Im sure i saw a young boar laying dead by the side of the berwick upon tweed by pass yesterday,anyone know if there are boar around that area as i have never seen any before
saw one 1m north of earlston a few years agoWhere about? I have not heard of any in the area but if you can give me a location i'll go and make an ID. Im in the area a lot. pm if you don't want to post it.
Am I right in thinking that they do move considerable distances in search of food? I know a lot of farmers round here, no ones mentioned seeing any but that doesn't mean there aren't any. There was a guy just up the road from me who used to keep them. I keep meaning togo down there for a look to see if there are any signs of escapees having gone native.
Back at the start of the summer i was on the way home from the shooting range A lorry had hit a boar and the driver was stood in the road looking at it. I pulled over and asked the driver if it needed a finishing shot? He said the boar was squealing quite loud so he reversed over it. That was boar one not worth skinning.
Or Dunlopped!
