watchman 256 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Lunch! im guessing they are penned in though arnt they,going by the state of the ground they on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ideation 8,216 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Semi enclosed in a large woodland, i.e not allowed to f**k off. But they are true 'wild boar'. The ground is so mashed up where these photos are taken, as it's near a nesting site and a mud wallow Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 26,172 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 im guessing they are penned in though arnt they,going by the state of the ground they on Just spent three months in Spain working(going back out if we get a new boat)there are wild boar around the villa,first sign was the amount of ground grubbed and rooted up,they really make a mess of the place one method of attracting them into a certain spot told to me by an old spaniard is to empty diesel/oil onto the ground,they roll in it and the smell attracts them,I emptied some out one night and the next morning sure enough a pig had rolled and rooted around the spot Very nice pics ideation.

Ideation 8,216 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Watchman - i have had a few 'run ins' with them, and a couple of chases where i have been very lucky indeed. I have also seen a couple of dogs seriously f****d up by them. At the moment, with young, the sows are at their most dangerous, all you need to do is be in the area and they will come looking for you, especially if you have a dog, and they move really f*****g quick. Bogger - they need to be semi enclosed, because of the damage they do when they spred. We have them wild around here as well, and they chew the place up. The great thing about them is the population can explode, they breed like feck and are great survivors. The down side is the fecking shooters (sorry) who just stick up a feeder and then sit in a tree and drop them, defra have been up to it, and feeding them into pens and shooting them. Killed a f**k load. These ones are partly a natural forest regeneration plan. Johnny, i know where there are 20 + of those little feckers, your welcome to one, all you got to do is go past momma pig and pick it up. I'll bring the camera and the first aid kit Mackem - cheers, and thanks for the diesel tip Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 26,172 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Just did a quick search and found this snippet......... -Hogs are attracted to petrochemicals such as diesel fuel, creosote and used motor oil Spanish poachers use the stuff all the time along with corn,maize etc to keep them in the area Quote Link to post Share on other sites
