I figured this post would be ok in the HD forum, since that's my main concern. Cornered our local fish and game guy at the LGS here today, and asked about the pig population in the area. I've been trying to keep track of their expansion towards my property for a few years now.
He said they were spreading faster than anything he'd ever seen, and I'd probably see them on my property within the next 2 years. Mixed feelings about this. I'll likely have to start packing my Blackhawk or Mariner when outside, just to be safe, which I don't mind too much since it could be an opportunity to have a cookout; but I'd rather not have to deal with a pig invasion and all the damage they cause. I'm certainly not of a mind to try hunting them in my woods - gettin' too old and slow for that kind of thing.
Also, I have my wife to be concerned about when she's outside in the garden, etc. She wouldn't stand a snowballs chance against a charging pig.
