DING, DING, DING. We have us a winner.
A few weeks ago I was going by a big pasture that belonged to a guy that always complains about the pigs. In that pasture as a group of pigs, maybe 10, laying in the shade under a tree. I went to the house and asked if he wanted me to take a few out and he said he had a paying party coming in a few days and didn't want them chased off. Kind of funny from a guy always crying about the pigs eating him our of house and home. I left the pigs where they were. Don't know if the paying clients got any but where they were laying I know I could have got 3 or 4 before they got into cover.
Like I said, the damage isn't quite as bad as many claim and they use the hogs as a cash income. Don't blame them for that but it still flies in the face of reason.
