Thats why she reacted the way she did. Those piglets were close, I can tell you that. If she only had one teet still swollen, they might have been pretty much weened, but she was still in mommy mode! I've seen lots of sow with only 1 or 2 still swollen and the piglets are already chin high, but she's still ready to throw down.

I wasnt charged directly, but last Feb. in Georgia. I shot a pig as he charged my hunting partner. The pig was no more than four feet away from him when it dropped, and no more than 10 feet from me. According to him, he has been charged over a dozen times (When I last spoke to him).
I have a great deal of respect for those pigs in Georgia...

Sorry to hear about your uncle will keep you and your family in my prayers.
As for being charged by wild pigs hey it's part of the game just remember how you would feel if some stranger came into your back yard intent on killing you
I have scares on my legs from where I was not quick enough
but it sure does get the adrenalin flowing

Astronomical amount of hogs???? IN Amarillo. I hunt Pampa, Miama (note I spelled it just like they pronounce it), Whitedeer, Canadian, Panhandle, Sundown, Herford, etc. etc. I dont get into the "astronomical amount of hogs" till I get off the caprock. Llano, Dickens county, Baylor county, Motley county, Kent county, Knox county, Haskell county, the hill country (Junction), Where is this astromomical amount of hogs around Amarillo? Please, know who and what you are talking about before you go throwing around unpleasantries.

You dont have any friends, do you? I can see why. Take your medication, Kick a poor helpless puppy every now and then and you will be just fine.

I have been charged! It wasa boar that was gut shut and was laying there waiting to die. I walked to him and he got the boost to turn his body, chopping his teeth and ran towards me. I do agree that a hog will usually take the escape rather than charge, but this boar turned and made eye contact with me (about 15 yards away). I was able to get a round in his head and he slid to within 5 feet of me dead.
Sorry fella's but I'm not buyingwhat you said about steppingto the side when a hog is charging you and laying in a field with a rubber band or what ever you do, "Steve Erwin". I live in an area of Texas where we have a astronomical amount of wild hogs. I have seen people charged, know people hospitalized by wild hogs and again been charged myself. My cousin was watering his cows and charged by a sow with babies.
Whether you think they are charging or just running by you scared, I'm not going to be the moron to verify that he is or aint charging me. "he's not chargingjust trying to run by me to get the heck out of Dodge.... I'll just shoot him with my BB gun when he goes by". keep trying that and you'll get got. Let me know how it turns out Tarzan!

Small world. I had relatives who owned the Best Western in Memphis. I know some folks there. Are the Chapelles still living there? I knew Jimmy and his little brother. Ive been to the football stadium there many times. I used to coach varsity football and Memphis is one of the schools Id always schedual for a scrimage. We use to do a three way with Shamrock there. As for hogs in that area, I have seen them there. I have got into a mess of them at Caprock Canyon and ran dogs a few miles out side of Memphis with an old man I use to hunt with in those parts.
Sorry for the nature of my post to you. I had just lost my uncle when I read it and flew off the handle. No excuse, just felt as if I was being talked down on and went off.
