I think it started out as a domestic dispute....

The police got there too late to save her.

An Amish friend said several were shot and they feel there are at least 200 yes 200 running free..

I was going to say I didn't think any hogs were shot, my neighbor is still around. But they didn't mention calvert county.

Not sure if the pic attached or not. I took this (with permission) at Stauffer's in Loveville. I was told that there are about 20 hogs running in the area. I can't help but thing that everyone would be talking about 200!

This was about an 80 pound pig taken on opening day of MD firearm deer season.

Seems small enough to be useful for meat. In case anyone is wondering about the legality of taking a hog in Maryland please read this from the DNR -
Invasive Species of Concern in Maryland

WOW I don't know what to think about this. Are they dangerous to other animals and people?

Where did they come from?

Extremely dangerous as they get larger and VERY VERY destructive to crops and gardens. Most of them probably just got loose from farms and are going feral.

if they escape, it only takes about 2 weeks for a domesticated pig to turn feral...many years ago, my uncle had about 8 get out...they stayed around the surrounding area in the woods. one came into our yard about 2 weeks later and was unrecognizable as a domesticated pig...it had grown a set of short tusks & was developing the razorback of a wild boar...

He hit him.:shrug: I watched one this a.m. where a guy put 6 or 7 rounds .45 into a pig before it went down. THAT was bad shooting.

When I lived in Hawaii, the preferred method was a machete.
You get the pig to charge and while dodging the rush you hack his neck

Was a side arm carried just in case one only irritated the hog?

EMS said she might have made it.



If they hadn't field-dressed her.....
