There was a record hog shot in the backyard by a very surprised 17 year old back in 2017 near where I live.

Of course, Virginia refuses to post where they have ferrel pig problems. Maybe if I had friends ....I have family in western North Carolina. The last I checked (before the pandemic) there were still plenty of ferrel pigs in that area, and North Carolina had no restrictions, and not even an out of state hunting license required to take them on state lands. It's been on my list to head down there on a weekend with a full moon, dump a couple buckets of rotten mash from my garage brewery on the mountain side, set up a blind downwind and wait. Not as fun as roaming around a sprawling open Texas ranch in a chair welded to the top of offroad vehicle and blazing away with an AR like the YouTube videos show. but would hopefully fill my freezer and smoker for the year.
