Those photos remind me of how my rucksack used to explode every time I got into the damned thing.

The hog hunting deal is new to me. In Missouri, someone released hogs approximately 10 years ago in the Mark Twain Forest near my AO. They have bred and grown like crazy. The Department of Conservation is begging people to kill them, and there are essentially no rules. Bait, spotlight, nobody cares, just as long as they get killed.

Friends now have dogs for hunting the hogs, complete with kevlar vests to protect the dogs from the hogs' tusks when the dogs finally catch 'em. Takes a bunch of dog to kill a 300-lb. boar.

Good luck
