Yep, they are a fair lump of meat. Got to be the toughest quarry on our fair isles, especially the big males. Seen one pretty much eat a dog, although it was a lab

Good observation mate.

 

It's a funny situation . . . . they are penned in one of the woods on the estate (but are true wild boar), but its a big area and they are allowed to do as they please, and have raised a number of litters. The area where the photos are taken, is where they bed down and wallow, as there is a stream that crosses the woodland there. You can usually catch up with them at that point. However, it has been noticed this year, that there are pig signs (rooting etc) in numerous places on the estate outside this woodland, and it seems that they pretty much come and go as they please, pushing through the electric fences like they are nothing, and are establishing themselves around the place.

 

So whether they are 'penned' or 'wild' is kind of up for debate. But lets say, they look, smell, taste, and act (and think) like a true wild boar. And give it a few years and something tells me there will be more out than in.

Donk - i know exactly what they are like when they have young, we have had a few litters here and i have accidently disturbed one, leading to a f*****g chase and a climb!

 

Retic - Aye there are a couple of monster specimins in that wood - there is plenty of food and i will admit i have been dumping turnips etc about the place.
