Tame Wild Boar Elwood - Lost In The Wilds Expeditions starts a foundation...

[mcreminisce1]

man, i tame wild cats of different sizes. but, i never thought about taming a boar. why thats plain crazy! you got guts! ever mess around with gators?

[UPTBlockObama]

i would shit my pants if i came to a friends house and a damn boar was running around

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@UPTBlockObama LOL Yeah, he was totally house broken. It was fun when he was little! Problem was, in his teen years, he would just get rowdy. He didn't realize how strong he was and if he wanted something under the couch, he would just scoot it over!

[UPTBlockObama]

@KeithFoskeyMusic has he hurt anyone by mistake?

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@UPTBlockObama When he was real little he didn't know any better and he would sometimes accidentally scratch you with his little tusks. He grew right out of that. He was the smartest, gentlest animal I ever had.

[ZolowDKspree]

It looks like he is scratching the ground like a cat will do on a blanket or something.

[AltarOfThoughts]

Damn. Have you ever thought about training it for protection purposes ? Imagine 300 pound boar doing bitework!!! Awesome :)))

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@TheBerocking - The smartest, most charismatic pet I've ever owned. He was raised with puppies. He didn't know he wasn't a puppy for long time. His absolute love and affection for Jasmine and I just became more mature as he matured. More gentle, more centimental.

[hogballs32]

@TooGoldForThisShit LMAO Australia is loaded with hogs man.

I live in Myakka FL. we are over run with them. I hunt them trap them and hog dog them.

I have had them for pets to. Babies tame so fast but be safe they can still hurt you and it's not legal to have one as a pet just fyi

[DAILEYericCaryUSA]

Many other videos on You Tube about trapping feral hogs seem to demonstrate that most trappers have not planned how to handle the "catch" when their traps work. Looks like a real problem to me. Some animals are being handled real bad by inexperienced trappers. Some of those folks need better preparation. What do you think?

[MadSeer]

@DAILEYericCaryUSA I think some people are too retarded to learn how to freaking hunt before actually going at it, making the animal suffer needlessly when they could have forced their asses a bit to have a quick and clean kill, just for the sake of putting it on video and bragging about it later. Humans = fail.

[HarryHydro]

Looks like he's diggin' for truffles!

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@TooGoldForThisShit

Ha! There you go.

When I first really met the Boar species, I had dropped out of society and I lived primitive for over four years amongst the coastal GA barrier islands, marshes, swamps and brackish water. I had a series of wealthy private land owners that allowed me. They own large islands off shore amongst the marshes. There are 48,000 acres of marsh and hammocks, rivers, etc. in McIntosh county alone. No place I've seen has more feral hogs, all over the southeast US.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@TooGoldForThisShit

Awesome! Thanks a million, bro!

Hey, everything is worldwide now days. Anything is possible.

Thanks again!

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@TooGoldForThisShit

Ha, ha, ha! That's hilarious. I have been bounced around by them a good bit.

See if you can find us a production company that will pay you and I to shoot a reality series. I just don't have time to do all this stuff. I'm out in CO right now. There's a fortune waiting for us both.

"I shall show them something they've never seen before." :)

I caught a 10' Alligator by hand off the bottom of the South Newport channel once, also. I needed the meat. :)

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@TooGoldForThisShit

Boars don't charge me much. They don't sense fear in me. A big, mean one will at first, until they see that I'm the predator. That charge is gonna get one of us caught!

I figured it out one day out in the open when I got caught face to face with a monster. There was no where to go so I ran right at him. Before he got all the way to me, he changed his mind. He went back in a hammock, where I found him holding my dog down, trying to cut him. He got caught.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@TooGoldForThisShit

I heard that!

They have a range of movement just like anything else, though. I'm 5' 9" 130lbs and I've caught hundreds by hand with one gritty 60lb bay/catch dog. I caught as many as the dog did. We usually just get their attention for each other. One distracts them while the other makes a move.

[Bob99ish]

Im sorry if i came of as rude as well.

but I really wish too know, what is your plan?

capture all 2 million boars in the USA? I'm sure that you are aware that the population of these animals can almost double in 6 months, and that to control the population 7 out of every 10 boars will have to remain abstinent.

so even if you make a difference and capture all 2 million plus boars, alive and well, what then?

what will you do?

