Baz, That's exactly what I did but the mortar is so high, it's hard to keep it covered with the pine straw.



I guess the only option is to keep the pine straw real deep. You need to open a new thread for free landscape advice! Thanks for the input.--Dave

Freaky

At the 1:00 mark it starts to take shape, at 1:48 is where the head really forms. Bizarre

Like everything else it seems, it probably is fake

I have no idea, there are millions of them. It's been a problem for decades.

Giant Wild Pigs [Nature Documentary]

Published on Aug 27, 2014

This nature Documentary looks at reports of hybrid wild hog and domestic pig. These Giant pigs can grow to an enormous size such as hogzilla, scientists confirmed that Hogzilla actually weighed 800 pounds.
I'm not hunting them. I read in Rolling Stone last summer how Kid Rock was killing them at his place down south. They would set up trap cages, then point blank with a 45, sometimes it took more than one round. If they didn't get to the cages quickly the hogs would tear though the steel and escape.

Depends on how big they get in your area. At the redneck bar I used to frequent on rare occasion (mud bog races every other weekend!) there were guys that would hunt 'em with dogs, a knife, and roll of duct tape. Let their dogs get on 'em, wade in, tape its feet together, cut its throat.

There are also some folk out there that use traditional boar spears.

Me? I'd be in a tree stand with my kit built FAL and a few 20 round mags.

We have way too many feral hogs moving through our property in Central Texas. It is like having the lawn roto tilled every few months. A riding lawn mower gets stuck in all the divots. I wish the damn hunters did a better job of controlling them. They have no room to complain. There will always be hogs, hopefully just not the huge numbers we have now. They will just have to be better hunters to find them. A few shots from my game camera.

Fifth rung of a ladder I start getting dizzy.
Put me ontop a mountain and I'll hopscotch it backwards jumping rope.
The human mind is quite odd.

I think my nads just went back up into my body, no way would I ever be brave enough to try that kind of stunt.

Just being honest about it.

Those animals are up to 5 times heavier than me and a heck of a lot stronger, not to mention thick skinned and armed with teeth/tusks.

I watched the pig documentary years ago (damn insomnia) and it is pretty scary.
Long story short they breed like rabbits and we can't kill them fast enough.

And yes, I have also heard of guys that hunt them by baiting them out into the open, jump the pig, and stab it in the neck with a knife... not my cup of tea!
