Default RE: A true story of complete idiocy and wild hogs.

I find that hilarious!

Had some similar fun not long ago. Just that mine wasn't intentional! (no offense )

A neighboring farmer had some hogs he had trapped in a little pen he had made with sheet metal roofing, but he lived in town and had to get rid of them. His grazed cattle on lease land next to my hunt club. He had three of those 50-75 pound meat hogs in this pen and was trying to give them to me. I paid him 30 bucks anyway, but I had to catch them. I wanted to turn them loose on my brothers hunting preserve 3 counties over. I went in the pen and stalked to the corner where they were are laid up together. When I got pretty close, I cornered one and wrestled it to the ground. Got my ass whooped and scraped up pretty good! But too stubborn to give up! Got him into the horse trailer and went back for another. Everyone was getting a kick out of the action. Managed to get the second one by tackling him as he tried to run by me when I moved in. He got a piece of my hand with a good head twist. But I was on a mission now. Got him in the trailer and was getting ready to go back for the 3rd. Then I saw something I will never forget. The last hog in the pen was Freakin Out! She knew she was destined for the same fate as her brothers. I had just crossed into the pen when she made a dash at me. I got ready and when she got about 5 feet away, she turned and jumped over a 4 1/2 foot fence! Then all hell broke loose! That little hog ran about 20 miles an hour straight into sometrees on the back side of his property. But it was a rich subdivision on the other side! The kind withoutfences! All we heard was squealing, screams, doors slamming, and eventually, gunfire. I got in my truck and got the hell-outa-there!
