If you were a stranger to the South and reading this, you would think we are a bunch of hicks. Its so funny and the picture of the pig is the clincher. Love the story! Hate it for the folks in the turned over vehicle. I would have just slammed into that little pig to save my car. Years of driving rural highways makes the heart hard when it comes to vehicular animal slaughter.

i was reading up on wild pigs/hogs, since my husband hunts them…if youre going to prepare them (to eat) you should wear rubber gloves and avoid touching their blood or sexual organs, as they carry a good number of unhealthy paracites ….smoked pigs are quite tastey though!

I have used this road for about 30 years living at Canoe then Bratt .I have never seen a pig. I have been hit by a deer in Robinsville.This could cause more accidents. I wonder if signs could be warning of this, They are warning of other animals.

I drove that road to work, from 1991 to 1996, and I never saw a pig of any kind. But, once I saw the biggest pig I have ever seen in my whole life on the side lane of Hwy. 29 north, on the way to take my grandson fishing. I did not know any kind of pig got as big as the one we saw. It must have mutated.

Our son hit a huge hog one morning coming in from work. The wild life people should do something about the over population, this particular area is over run with hogs.

My husband leaves our house (near the Bratt crossroads) at 6 a.m. & has called me many times warning me of the large number of wild pigs crossing Hwy 99 north of Bachelor Road (the road that goes to Lee Vet Clinic). Several times when I’ve been taking my children to school, I’ve seen dead pigs on the side of the road in that area.
