Re: TX: Chambers County Woman killed by feral hogs

A very serious problem here is hitting them in your car. As I mentioned in another thread, my shooting partner took one out very effectively with a well placed 150 gr. Power Point in .308 WIN about 3" behind a troublesome sow's ear on Thursday. That kinda evens the score because his wife hit one in her Ford Escape a year ago and it was totaled.

Almost all of the hogs that have shown up on his exterior game cameras are just passing through, but this sow with piglets had taken up residence. Many in the area are getting hit by cars, and they are very hard to spot sometimes at night until it's too late. Their eyes are dead for the most part.

I view hogs as I do the potential danger of rattlesnakes. I ain't gonna guess about their psychology when they are close enough to be a danger. But I live in a town with 20,000 other people while my SP is right on the outskirts of a very small town about 45 SE of Abilene. Last Saturday he happened upon that same sow with her piglets, she rutted the ground as if her next move would be to attack.

I reminded him of the line in the movie Prizzi's Honor, "She gotta go!" ;-)
