It was dark and a brief siting, but no, they were not the domesticated variety. I've seen hogs in forests before, and that's what these were. I am constantly in the woods and while I've seen probably over 100 snakes of which, I've pictured a few on this site, but I've only seen a couple deer in the woods. I see tons of tracks in the woods and have seen plenty, plenty deer on the side of 98 and the connecting roads at night along with a coyote, this was my first hog seen here.
I'd rather have hogs than bears -- just this week a bear was spotted in the neighborhood next door. 
(Although as I type this I realize that I have no idea if wild hogs are dangerous or not!)

OH yea....they can get very mean ....particularly the moms if they have little ones around. I know a guy that had a flat tire years ago near where Watersound North is now and one kept him in his truck for hours. Everytime he would get out to change the tire she would come charging out of the woods and he would have to get back in his truck. I would imagine it was pretty scary at the time but we all just laughed ourI'd rather have hogs than bears -- just this week a bear was spotted in the neighborhood next door.

We've seen foxes and coyote in that area, and saw a ton of deer driving along 98 several nights back in April between 331 & Seagrove. I figured hogs were deep in the Pt. Washington State Forest, because I've seen odd little hoof tracks that look different from those of deer. I figured they kept to themselves back there, so I'm surprised these little piggies went to Market. Perhaps the third one had already gotten upset and gone all the way home...
Good, very good!
"We grow Hogs, children and fleas". Hog farms were everywhere! Hogtown Bayou????They're everywhere, rootin'!!! I have a friend in Choctaw that captures and releases on hunting land. I used to live in Val'p and had an old guy that would just sit and talk for days about stuff like that. He was a photographer, so there were pictures to go with the stories.
I grew up in Dune Allen and it was common to see wild hogs and sometimes little piglets running down the road.
Even though I'm "fairly healthy".....it wasn't I that was seen.....
Okay, I don't even know you, but that was funny!!
Maybe Boar's Head was just making a 'green' delivery to our friendly neighborhood Publix?
