I do love me some pork!
They're not a problem here....YET. They're coming though. More and more sightings being reported recently. No season or limit here either, as long as you have some form of hunting license. I believe I saw a small group (3-4) several years ago...but a glimpse at 70mph down the highway, is not enough to say I'm 100% certain they were pigs.

:hmm: Mayhaps next winter, depending on how this years work season goes!

Not much is tastier than fresh spit roasted pork. I do remember having some at Camp Roberts once upon a time... a couple Javalinas washed down with some Budweiser on a hot summer evening to end up a great training op... good times.

You ain't kidding there Carlos! I remember my days at Fort Snelling doing re-enactment of 1827 military life for tourists. Our Fur Trader Days saw is dig a pit and roast a huge pig on it to serve to everyone. Tastiest pig I ever had! It was also the first time I had corn roasted over an open fire (or rather on top of the coals!) Very tasty too!

Thanks Joe and you're welcome! He had an interesting, colorful life. Feral pigs. Yeah, I was out there yesterday repairing some damage to my pasture. It looks like someone plowed it up; I've been working to get it smooth and level again. Oooooh those nasty pigs... :ggun:

Didn't realize I had bee "off line" for so long.
