Hugomarink Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 That's less frightening than those Aussie spiders.

Ken Gargett Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 » » This feral pig was caught 300kms south of Katherine, NT, Australia. » » With one of Ken's special flys? :-P it takes a special cast for a pig like that. actually, the thing terrifies me as about 20 years ago, was camping in northern algeria and we had been told no big things that eat people around there but there were some large boar. what harm can a few little piggies do, i thought. only suitable place to pitch a tent was a small track through the scrub. heard a bit of a kerfuffle during the night and some snorting and grumbling. bit of a concern but then it went away. next morning, just near the tent, a trotter print that i could put my open hand in. the thing must have been huge (i have big hands). i look at that and its trotter is near the bloke' hand nd doing a quick eye measure, the hoof on the one in africa must have been bigger still. i think we might have ben very lucky that he didn't just decide to trample straight over what was in his way but i guess a shiny blue tent was a bit unexpected on his track.
SmokinAl Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Jesus Christi! You'd really want to drop that on your first shot. Imagine that thing pissed off and coming at you in the scrub.

Needs to marinte at least 2, usually 3 days. Not in a soft oil marinade, but in wine. When well made, it's exquisite!
marco polo Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 We have alot of wild hogs around here in south Georgia. Some are pretty big , but most are what the older people call 'piney wood rooters' , kind of rough looking animals . :-)
