Just driving down Nicholson south of Lee/Brightside. Swear I saw 3 or 4 on the side of the road (not the big gals from Tigerland). I check www.findlotsize.com and it looks like it's about 1600 acres of woods between burbank/nicholson and ben hur/gsri. Anyone ever see boars in BR.

Wouldn't surprise me. Those frickers breed like rabbits.

There used to be a lot of beavers on Nicholson between Tigerland and Brightside but heavy rains made them run and they were unfortunately mowed down by cars.

They moved into city park in Nola after katrina. They're built like tanks, angry as shite, and they breed like rats.

True story, I delivered pizza for the old Domino's on Staring and Highland while in school. I hit a deer on Highland near CCL circa early '90's. I picked it up on the way back to the store and our apartment complex had venison for days after.

I can't say about the likelihood of pigs nowadays but they are a problem almost everywhere so it wouldn't be a shocker...

I have seen like 5 deer on Nicholson in a 2 year period. Run them boars over and have yourself a nice roast.

What are the laws regarding boars in LA? Full-year season, no license?

We have a big problem with them on our land down in Carville. That's just a quick jog to Gardere. Those hogs are all up and down the batture.

My grandmother lives in the George oneal area. On some acerage. A few months ago three turkeys walked out of the woods to eat the food she puts out for deer. It was weird.

Anywhere in La. where there are woods, there will be boars. When I was a kid growing up in da Parish, there was a small patch of woods between my subdivision and the next one. It was only 1/2 sq. mile of woods, with no other large wooded areas nearby. We searched those woods for snakes on almost a daily basis for years and had no clue there were pigs there. Then a buddy of mine showed me a pic of a 300 lb. sow that he shot there. Started going out at night, and they were all over back there. Once you knew they were there, they weren't hard to find in the day or night.

Saw a fox running down Rodney last week. Goofy looking frickers.

And to everybody saying meat from wild pigs is as good as venison? No.
