Anyone have any experience with these sombitches?

Camping in a couple weeks in southern Illinois and it's really the only animal I've been told I should be worried about.

Also, this can a be a general thread for your experiences with aggressive animals innawoods.

They are really only dangerous if you have dogs with you. They might come to your camp and dig around looking for food but other than that not much to worry about.

pigs aren't generally dangerous, they'll mainly avoid people. And we have no (threateningly) poisonous snakes or spiders, no predatory animals large enough to pose a threat to a person, great whites down the bottom of NZ but I've never heard of anyone being attacked by one, otherwise few enough sharks to say there aren't any. Also just got best country in the world to live in 2016, suck it world!

They can't, there's a river in the way. Its the same reason we don't get any from Missouri.

We've had people try to release feral hogs in my area and the Conservation police commit full scale genocide against them. I once watched them lock down a farm and eradicate over 100 hogs in one night just to prevent them from spreading.

Literally anything can swim across the rivers. I've seen deer come across the Miss like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGUaO5XyRLU

It's how there's black bear and cougar that pass through every now and then. Btw there are a growing number of black bear south of St. Louis so expect those in Illinois within the next 10 years.

Anyway, I think there's some confusion ITT and generally about wild hogs and those mean ass razorbacks.

Hmm. Well I can say that I've lived here for 20+ years and I've never heard of hogs in Southern Illinois. Not saying it isn't possible, I just think that they're in such a small amount that I'd worry about coyotes eating me before I had to worry about hogs gutting me.

That reminds me, back when I was a roofer, we used to do a lot of work in Southern MO, and every time on our way home we'd stop and grab a roadkill armadillo. Well whenever we'd get back into Southern Illinois we'd leave it on the side of the road in our hometown and wait for the local news station to do an article on how armadillos are starting to find there way into Illinois.

Good times.

Shot two in TN a few years ago. The male weighed 350 pounds. Some great eating. A lot of places consider them a pest that can be hunted year round (like a coyote) so if you're into that and have a decent sized rifle see if you can snag one. Gets the blood pumping a lot more than a deer hunt.

I worry way more about hogs and feral dogs than black bears. Black bears are babies. Bumped into a few and never an issue and I never really worried. Even with a sow and her cubs. Just be chill, no eye contact and don't freak when they hop up on their hind legs and stand up to see you. Good to go. In Idaho now.... Grizzlies and browns on the other hand.... Those i might poop a little.

Testosterone changes the flavor of meat in about all male animals. This is one of the reasons male animals are castrated in agricultural production, why venison from does is less gamey than bucks, etc.

Lol my dad used to do this with sharks in the 80s. Kill a good 4 foot shark out in the ocean and bring it back home and stake it into the creek where he knew it would be seen by people playing in the water. He also used to regularly catch alligators and let them go in the house until my mom threatened to leave him.

If you see potholes or otherwise really bug up ground all over, you have found where they frequent and should be on guard.

Went camping in the woods in south central Florida last weekend with a friend.

They came at night in great numbers and were getting within 20 ft of our hammocks. Our packs were tied in a tree and we cooked 100 meters+ from camp.

I quietly asked my friend if he was awake so when I went apeshit he didn't brown himself. Then i yelled a lot "fuck off pigs" and "Don't make me get out".

Naturally they fucked off for a bit, but came back. I finally god out of the hammock, mace in one hand, kukuri in other with my headlamp on strobe and chased their little pack away. It was at least 2 large ones with god knows how many little ones squealing and roweling like banshees.

Appearently they came back a third time but i was out like a light when they showed up so my friend just laid there trying not to poo himself.

Waiting until I was up to go poo, said he waited hours to do that. Told em you just have to act like a man and chase them off and if they charge, put a tree between you and the big one and throw rocks / sticks / dirt if needed.

dunno how to greentext so fuck off.
