After work I went to the park to relax. Afterwards I was driving out and nearly hit a wild pig! Damn if there weren't three others with him, all scurrying away! My heart is still pounding!

Those wild pigs are delicious !!! We use to Hog hunt a good bit while I lived in SC, and a buddy use to cook the ribs, man they where without a doubt the best Ribs I have ever had.
Talk about Hogs on the side of the road, South Florida is getting infested with them, when I go down to see my Dad I see them walking along I 75, heck one night coming back from somewhere late at night on the bikes we almost hit a Hog that had already been hit and killed, he was so big that if any of us had hit him we would of went down sure enough.

Looking for a hero
Welcome to Arizona. They are everywhere. We have them come to the fence out back to drink the water we put out for the wildlife. They are always raiding my daughter's garbage cans and she goes out with a baseball bat and tin can garbage can lid and bangs on it to scare them off. One time she had to hit one of them. They have really poor eyesight and we think it was just trying to get out of the way. Really stinky critters.
Oh, and they aren't pigs. They are peccaries.

OK that explains things.
We have wild Hogs down here and no, you wouldn't go out in the yard with a bat and a garbage can lid, they are nasty. I have been in the woods where one chased a guy up a tree, the hog then battered the tree with his head time after time trying to get the guy out, the guy finally had to shoot him.
But they sure look a lot a like, heck they may taste as good as well.
I grabbed a picture of a wild Hog, man they sure look a like. But the Hog looks bigger.

LOL! I now 'knew' all this. After I calmed down, I went and read about them from AZ Department of Wildlife. Seems they migrated tens of thousands of years ago from South America. Oh Trivial Pursuit, add this question!
The site does say though, humans should NOT give them food or water. There's too many already, they reach maturity at 6 months!

Wild hogs, especially Arkansas Razorbacks get very much larger than peccaries. And Razorbacks are damn good eatin' if they are not too damn old and grisly --(kind like some of us men are.OK that explains things.

True, a great cook makes a huge difference but I was told by an old timer that had shot well over a hundred Arkansas razorbacks in his long time on earth that the really old and big boars do not make great eatin'. And he admitted having to shoot 'em that were charging him to rip him up with those damn tusks. And most often they will flee from a guy but sometimes the big bad boars will just charge a deer hunter out of pure meanness.The boy I talked about that cooked those ribs, man they where good ( dang getting hungry
Place I hunted below Pine Bluff Ark had many of them I always kept a slug as my first shot in my 12 ga. just in case I had to blast a charging Razorback .
I rarely ever hunted in a tree stand back then so running into one was a clear possibility.
Trust me on this , an Arkansas Razorback boar can kill a man and have done so before--they are not to be taken lightly.--Tyr
