Wild pig or domestic?

[bwframe]

Sorry for the poor picture, best I could do. This guy ran through my yard today. When he seen me taking his picture, he ran like a crazy for a hundred yards into the woods.

Wild pigs are +/- 35 miles south of us. Not sure I've ever heard of them reported north of Bloomington?

I was told that it only takes a few weeks in the wild for even domestic pigs to start growing tusks?

What do we think?

Is it wearing a collar?


Lipstick?

Rosie O’Donald or Muchella O’bama?

No idea what We think, but I'd say that's feral and you should slay it, posthaste.

INGO wants to know how much bacon it contains.

 

[MindfulMan]

Someone has been braiding its' tail. It surely belongs to a 9 year old girl who has raised it from birth. It's name is Emma !

I think the first sentence is now wrong. You have proof of them North of Bloomington now.

I second the motion, that is not from the farm.

My suggestion is to hit it low in the shoulder with a 762 round.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Based solely on the shape of the head, I'm leaning toward wild.

I dont think I have ever seen a domesticated pig like that. Not an expert, but I did have bacon for breakfast. And just an educated guess from watching too many youtube hunting/trapping videos.

Wild.

As has been said above, you need to take care of it. Put out a corn feeder and get it. Might call the DNR in advance so that they don't think someone is baiting deer this close to hunting season.

Wild invasive hogs are a problem in every state in the nation, and are growing faster than hunters can take care of them.

Definitely wild

To be honest with you, my first thought on seeing this critter was not that I could take it. Up until now, there have been no other pig sightings in the area. There would have been talk, if so.

I assumed it was domestic, until it wildly ran off. If seen again, a window rifle just might come into play?

 

[bwframe]

Definitely wild

Are they in your back yard also, my friend?

We've seen 3 in the last 5 years . 1 was eating around the horse feeders 800 plus yards from a dwelling and the other 2 where deep in the woods.

Wow, I'm thinking you are not a lot farther south than me, near Lake Lemon?

Rosie O’Donald or Muchella O’bama?

Big Mike.

Wild hogs are one thing I wouldn't hesitate to dispatch.

 

[BIGE7.62]

The horse lot hog was on Hoover rd about 1/2 between 46 and gatesville the other 2 where in the Freetown / Story area S/S E of the horsemans camp

 

[fullmetaljesus]

To be honest im a bit conflicted. This could just mean I am with out a doubt an *******.

On one hand I say dispatch every wild hog you see with extreme prejudice.

On the other hand. Let's let the population obsoletely explode so we can have primo wild hog hunts in Indiana and we won't have to drive all the way to texas.

Hoover RD is in line with us. Freetown is farther south.

I keep hearing stories of wild pigs doing damage. Did you have any damage associated with your sightings?
