[Original Lurker]

My grandmother (born in 1893) and her brothers never left home without a loaded gun whenever they ventured into the woods.

She’d tell me how vicious wild hogs can be.

When I was a child in the 40’s and we would go to visit my east Texas relatives I remember what they said when I asked where someone was.

“Where is auntie Sara?” Answer: “she went to the outhouse and the hogs ate her”.

That is not their exact words but you understand. The hogs were so bad that I was never allowed outside alone.
