That's some bacon........
We have one in our area now too.
A great friend hosts a hog roast yearly and last Saturday was the day. He buys, dispatches and roasts the same day.
He went to pick up the hog, which was put into a cage and into the back of his pickup.
When he got home, the cage was open and the hog gone! THAT started a hunt which didn't produce the hog. Went back and picked up another, which actually made it on the spit. In the mean time, people are reporting a hog in a few gardens..... True story!

Have you encountered aggressive hogs in your lease travels Semisane? Knowing that something like that was around would put me on edge a little. When younger, I used to move and haul pigs, including large boars and sows. These domestic hogs could be darn right nasty. So think of what that bad boy could do to you.
If you learn more particulars on the pig, weight, gun, distance, etc.. it would be interesting.

We haven't had any aggressive ones on our lease Cayugad. Though the ones we've caught in a trap do seem rather 'ticked off'edited by JW reason language HNI Rule 1 right up until the time you pop them in the head with a .22 Mag. 
Last year a squirrel hunter in the Pearl River Wildlife Management Area had spotted a squirrel in the distance. He was sneaking toward it through knee/waist high grass and brush when a bedded hog popped up about eight feet in front of him.
This was the result.
