If you learn more particulars on the pig, weight, gun, distance, etc.. it would be interesting.
This made me think way back when my sister was 9 and I was six. We had sows out in the hog pasture and we would get a piece of twine string in their mouth and try riding them. She dared me to try riding the duroc boar and of course, having more guts than brains, I accepted the challenge. I think I stayed on for a few seconds and that fella came after me. I crawled over the woven wire fence but got snagged in the strand of barbed wire on top, sliced the heck out of my pants and my leg. We did end up getting the pony we wanted not too long after that. he he
Nice hog in that pic, I have never had wild pig. How does it compare to the farm raised hogs?
