When Desoto and other Spanish explorers came to Florida in the 1500's they brought pigs with them. Many of the wild hogs in Florida are descendants of those pigs. I captured these at the end of March at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. I was about 30-40 feet away separated by a canal. C&C welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Re: Wild Hogs
Joe, I am thinking the ditch was a good thing...hogs can't fly.
They can get pretty nasty though.

Re: Wild Hogs
Hello Paul, thank you for viewing and commenting. They can be pretty nasty and short tempered, the boar watched me all the time. I was careful not to cross that line when one becomes too close.

Re: Wild Hogs
I adore everything about the first photo... The light, the clarity, the colour and composition and because he is looking right at us.. He looks friendly!
