I saw it - They were in Reeve's high seats (i know as l have a few!) The Boar 'expert' seemed a little off the mark. When he was explaining that they need a close season, he explained that they, like other wild animals need a time to mate and raise young - then he went on to say they need a close season like deer (dont think he'd heard of Buck season....)! He also said that there were wild populations in most (can't remember if he said all) southern counties in England!
I think we should run a post with people from the site collating sightings in the southern counties?
Seems like there are lots of piggies in the Forest of Dean though!
Bet the FC boys kick themselves when ordered to cull some...
Who was the expert?
We don`t get countryfile here
As for the close season he is spot on, most of our sow's have dropped or are about to drop their young and should have a close season for females.