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@Bob99ish - I have a plan big enough for every hog's sake. I may have been born to do this. I can't reveal any of my positive outlets for these hogs. I've been robbed enough by people that had more money to invest in one of my brilliant ideas than I did. I could make millions off my plans.

Surely a large amount must be slaughtered, but not in the way that they are. I can't reveal my plan. Get an investor, a no compete contract, and let's make millions. I need a nuetral, worthy investor.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@KeithFoskeyMusic - Tell the state offices, whoever... Pay me and I'll fix this.

It has always seemed like I'm working directly against the powers that be. "We can handle it." But, all they know and do... makes matters worse. And sure, several agencies have wanted me to just tell them how I do it. I can work for individual land owners, but I really need to be declared a state agent. To be allowed to move as the hogs do. Hogs don't recognize federal land boundries. I need state contracts.

[Bob99ish]

sir seriously?

please tell this to people in abevielle georgia, who literally have hogs everywhere, attacking people and ruining peoples lives by killing off crops

and don't even get me started with Texas.

i seriously doubt that anyone is asking you for your trap blueprints, because someone who must fight to keep there way of life alive shall definitely come up with a better trapping method the someone clearly unaware of the threat these animals pose.

and what is your plan anyway?

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@Bob99ish - You just don't get it. You have no idea who you are talking to. That's not your fault. I apologize for being rude.

I know more about these animals and what is going on with them than anyone else you will find, in the US. I'm actually an expert consultant for some serious agencies.My control methods are the most effective ever conceived. My trapping systems the most advanced ever designed.

The senseless slaughter of these animals is far more detrimental than beneficial.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@KeithFoskeyMusic -

*EVERONE VISITING: Please, spread the word...

I am offering my services ONCE AGAIN to any state, city, county, federal agency, private land owner, and/or farmer. I am a nuisance feral hog removal agent. I am the inventor of the most effective trapping system ever designed. I am the only control agent that can guarantee a complete and concise control. My experience with feral hogs has enabled me to offer discreet, professional, courteous, service that is unmatched.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@KeithFoskeyMusic - *EVERYONE VISTING: Please, spread the word...

Slaughtering hogs is just making it worse. Poor trapping tactics are making it worse. You don't know what I know! And I'm still not telling!

Let me help you, help the hogs, and help myself all at the same time. Is it possible that I, who has dealt with hogs 2.5 decades, knows something you don't?

Email me and I'll quote you rate for TOTAL CONTROL. No more hog damage, period.

It takes my entire system, not just a good trap.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@KeithFoskeyMusic - *ATTENTION EVERYBODY:

I will solve your hog problem! SOLVE IT!

But, it's gonna cost you.

I will bring in a small team of people and equipment, and in three weeks, we're done. You won't have any more hog problems. I'll even solve the problem of future hogs migrating.

We get paid upon arrival. I won't even explain any of my techniques until I cash the check.

Tell your local agencies! Tell farmers associations!

Everyone told me "we can handle it!" But they can't!

[Bob99ish]

too the people above who say "let the boars live" clearly your misinformed

Elwood here is clearly a compassionate animal, rare for (what im guessing is) a MALE hybrid of a russian boar.

these animals, pure russian or hybrid, and violent, destructive, and overpopulated.

the boar population has been skyrocketing! the boars have destroyed whole REGIONS of crops, unbalance natural ecosystems, and killed people.

thats not a lie, there have been instances of boars, unprovoked attacking people.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@Bob99ish - Ladies and gentlemen! Yet another asshole that should go hump somebody else's leg!

Will someone please tell this genius that if all the rednecks in dixie put their brains together, they wouldn't ever know as much as I have forgot about controlling this problem.

Once again, excuse me for caring about an ANIMAL THAT WAS PUT IN THIS SITUATION BY MAN IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Tell the USDA and the DNR to quit begging me for my trap blueprints!

[jrobo199]

thats fucked up..just like a dog or another pet getting killed. sorry to hear that.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@jrobo199 - Thank you so much for your consideration. We really appreciate it.

