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

[Andrew]

Our street on Leilani is suddenly over-run with a herd of pigs. My yard looks like a plowed up potato field and they are eating a lot of expensive plants.

Any ideas or solutions are welcome.

[punafish]

Ouch. No ideas other than getting in touch with your neighbors and putting out feelers to local pig hunters for help?

So glad my yard is fenced in.

a gun a knife and a frying pan ?

Yeah, I'd let people know the general area and hopefully some hunters will magically appear.

[Andrew]

Well apparently discharging a gun in Leilani isn't allowed which in this case is kind of dumb. If anyone wants the low down on a possible pig hunt they can email me at nisbet1@yahoo.com

I was speaking with someone who kills them with a knife- with their bare hands- but it is possible he was just trying to impress me[]

[Andrew]

Apparently bow hunting may be an option. The ones I saw in my yard (about 12 of them) are small and look like they would provide some real nice bacon. A neighbor mentioned seeing a 300 pounder complete with tusks and all. If I see it on the street while driving I may try to run it over.

Some folks use a pig trap.
There are often some advertised for sale on Craigslist/farm & garden.
Also, on Craigslist, sometimes there are offers to bring the trap to your place to do the deed.

Thanks James, I'll look into that.

I'm only a few lots away and they looked at my driveway while heading your way. It is a lot of work, and it took me weeks since I take regular breaks, but a fence and gate do a lot of good for pigs and other things. And I am also close enough I'd hate to have a stray slug come my way.
