Hate to boar you with Pig troubles but what to do?

[csgray]

The whole jumping in with a knife to slit the pig's throat thing is a big rite of passage for the kids around here, not just boys either. My first year teaching I had one girl who was the ultimate girly girl in school, who proudly showed me the picture of her first kill. It showed her standing next to the dead body of one huge boar with curved tusks surrounded by proud Dad, uncles, cousins and their dogs. Because she weighed less than the boar they didn't make her pack it out like they made her brother pack out the smaller pig he got. I asked her Mom if she worried when her kids went out hunting and she asked me if I worried how I was going to eat if the barges quit running.
