Little late, huh?

They're in KS now too.

It was on the news. A farmer/cattle rancher was all po-ed about them tearing up his land, but said he wouldn't allow hunting for them on his land because it would put his cattle in danger. He wanted the state to come and fix the situation. By the end of the story, I was rooting for the hogs.

Oh Brother!!!!

Well the news said that the hogs had moved in from OK, and were heading in a more or less northerly dirrection through KS. They had some pretty awesome footage of hogs running through fields and underbrush taken from a helicopter. The landowners were pressing the state to do damage control, and maybe shoot them with shotguns from helicopters.



It was awefully dramatic, and there was no knowing how this catastrophy was going to be handled, or if the foreign hogs would soon take over one of the best agriculter producing areas of the whole United States!

You don't know how long I've been waiting to hear that.
