    Had a buddy send me a trail cam pic of this sow with cutters. The pic was taken at a local hunting club.
    Look at all them teets. They can have 14 or so and this sow looks to be limited out.
    What a breeder she must be. --- SAWMAN

    and she can do that twice a year...imagine what 10 of them could do. 10 sows and two boars could make a hundred hogs in a year I think.

    here is one of sow cutters

    AND . . . you gotta kill at least 70% of the hogs in the area just to maintain the origional number. Any less than that,and the total number of hogs increases.
    This is a fat old sow that we targeted,just because she was the lead sow. --- SAWMAN

    LOL, I almost feel sorry for pigs, but since I have fruit orchards and will be starting gardens I would like them gone. Hopefully my dogs will keep them on the other side of the fence. I know they are present in Pace, FL where I live. A few miles away from me I know someone that a few years ago out of his office on woodbine a little bit off of US 90 killed several over bait.
    The bears are also not wanted around here.

    What is impressive is that hog is very well fed since it is quite heavy. It really looks like a domestic pig with those proportions. Large hams on it.

    looks like more of a Piney Woods Rooter to me with that long snout...domestics are more Pug faced kinda

    my buddy N of Apalachicola area says he is covered up with bears

    I have two friends down here that are old (in their 80's) farmers. They tell me stories of the stock laws (or lack thereof ) back in the old days.
    The free range laws did not just take place out west between cattle ranchers. It took place in NW Fla with people that had cows/cattle, sheep/goats,horses,AND HOGS.
    These old farmers tell me that when the land owners went out to round up their critters,they almost never got back as many as they initially had. This,mainly,the sheep/goats and the hogs. The guys tell me that typically they would loose 10% of the hogs. But in a bonus year,the hogs would breed and come back home with more than were released in the spring time.
    This is why the biologists will tell you that hogs revert back to feral in a extremely short time. You send out pink,curly tail critters and in just a couple years you get back jet black,streight tail,wire hair,ridgeback,mean assed feral to semi feral,hogs. Piney Ridge Rooters and more OR less.
    The same can work the other way with trapped feral hogs. Pen 'em up,breed 'em enough,and pretty soon you will have pink,curly tailed pigs. Completely non agressive. --- SAWMAN
