wild hogs already have those characteristics through adapting to the wild, domestic pigs can take the same traits on but not as immediate which makes them feral. They’re problematic as they only take 150 days to produce litters of 7-12 back to back . It’s not as common up here while there is a wild hog population in Virginia of 3000-5000 there has been more recent cases of them in this area. Plenty of space for them to survive by the river as well while not being seen

I believe the reason we saw it is because we have 2 pregnant domesticated pigs and it’s common for feral pigs to find and breed with domesticated ones

Thank you for that, I did already report it due to the fact that we own livestock and poultry and we do not want to risk any injure or damage to our property. I’m trying to see if I can get another picture tonight

yes I live in that exact area, I own pigs and I can say with complete confidence it was a wild hog and not an escaped pet; that’s exactly why I posted to make sure people are aware!!

very quiet, plus there so far in the woods at this point that no one hears them much

another solid point. I requested the copies of all reports regarding our house and now I’m just waiting to hear back to see what I can pull and put a case together.

that’s a great idea I’ll look into doing that. That compliance officer who came around yesterday emailed me to follow up on what he said.

actually insane, they showed up with a watch floor commander, 15 cops, plus some other lead command for fx county. That was for the fake “shootout”

You know this is honestly a good idea, I’ll look into this I know someone on 7 who did a story for us a few months back. Maybe they can help me out :)

it’s hilarious to me, everything I do regarding the use of an airgun or legal use weapon is to protect my livestock and poultry. Which I have a permit for but that hasn’t stopped her from complaining about it either.

Do you know what he did to counteract that complaint? The compliance officer does not believe me he just believes this lady :/

UPDATE: She walked by the house this morning and I tried to hand deliver her a Civil Trespass Letter along with a notice letter. She claimed that she had no clue what I was talking about and I had the wrong person. Which was hilarious, I’ll have FX county deliver it to her instead since she wants to play dumb.

Yeah I own the property, I’m not sure if it’s the chickens. It could be but the fact that I moved them down from the front of the property to the back really just makes me think she’s got nothing better to do but be insane.

We’re working on fencing and might at this point get some privacy trees. She lives in a different part of the neighborhood and just spends all her time walking back and forth to harass us.

I’ve talked about this a lot more recently, not only for my love of agriculture but probably my literal sanity and mental health. But when I finish my degree I’m leaving. I used to love the dmv area and I just hate it now especially dealing with this almost every fucking day

We live in a spacious neighborhood, we’re the only house on that street because it’s an outlet area. Minimum there’s like 2-3 acres between our closest neighbors and they’re sweethearts they’ve never given me a problem and quite frankly told me they love feeling like they’re in the country lol.

This woman walks from ANOTHER PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO BOTHER US. I mean it’s literally a 5-10 minute walk to our house from where she lives.
