Living in north central Oklahoma, I hear reports of wild pigs 15 miles north, 5 miles south, etc. but I have yet to see any on my property. I've captured thousands of gamecam photos of deer, coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, possums, skunks, armadillos, dogs, etc. but never a pig. Until now. Probably. Or maybe not. What say you experts who look at gamecam photos of pigs all the time? Two wild pigs or my something else with its head turned away from the camera? These photos are taken at the edge of the creek bottom woods, about 100 yards from the creek.

Pigs by my eyes--get after them now and stay after them. Use this rule---"Shoot the sows first but don't let the rest of them get away." An old pilot, not a bold pilot, aka "the pig murdering fool" | |||

Those are pigs Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

Yup, hogs. First photo black body is 1000%. The coloring on the front pig would be harder to I.D. but the 2nd one is Time to start putting pressure on them! "Let me start off with two words: Made in America" | |||

Those photos definitely show pork chops on the hoof.  Bobby Μολὼν λαβέ The most important thing in life is not what we do but how and why we do it. - Nana Mouskouri | |||

Thanks everyone! (Though Jeffeosso gets the prize for the most creative answer!) I hope to have some additional confirmation soon.
