Last weekend the farmer who rents our land was combining soybeans in the front 80acres. My wife saw something running around the field and called me over to the window. I looked through my spotting scope and saw a small, black, swaybacked pig with an oversized head about 40-50lbs. "It's a wild boar" I exclaimed. I grabbed my gun and drove out to the pig. With my 12ga. aimed I slowly approched it. It turned and started coming right at me! With stories of Hawaiian boar hunts running through my head I kept aim. When it was about 10' away I realized it wasn't moving in a threatening manner and I lowered the butt of the gun. The pig came up and sniffed the gun, turned and walked away. As it walked away I could see it was a barrow and I realized it was a domesticated animal, a Pot-bellied Pig! Apparently it was my neighbors. It definetly would have made for interesting converstation if I would have invited him to a hog roast!
