RE: Bacon in Washington?
My oldest daughter and I found a small group of wild pigs several years ago while scouting for deer. That was before the game department got involved and said it was open season. I ended up going back with a buddy several times to try to capture some alive. The first one we got was a boar about 80 pounds. we roped it and passed the rope through a crate and drug it in. That was one heck of a battle, that thing had some real tusks on it. After that we went for the smaller ones and managed to get a sow about 40 pounds and a couple piglets about 10 pounds. We put them in an old dog kennel by my house. The boar escaped and was seen about a mile from my house a couple weeks later. I ended up giving the rest away. Once the game department put it in the paper it was open season on hogs it was over pretty fast and I hav'nt heard of a pig sighting in several years. It was sure fun trying to rope em though. If I would have had a vidio camera it would have been a landslide victory on AFV.
