feral pigs, most likely escapees from a pig farm. Whats the hunting laws on pigs in Ireland?. They breed like rabbits and are considered vermin in most countries. Tasty vermin though.
@jono1798 This is in a heritage site called Craggaunowen; they are fenced in and definitely not for shooting. If we have any hogs running loose over here they are feral rather than wild...
@8by57 You could well be right, but the information panels on site indicate they are a wild species. Perhaps they are a variant different from what you are used to.
@seafisherman80 I guarantee it is, since I took the footage myself, about 30 min from where I live! If you do a google search (for craggaunowen wild boar), you will find plenty of references to the fact
I'm taking my pack of hounds up their next Sunday to get me some rashers and sausages for Monday morning. Yummyyyyyy!!!!
