Some of you may have heard about the truck carrying 2,200 piglets that overturned yesterday near Dayton OH. About 1/2 perished immediately, and the rest escaped. Last I read all but 200 had been rounded up, but that's still quite a few pigs out there. OH didn't have a pig problem, or wild pig hunting, before this, wonder if that's going to change? I understand pigs go feral quickly. No matter what, I have a feeling the number of pig roasts in that area is going to increase immediately and dramatically.
Edit: A look at the OH DNR site shows there are some pig hotspots in SE OH, but TX looks like it's completely covered. Depending on your vocation or hobby, I guess that could be good or bad.

Re: Pigs in Space, well, in OH Anyway
Yeah, it sounds like Dayton got a real good push. That size I think would go feral real quick.Hombre wrote:Some of you may have heard about the truck carrying 2,200 piglets that overturned yesterday near Dayton OH.
