Seriously? 57 posts about a hog farmer while the media is stealing this election by withholding news from the American people? Get serious... please.

If my cat was a little bigger, he would kill me and eat me. I can see it in his eyes, but he disguises it with his purring.

They got jaws that can crunch a 2x4 like a toothpick.

Was loading one bound for the locker plant once and used an oval water tank with about 100 gallons of water in it as part of the chute. Hog stuck his nose under the edge of the tank and shoved it out of the way with all the load on the bridge of his snout.

Cows or hogs can hurt you quick.

I read an interview of my Dad’s cousin about his service in WWII. The cousin wondered why nobody wanted their c-rations with pork in them. Until he saw a corpse being devoured by a hog for the first time. He quit too.

My Grandpappy always told me: "Never, turn your back on a heard of roving chickens. They'll kill ya if they get their chance!"

You do your thing 24/7 if that's what floats your boat. What are you even doing on this thread?

Humor helps keep sanity in check. I either wouldn’t be here right now, or I would never again see the light of day if not for humor in my life.

When I was a kid, I saw a sow go after my dad. It scared me so badly that I don’t like pigs to this day. It wasn’t just the charge, but the horribly loud “roar” that accompanied that frightened me as well as seeing my big ol’ daddy leap the fence w/a single bound!
Today, here, I have had bear tracks on my bck step and cougar in the swamp and I fear them far less than the feral hogs that are now within 20 miles of here.
I’m too old to outrun or carry anything that would stop a charging hog and so have rather limited my solo outdoor roaming as of late.

Sounds more like the Canadian wolves imported by the F7G crowd have imported and distributed collared breeding paiars in Washington, Oregon, idaho, Montana are involved in this “disappearance”. Thesewolves are Hugely prolific in Canada, the F&G are trying to put this 200 pound wolf on the endangered species list! These wolves are twice the size of our timber wolves, and are seriously damaging ranchers and farmers in thee statess by killing sheep, cattle, horses and pets! Unless his dogs were starved and mistreated, I doubt verymuch if they are responsible for this tereible event.
