Scottish Wild Boar Killing Sheep

“He sat up all night and shot a wild boar as it attacked sheep in the early hours of the morning.”

Very rarely a wild boar will turn to hunting humans.

It is ironic that our fear of the loaded word ‘rewilding’ can disengage some people from debating the topic without prejudice and perception

Assigning fear to a word is perhaps disengaging from balanced debate.

A boar will take someone here sooner or later.

What good is a wild boar? They're good for shooting. Why do you think it is that people make up rules and regulations to stop people from shooting all of them dead. If they were all dead ... nobody would miss them.

Wild pigs are nuisances. I've got no problems with wild boars. Would prefer there are enough of them around to go shoot when I'm bored. But, again, wouldn't miss 'em if they were all gone bye-bye ... and neither would any farmers I know.

I did not know you still have wild boars in that area.

Make good eating do they not?

Somebody call these fellows, sort it right out.

Quick someone give them the recpie for bacon on a stick

That will solve that problem

I wouldnt likely want to eat too much of a carnivore.

But id bet it was a big hog.

I like Texas hogs. A mix of acorn and pecans are what they mostly eat east of Abilene

I don't see it foraging many pecans in Scotland, plenty of Pine kicking around all the same in the Caledonian forests, so it should not be too hard-pressed for its next meal.

Hind legs - smoke em, it’s goooood ham.
Set traps, piggies are smart, but they’ll walk straight into a trap for some food.
Then just slit the throat, no gun shot, no questions asked.
