Thread: hunting incompetence

That was when I realized that I had pulled up right next to the electric fence, and I and the VERY uncooperative pig were getting repeatedly zapped.

Letting go of the pig would have meant his immediate and permanent departure; climbing back into the van while holding onto the pig didn't seem possible. So, I and the complaining and fighting pig squeezed between the van and the fence (getting repeatedly zapped all the while) until we made it past the van. I pulled away before extracting the second pig.

P. S. they both made good eating later.

The squealing would have been off the decibel meter. From the pig, I mean.
