Yesterday I was walking along my fenceline, and while looking down at a pile of feathers on the ground three young piglets popped out of the brush on the other side, about three or four feet away. They were pretty young, probably the length of your elbow to end of fingers. I backed off quick (was not armed), and yelled at them, but they paid no attention to me, so I got out of there.

Does anyone know how close mama pigs are to the babies when they're not in the midst of traveling and foraging? I know deer and cows leave their babies in one spot and come back later; do feral pigs do the same?
