My assistant lives in Northern Davidson County near Winston-Salem.   Last night this guy game strolling through her backyard.   The picture sucks but she said it was large with tusks and a big hump on its back. 

I called the district biologist and he confirmed that they are everywhere.  I never dreamed we would see them up here.   I asked him what to do and he said that there is no season in our Piedmont counties and they are considered feral and nuisance animals.   He proposed that we dispatch with extreme caution.

Al- you busy?

Those jokers are mean as chit.  Where I grew up in Georgia my family has hunting land and they got into a field we had planted some rye and other stuff for deer and they basically cratered the whole field digging around and rooting.

I am just impressed that this thread has not made the inevitable turn to mountain lion sightings.  Congrats forum!   'c;
I was born by the river in a little tent, And just like the river I've been running ever since, It's been a long, long time coming, But I know change is gonna come.

My picture weighs more than your picture.

John. I wasn't kidding when I said someone needs to shoot that thing.  A sow can have up to three litters a year, with 8 piglets in a litter.  By the end of a year, the sows out of the first litter can have litters.  You do the math.  Once they are established you can't eradicate them, all you can do is keep them under control.  We have them around my hometown now thanks to some misguided soul who released them.  The farmers are not amused.  Everybody shoots them on sight.  If you put enough pressure on them they will move and become some one elses' problem.

They have them in GSMNP, too.  The park service doesn't want to make it public, but they have trappers come in and attempt to erradicate them.  I'm not sure they are winning that battle, though.

Neighbors with kids were warned.  A great big bag of deer corn and some large caliber ammunition were purchased yesterday.   

Will report back with the results of this weekend's operations.