[clayton4x487]

try that with a really wild hog and see what happens lol

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@clayton4x487 - I've handle hundreds of WILD hogs. That's what I do. I catch them alive, by hand, full grown, with ONE bay dog, or with a trap. Didn't your mama ever tell you if you didn't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? That's right... I AM 10 times the man that you could ever imagine how to be, at 130lbs 5'8". & I protect these hogs. A real man doin somethin useful for our planet. Standin up for animals that inbred rednecks slaughter 2 prove their manhood to themselves.

[TheMrsamuelson]

i used to know a guy who had a pet boar and we would let him run around in a show arena for horses and we would put the dogs in the arena and they would run around and play and stuff but we had to let it go because he was getting old.

[minator3]

big great hunter kills a pet

[92359hg]

Tears ............. for Elwood when I see videos like this I feel that we (mankind) may have a chance at survival of own own species - as for the guy that murdered him .... will not say on here what I would have done had I seen this heartless heathen!!!!!!!!

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@92359hg - Thank you very much! We seriously appreciate it.

[MaryMMerritt]

Is Elwood actually yours?

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@MaryMMerritt - Yes. We fed him since he was a half a day old. He had to recesitated 3 times. We raised him to 250 lbs at 4 years old. He was killed by a known poacher named Paul Keen in McIntosh County, GA . Thank you very much for asking about him. We miss him like our only child was murdered.

[MaryMMerritt]

Very beautiful. Pigs are sensitive, intelligent, and caring creatures. Until you have one, no one can really judge. Can I buy the music anywhere?

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@MaryMMerritt - Thank you! That's Pink Floyd.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@limdaf - Most ferals are.

[1234bowtech]

not trying to sound mean or anything but just curious why would you help a species thtas overpopulated and cause over $20,000,000 of damage?

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@1234bowtech - I, by far, know more about and do more about the control of feral hog overpopulations than anyboby you have ever known. Excuse me for wanting to do it humanely for an animal I respect, who was put there by man. Mankind... Now there is the OVERPOPULATION you and everyone else really need be concerned with.

[RedUncle]

Elwood rules!!

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@RedUncle - You rule!

[chg657]

He loves his daddy...An' he sure was tellin' you all about it !

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@chg657 - Yes. Thank you so much!

[viper90988]

is a wild boar the same thing as a razorback?

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@viper90988 - "Razorback" is the breed name for the common, native wild hogs of Europe and Russia. Feral hogs in America are usually a variation of hybrids.

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

Aaaaw.....

[KMK39]

Great film! I wish there were wild pigs here but unfortunately grizzlies love to eat pigs so they would not last.

[spfraiders15]

my mother is a boar

[daniellesfriend1]

very kool! i had a pet potbelly and enjoyed him very much! he had a heart attack but he was a wonderful pet! and a family member! would like to see a tame boar! and not through a bow or gunsight! wonderful job!

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@daniellesfriend1 - Thanx a million!

[danstan1986]

haha what a gorgeous animal... and a perfect song choice for the vid =D

[MaryMMerritt]

Just wonderful. It takes a special person to love a pig like that. I just lost my "feral" pig at the hands of 2 teen-age boys with baseball bats and dogs. She didn't make it through the night. Pigs are so very special, sensitive, and smart too. AND I'm sorry that pigs don't smell . Try smelling one once.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@MaryMMerritt Thank you so much!

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@MaryMMerritt - Thank you so much!

[Hellknight3d]

awww : )

[7KAYJAY7]

those things are some mean little bastards

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@billsfan869 No, it's a just hog. It's up to the owner as to how familiar they want to get with the animal. Plus, I test all of my Feral hogs caught out of the wild. Thank you for asking!

[djcoreyboi]

fucking dope boar bro! best of luck with what you guys are doing! :)

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@djcoreyboi Thank you very much! See inbreds... that person has a life.

[bluelagoon10023]

i bet this guy smells great after playing with the pigs....in the dirt

[avalonway62]

you save all you want,i am taking all i want-bone yard

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@avalonway62 Your are a brain dead, inbred, retarded, peice of shit, pussified, queer! How do you like that? Got any more comments? GET A LIFE! WTF?

[TheAnimalDen]

i wanna hog!

[dunorfek]

here on our ranches we are doing our part traping and shipping them to mexico come to find out they love our pigs. so nothing gets wasted and we feed to hungry at the same time.

