Yeah. It wasnt a big one, thank goodness :shock: , but it was on my side, on the edge of the shoulder in the grass. I seen him, and I inched over towards the zipper, and all of a sudden, he decided to cross over. Bad mistake. I felt the thumps when my trailers hit him.

There are some big pigs out there, but I've only hit that one. My buddy nailed one, one night. It was a big one. We passed through Mabel,Tx. It's about 30 miles southwest of Wichita Falls. It's a town of about 50 people :lol: , just east of Seymour,Tx. There is a sharp S curve, going through town. He hit that pig, right in the middle of that curve. His truck, both of his trailers were nasty. The right side of his bumper was dented in. Didnt rub the tire, though. His right fuel tank, bottom step were dented. Lukily, it didnt punture the tank. Pigs are some tough boogers. They are strong, too. They can tear up something. I havent ever seen it done, but I've heard that pigs can up root a 7 wire barb wire fence.(They stick their heads under the bottom wire on the fence, and pull up the Tpost, if they want to get under, and cross the other side.)

their long teeth can puncture sheetmetal as well, i`ve seen it happen to 50 gallon drums used for feed, their quick as hell too.

kinda like buffalo, everyone thinks their slow and non violent but if you get one of em going they`ll destroy a vehicle with you inside of it.
