 Topic: Wild things ...Posted: 12 Nov 2011 at 9:18am |

My kids are up for the weekend and Bret (Dad) and Daniel (son) took off about daylight deer/whatever hunting. A short while ago my daughter got a photo on her cell phone from Daniel out in the middle of the woods somewhere. If I can figure how to get it uploaded I'll post it shorthly. A illustration of what's roaming around back in the woods.

 Forgive my sidewise-ness but I was in a hurry and just picked it off facebook and pasted here. And the photo quality is not great - taken with a cell phone. Note the tusks . The guys just took a cursory glance at it's gender markings and thought it was a sow. Went back in the woods to re-examine and a most unusual discovery - It's a neutered boar. Now that is not at all common and brings up all kinds of speculation as to how that came about. Anyway, since it was neutered they cut out the tenderloins and brought home. My grandson managed to recover a tusk for a souvenir.

Hehe, a belly man through and through. I can't recall where or when I ran into it but it was an interesting show on the changes that occur when domestic pigs go feral. It was interesting because in just a few months they can physically change. They certainly can get aggressive very quickly. |

Looking at those tusks I would not like to chance a faceoff with that dude if he felt cornered. He and his type look like they could get irritated at the slightest irritation -especially one that was not gelded. After considering all, they left it for the coyotes. He was big but not particularly fat. We had a hard summer around here for wild animals (and for us humans I might add).

The best part was your grandson managing to recover a tusk for a souvenir. Cool!

Yep, a good thing. I think he intends to turn it into a necklace piece. Sharks teeth for a seafarer, boar tusk for a landlubber.

Speaking of 'wild things' take a look at this fellow. I got it in a roundabout way - from my daughter who received it from a friend that daughter says is not prone to spread hoaxes or rumors. The caption on the photo was taken (wildlife camera) at a lease near Jacksonville (my area). That is some stout looking Cougar in my book and it kind of shocks me altho there has been evidence in the past plus sightings that back this up. https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=0d5688d6a7fb5990#!/?cid=0d5688d6a7fb5990&sc=photos&uc=1&id=D5688D6A7FB5990%21543!cid=0D5688D6A7FB5990&id=D5688D6A7FB5990%21545&sc=photos

That would make my want to have some big dogs that sleep on both the front and back porches.
