The Boars are back !!

[Jock Scot]

Shy they most definitely are!Gentle? I am not so sure either,although no one has been molested by one ,yet.To be fair, we have few people about to disturb them and they have the whole of the highlands to wander in,if they choose.We did wound one once and things got a bit exciting for a wee while, before things got sorted out. That is why we don't shoot them with night sights.The places they go to to feed at night look like a squadron of tanks have been let loose for a few hours!The damage to the ground is very impressive!

Over here they can be quite aggressive and dangerous. As was said, our's came courtesy of an errant conquistidor and reverted to a feral state quite quickly. They can kill a human or dog easily with thier tusks which are extremely sharp.

They aren't quite as cute or docile as Tom Good's "Pinky" and "Porky" on "Good Neighbors"!

Still... As "Leroy" sez... "If it ain't Pig Meat, it ain't Bar-b-que"!
