I live in Dune Allen... when I awoke yesterday morning a county cop informed me that a pig was running around in my front yard. He seemed to think it was someones pet potbelly pig that had escaped. Never really seeing one I'm not sure. However it sure looked like something wild to me...
 
Wow- this place is getting crazier by the day. The 3 legged alligator, the horse stampede, a potbellied pig cavorting in a yard- what will tomorrow bring? I am scared to look out the window!!:idontno:

Suuuueeey! :D Sure looks like a wild pig to me. Potty belly pigs have cute pug snouts and I didn't think they were as hairy. It looks like it just had babies, too. BTW, nice lawn.
 
That's a wild hog not a potbellied pig...

What wound up happening to it?
 
It's an invasive exotic...only one thing could have happened if it was removed from the property. At least the officer erred on the side of caution to make sure it wasn't a pet.
 
Looks just like the 2 that were dead on the side of Bay Dr. not long ago. There is alot of evidence of them roaming right now. The north side of 98 (between Bay Dr. & 331) has a couple of large areas where they have been rooting around.
EDIT: the scruffy neck hair makes me think it is a wild hog. Pot-bellies just dont have that hump and longish hair there. Maybe they are trying to make their way back to claim Grayton again.

That is a wild hog, not a pet! And they haven't got any business trying to reclaim Grayton, they are not indigenous. The foresters hate them - among other things, they eat lots of longleaf pine shoots when the tree is in the "grass stage." We saw some tracks here in Seagrove recently that seemed to be hog tracks. The population really seems to have increased lately. :shock:
