Damn Pigs

[Redmt]

My wife works at my daughters bakery on Mondays. She leaves here about 5:30am. 5 minutes later she calls to tell me there's 2 very large pigs on our lower road going to the front gate. I asked do you want me to come shoot one? No she says that we haven't butchered the buck I got on opening day yet. Ok,,so what do you want me to do? She said they are blocking the road and won't move. I said honk your horn. She did and they still won't move. I said get out and yell at them. She says they are right in front of the car that she was going to try and scare them away yelling at them they were too close to get out. Somehow this appears to be my fault. They finally wandered off. I should go whack one but I'm not really interested a morning project. Besides we just finished a 250+ for "ham" steaks and sausage. Damn Pigs

Go whack one and donate the meat to a local women's or homeless shelter if you already have too much

We don't have a local anything. Our closest stop sign is an hour away.

Lotsa big pigs around San Ardo and Coalinga. For some reason they just get big there

Used to hunt San Miguel and north of Nastyspewmento lake.
Barley farmers would pay me $20 a pig.
Now that's guided hunts stuff. LOL

I don't kill just to kill. They taste really good.

For clarification, you're talking about actual pigs, Sus domesticus?

That's an old picture to clarify exactly what type pigs we were referring to. I'll probably be able to butcher my deer this weekend.

I got to hunt the Hearst ranch a few times.
Story goes Hearst brought Russian wild hogs and they crossbred from there with the wild Spanish/rancher pigs.
Long snouts and black hair.
Took a 350lb boar @hunter-Leggett base just over the hill from Hearst ranch. 3" tusks that cut stringline string with ease.
Still have the skull with one tusk. Rodents take the teeth.
