When I lived in Corpus I used to help harvest Nilgai and hogs off of King Ranch in the Norias Division (bout 80 miles south of Kingsville)

.A bit off topic here but I had to tell you all,back in 89 when I lived in Florida,I had only been there about 6 months and I was a truck driver,well I was on this back woods road just west of Ocala Fl. and I had a tire go down on me,so started to change the tire and kept hearing this snorting kinda noise and I was all alone and it was wall to wall woods on both sides of the road and I was the only truck or car in site,and they all of a sudden I said oh look its a pig 
it was no pig,I had no idea and when it charged at me I made up on the catwalk behind the cab and made inside the cab and I was scared to death.
So I learned quick the difference between a pig and a wild bore

My taxidermist removed the real tusks and replaced them with fakes. The real ones will yellow and crack over time.
At least that is what he told me...I have the real ones tucked safely away!

Check out this little piggy...
The hog was killed in Arkansas very recently close to where they hunt. The man in the picture killed him, took 3 shots from a 7 mag. The afternoon before, he saw this hog eating on the side of the road. He pulled over, and when he slammed the door on his truck, the hog spooked, and charged him. He rammed the side of his truck and put a huge dent in it and popped 2 holes in the metal where his tusks hit.
He went back in camo the next morning and sat by a fence.
The hog came out and he shot once and the hog turned and
looked at him. Shot him again and he went to his knees and got
back up. Shot him the third time and put him down. The rest
of the story is the picture. Weighed over 800 lbs.

Don't know him...I was involved in commercial harvest of Nilgai with FDA meat inspector present with EGO (Exotic Game Outfitters). We would havest 50 animals in two days. The animals were cleaned, skinned in a big refrigerated kill truck and then shipped to big butcher shop near San Antonio, for process and packing to overseas restaurants. Some was sent to Health food stores and restaurants in Colorado and California. I use to go during late fall and during winter months (do we have a winter in Texas?) Never got paid, just did for the experience and also to enjoy King Ranch...
