Hoggette, waiting for a ride.m2ts

Summer of 2011, and for reasons only pigs know a group of young wild hogs have decided to move up from the swamp. Hard on the lawn and flower beds.
Ray, one of the Hunt Club guys, set up a trap where they were crossing the county road and caught eight or nine. Several of them, though, had settled in on my side of the road and were continuing to ravage the woods right up to the house. I borrowed one of Ray's traps and set it up between the house and the tractor shed. Hoggette, here, was the first taker. Ol' George is coming by later to pick her up, feed her corn for a few weeks to plump her up and....
Meanwhile, her appetite seems OK, and a little shower bath will help her keep her cool.
