Damn, that's a good one.Awe, heck - get real - it's a cross between Monopoly and Risk !
Driving home tonight past the crazy lady place who lives in a travel trailer on SS the works you would find in the trailer hood. The whole yard is lit up with Christmas light, walkway/driveway lights and they even lit the hill up above their shack as such. Guess they are trying to scare away the boogeyman.
I think the boogeyman should pull them up with the game cameras, put them in a box and put it on their door step. While at it grab some tools they use and place them at their friends house across the road.

Looks like we are going to have to shoot a sow. Five months old pigs broke into the next pen over with our two pregnant sows. As me and the wife are trying to round them back up, she is getting feisty with the wife and chasing us both up and down the fence line like just like our boar did before he attacked.
Wife grabbed a small 2 x 6 and I told her just grab the rifle as I wrestling pigs she had to contend with the sow til she turned her attention to me in which I fired a shot off by her head to back her up since I wasn't going to chance it with her disposition.
Soon as the piglets are born and weaned she is going in the freezer. Nope not chancing this.

At least she will taste good.
Bummer she is pregnant, it would be nice to kill her right now and be done with it.

Pigs eat meat. You can never lose sight of that. Feral hogs are dangerous, so are domestic hogs. I only raised feeder pigs, buying young pigs and feeding them to slaughter size. Sometimes they gave me the creeps. Had one batch of 3, that I wouldn't go in their pen by myself to feed and water them. I finally built a pen that I didn't have to go in. I had a water barrel on the outside with a pipe poked through the wire and a hog nipple on the end of it. The pigs bit down on the nipple and it released water, I had a opening in the wall where I could pour feed in a trough, didn't have to go inside to feed them.wow. I did not realize pigs were so violent.

Two truck loads of ICF's unloaded which took about an hour a piece or less. Helps I built a community and have a team on standby for rare situations. One of the trucks strayed off course to wrong way, but with the network I have here they notified me.
Had to offload them further down the main road at another neighbors place to keep them away from the crazy lady neighbor from destroying them before I get them all home.

And behind a fence, a slight deterrent.

Yes, you are building community, friends and they are there to help you because you have helped them. At some point, something needs to be done with crazy lady. The Sheriff's department needs to do their job and arrest her. Every. Single. Time. She. Trespasses and causes trouble.
