PIGGIES!

The pigs came back this year with a vengeance. We started seeing a few here and there, and then it seemed like every time we drove down the driveway, we'd see bands of them, eating mango or just tearing up earth. We called Barry back, who set snares all over. In total, in a couple of months, he's caught maybe 10 pigs. I'd like to say I feel badly about it, but after learning that they are able to reproduce near 4ish months and then can bear 3 litters in a year, I am not worried at all for their population, plus they're all getting eaten.

On a particularly pug-full day, we caught two here on our property. Barry already had one in his truck from another area, and was on his way to get a different one.

Here he's hog tying the larger of the two caught here (after lassoing it)
Here are the two from our property