[limunnnnnn]

lol best friends D !!

[txm7721]

A relative on South Carolina once raised a small pig.

They tied it up on a rope and kept it in the dog house for a while b/c they did not have a pig pen.

The pig soon became the family pet.... It roamed around free as a dog would.

It would come when called .

The small kids rode on its back.

And the pig enjoyed being washed down.

A few years later, when it came time to kill the then hog... it was a difficult task.

The kids refused to eat it their pet.

[whowantsabighug]

Oink oink oink. :D

[troubadourhunter]

Cool music with the clip...so is this pig actually a native to your country?What breed of pig is it? Cheers

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@troubadourhunter Russian Razorback hybrid. They are "Feral" here. Released to raise wild and never fully recaptured. Now they are overpopulated in many areas. We will be glad to tell you much more...

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@troubadourhunter Thanks for the compliment on the music. That's me playing and singing one of my originals. Thank you.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

I am doing more for feral hog control than any of those inept, inbred morons whose comments I've deleted. I choose to be humane. The problem is, I make all you redneck tough guys that are scared of a hog doubt your own manhood. Thats not my fault, this is what we do.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@WyoPH82 Fair enough. That is why I'm at the forfront of feral hog control. Doing what I can to help us all, including my hogs.

[PeeWeesGirlie]

He so adorable! It makes me have a whole new appreciation for these creatures. Wonderful work!

[jerry0o8]

they are being eradicated because there are so many of them down south, i saw on the discovery channell. they are dangerous

[PinkBow180]

He is SO cute! you guys are awesome!

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@PinkBow180 Thank you so much sweetheart! We are trying to do something against these inbred, trigger happy, morons. Trying to give every animal a voice, especially one that humans put in this situation. Thanks again!

[ironcity1933]

there is no "native species" of boar or hog in north America these things are destroying our crops etc. they need to be eradicated.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

Learn to read or just mind your business. "...the impact of hogs upon native species." I'm at the forfront of control, what do you do?

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

Your species is not smart enough to presume that another species needs to be eradicated. I promise you that

[knifeofspaghetti]

How did you get Elwood to grow out his fur and go "feral" if you raised him from birth?

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

The shag is in his blood. He, like most ferals, is of Russian Razorback decent. Razorbacks and such are wild bloodline Boars. *info: *feral - any non-native wild animal.

[thelouisfanclub]

so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 i love wild boar

[sharpie443]

He looks like a nice boar but his friends are the reason I don't go into the woods without my .357 when i go down south. They are a nasty mean bunch if you run into one in the woods. The normal leave the alone and they'll leave you alone doesn't work most of the time.

[BigDaddyGonzo]

You are doing good work! But in many cases when the natural habitat is competing for forage the only solution is a 7.8mm implant. This implant can be effectively administered from 200 yrds with a common .308 Winchester. This implant will help to reduce my hunger for a few weeks. In a few cases here in Saskatchewan, sheep producers don't know wether to blame the coyote or the wild boar.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

Fair enough. It seems we are the only ethical guide service and humane control agent in exsistence. We find that interesting because pretty much every hunter is ready to tell you about their so-called "ethics". We have the knowledge, experience, and the balls(where most do not) to do something about these animals' situation, and so we shall. No one knows what to do... well, call us.

[southamerican888]

What a cute animal i wish to smell and kiss and olso i wish to share my bed for sure he, or she will bemy baby.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@southamerican888 That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard on here! Thank you, so much! We have piglets, by the way.

[Tilly4747]

im a hunter myself but i have pet feral pigs, there not better than a dog but geez they make you laugh

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

Sounds like we have alot in common, let's stay in touch. Thanks for your comment.

[Tilly4747]

yeah check out my vids, nothing special but all our dogs are young and still learing, def be better vids to come

[bronzesel]

I'm so glad to see a video showing there calm,relaxed. I love the way he was talking to you.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@bronzesel I can't thank you enough for stopping by and checking us out!

[GriffndorK]

Sounds great, good luck.

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@GriffndorK Thank very, very much!

[jessica1fox]

Wonderful video!

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

@jessica1fox I cannot begin to thank you enough!
