I have been around these feral hogs for quite awhile, I would much rather encounter a black bear while hunting than a feral hog of 100 lbs or more. These critters ain't nothing to mess with, they will maim or kill you with the cutters in their mouth. They are mean, have a mean streak. There needs to be a war on feral pigs, the only way to control them is to poison them all. Now that I live in Tn. they are going to destroy the mountains as they will start erosion by their rooting. If you get a shot at one, shoot, and like a bad guy, double tap if in doubt.
