There were some real pigs on Pelican this morning.
 

Wow! Guess the wild boar problem isn't quite solved!!

Where are the panthers when you need them?

I'm glad you posted the picture with your thread because I was playing Amberwood this morning. : )

Does anyone know why there are pigs on Pelican? None were larger than a bread box. I zoomed in to take the shot.

(1) As replacements for the buffalo
(2) In preparation for a big BBQ
(3) Just to tee off the golfers
(4) Studying so they can be the first bigs to fly

Look like babies. I'd watch out for mama, who is probably not far away and who has some mean tusks.

One of the course workers told us that they just appeared a while back with the parents. The parents have both been killed (not sure how). He said the piglets are much more able to disappear into the preserve areas. He said they're considering ways to deal with them...possibly dogs, et. Al. Sounds harsh but pigs can really mess up a golf course, especially the older and bigger they get.

Interesting...Cane Garden CC, the closest CC to Pelican has a Pork Special tomorrow, menu attached.

Oh, sure. NOW they want dogs on the grass!:boxing2:

All golfers I know love dogs.

Get the gun Pig roast time

Touche! Good one CF

Baby Razorbacks!! Woo Pig Sooie!!

I saw them at Pelican a few weeks ago. 15 to 20 cute little piglets.
I understand that they can become destructive when they mature.
But can't they be live trapped and relocated?

I have seen a few piglets at Heron - right next to Pelican - and spoke to the starter about them. He told me that the adult female was trapped a few weeks ago as a nuisance. The piglets will probably survive without the parent pig. Traps are being set for them, also.

Pigs do breed very quickly.
