Re: Feral Hogs

I had an encounter (and it was almost close) with one family of three. I was hiking down a primitive section of the Lone Star Trail in an open lowland area when I spotted them about a 100 feet from the trail. I stopped in my tracks, watched and waited. The one that was closest to me was watching me intently as if she were saying, "Don't you eyeball me, boy!" After a pause I backed away up the trail, keeping a close eye on them. If this were a female with youngun's and I were perceived as a threat, I could have been in a heap of trouble.
Kai, I knew that you were doing surveys and that's why I asked the question about a possible increased risk for backcountry visitors. Thanks to both you and Shannon for your input.
