Or come to FL and hunt them with a spear!

A victorious Jim with a vanquished swine (that's Jim with the spear). This boar was about the same age as John's, but was more wild and hadn't been taking advantage of the feeders in the area.

I finally caught up with them and snapped a couple of photos of the victorious hunter with the 80-pound boar and spear. Goldie was fine, and the cut received was a minor one, soon cared for. I put the spear away after that, since Jim had had a bit of trouble with its length in the tangle of briars and vines. He was pretty upset about his pup Sassy not joining in the fight when she got there (she had sat down on her haunches and simply watched the fight), but as it turned out it was a learning experience for her, and she improved as the day went on.
