pigs destroying garden

[oink]

A .22 cal is what our Fl State Park rangers routinely use to control the feral pig population on State Park lands, where hunters are not allowed because the parks are always open to nonhunting visitors. At least this was the policy in the past. I haven't had any reason to know if it's still policy. If the result was a bunch of wounded, dangerous, crazed pigs, I doubt they would have continued the policy for as long as they did. Shot placement (behind ear) and don't take a shot you can't make. I think my neighbors might freak if I let go with a .308 at dawn or dusk.

I don't know that the big hog was a "pet", but it no doubt had lots of genes from modern hog breeding, and an excellent food source.
