Wild pig or loose pet?

Well what do ya think

Hard to tell from the picture... where is it and what are the surroundings?

There's a family not too far from me that has a HUGE pot-bellied pig that they allow to feed in the field next to their house. I did a double-take the first few times I saw it out there, until I stopped and hit it with the binocs.

Anyway, due to the proximity to buildings, I'd say it's off limits anyway, without the homeowner's permission... and they'd be able to tell you if it's a pet or not.

A pig by any name will just be as tasty!

I say, shoot.

arrow it we can put in a pit and q it at choppers

 

[Cal hunter]

If it would have been there yesterday it would already be dead

 

[beastslayer]

I changed my mind.

I'd say, let the population grow to decent huntable level.

Then let the fun begin.

Looks like a wild pig to me. Too much hair for a pot belly and the roundness can be the angle too. The big pot belly pigs drag their bellies. This one sure has room to grow underneath. I would not go to your pal's house without appropriate hunting equipment.

And a last note: If that pig is loose and not marked, it is considered a feral hog. It is for the taking if it is on property that is huntable by all other regulations. Same for domestic pigs. That pig could be pink and hairless, it would still be a feral hog, if it is unmarked and even if it got away two hours earlier!
