and a man with a high powered rifle and scope. You can probably throw in a pile of corn there too. Somehow that just dosent seem to sporting to me. Now, take a full grown boar with a knife, that's what I call manly, Rambo!

Don't take this wrong here, I'm all for hunting. Just pointing out the difference in the danger level hunting something like a boar or bear vs deer and turkey.

deer are not the mild mannered timid creature that they are made out to be in fact there are more people attacked by deer than any other forest animal,,,,,take a gander at this

That was the best video I've seen in ages! I haven't laughed that hard in ages! Ok, I take back what I said about defenseless deer. I've heard about deer attacking, but figured it was a little over exaggerated. That buck was kickin his ass! Loved it! Thanks for posting that!

A buck that is all hormoned up is about as dangerous as a teenage guy out with somebody's daughter.... wait... nevermind.....

Two things on his mind - sex and if there is no sex, fighting....

I had two things on my mind as a teenager. Sex and sex. Never really wanted to fight much. I figured the world was a big enough place for me to stay away from ********. Now about those daughters..... I was a preachers kid after all.
