Texas Outdoor Story: Shea Prihoda & the Boars
Passport to Texas Outdoor Stories from Texas Parks and Wildlife
[Sound of hogs roaming around.]
Opportunistic eaters that they are, a campsite packed with trail mix and hot dogs would be prize winnings to a pig-except that they’re not always welcome. Hearing a raid on his campsite one night, Shea Prihoda tells us about the scare his grunting visitors gave him.
I was camping once and I was sleeping and I woke up because something fell beside my tent and it caved in. So I started hitting and it started growling like a boar. So I started screaming because I was scared cuz it was right by my head. Then, one of the adults, I heard his tent unzip and he threw something, and then we heard a bunch of boars stampeding through our campsite. Anyone that woke up from my screaming heard it.
That night, the pigs and the food were left unscathed; but another encounter is something Shafer…and the pigs…want to avoid
I would kill a pig if I could these days. Let’s go hunting!
