still getting bigger mate. close to 40lb each now I think. shot 5 of their relatives last weekend but they were too small to post photos of. Nathan managed to hit 2 of them with 7.62x39mm (even if I had to finish them off) a day out and some fresh air was needed. the farmer wants them shot so we did, anywhere else they would have been left to grow but "when in Rome" applied here. I will get a photo or 2 easter weekend.

Elvis teaches them right: it's or eat or be eaten!
on the other hand: I've been told that you can train them (the pigs, not the children!) like a dog. And once they get this dog-status...
only: a friendly hugh of a +200 lbs boar...
but it will give a very nice picture

Elvis, they are close to the size that you need to test out those new Barnes bullets you got for your. 223. Thanks for sharing the pictures, mate. They look great!

Bacon and Ham. In the early days, the piglits were staying inside the house.

Bacon and Ham huh? Reminds of when I suggested my friend name his turkeys Thanksgiving, CHristmas and New Year. He did! However, I don't think any of them actually got served up.

Maybe we should have a forum wager on whether Bacon and Ham every get served.
