The area where I saw the result of the wild hogs, is not very distant from Humblegunner’s area.

They've been trimmed back some, but in the fall they were all up and down
FM1485 tearing up property. Looked like a team of crack heads with roto-tillers
had gone wild. Ditches, yards, even tore up a few fences. They operate mostly west of the river.

They are coming out of the Lake Houston Wilderness Preserve which is on the other side of the river from my 'hood.

When the river is low enough, it is possible to cross
over on a 4-wheeler. Just as an academic exercise, you see.
(Just upstream of the sandbar where it gets narrow)

One might even be able to locate some pigs over there.
Those river bottom pigs are some good eating. Now, folks
aren't supposed to hunt over there because it's government
land and all, but if one were to channel Robin Hood and think
of those pigs as the "King's pigs".. why, it's almost a duty to harvest a few.

Besides, the "King" is a Muslim and has no use for pigs anyway.

“They've been trimmed back some, but in the fall they were all up and down FM1485 tearing up property.”

It was in the fall I saw the destruction on the man's property. Behind his house, still his yard, one could walk a bit and there was the river below his property so I think you are on the other side of that river from where I was.

When I got home, I actually looked up your address on a map to see where you were compared to where I had gone.

I had not been to that area so it was new to me. From 59, I went east on 1485 about 10 miles and turned right on Kingwood Dr. and went 2+ more miles to that house in a gated subdivision. I went to that house to see an atrium attached to the house, that is two stories tall with all kinds of exotic plants. I saw the machinery it takes to keep the atmosphere in that atrium where it needs to be to support all those plants and trees in there. That is an expensive operation.

The man who owns that house does not have a handgun or rifle (a Texan without a firearm). If I had those wild pigs around my house, you bet I would get rid of them and ship them to JRandomFreeper, the chef Freeper and give you some to barbecue.
