I remember back in 1960 in Hoenfels, Germany, we had problems with them when we were on maneuvers and were sleeping on the ground. They didn’t hurt anyone but they sure caused a mess rooting around for anything edible.

The only animals they imperiled me with was a herd of goats. Me and another guy had guard duty, locked in an ammo dump with the goats. Couldn't see them in the dark but could hear them suddenly run about.

And, BTW, we are overrun with a mixture of domestic pigs gone wild and wild Boar in CA also, mainly on the coast. Over here in the foothills we are overrun with Turkeys. There is a generous bag limit on wild pigs but it is a long way for me to drive to kill one.

When my tank unit went to Grafenwohr we would have them running between cots in the tents on the firing ranges while we were sleeping. Turn on a flashlight and all cain would break loose as they rushed out!
