A run in with a wild boar on the H-3 freeway highlights the danger feral swine pose for unsuspected drivers. The driver who hit the pig wants to warn others.

The left driver side of Shoji Shimamura’s car is missing after he said he smashed into a wild boar after midnight Wednesday on his way home from work.

“The bumper actually squeeze into my tire,” Shimamura explained. “I actually keep (driving) cause it was sketchy stopping in front of the H-3.”

Shimamura said he was in shock and didn’t feel safe stopping on the freeway. When he got home he had to clean the blood from the animal off his car.

According to Shimamura, he didn’t see the animal till it was too late cause the area is so dark at night.

“If it was lunch time I could see it but so dark there, there’s no even light there yah,” Shimamura said. “So it was all of a sudden, so I couldn’t even dodge or anything.”

A common fair well in Wisconsin is, “Drive safe(because you’re drunk)! Watch out for deer!”

A sheep on the Big Island killed one a Soldier during training at Pohakuloa.  Driver in a HMMWV swerved to avoid one on the road and flipped the vehicle pinning someone under it.

My first “real” duty station after training was in Montana; lots of wildlife.  In the new guy safety briefing, they specifically said if you have a choice between hitting a deer and swerving off the road, hit the deer.  The briefer said “if you’re driving a government vehicle and you swerve into a ditch to avoid a deer, automatic Article 15.”  Kinda doubt he was serious, but made the point.

Moose, on the other hand… different story.  A moose will straight up kill you if you hit it at speed.  Or if you annoy it, or get between a mama moose and her calves.  I remember seeing a news story in Anchorage in the 90s about a guy getting stomped to death while leaving a gym, I think at the college.  Some jackass kids had been throwing rocks at it a few minutes earlier, and the old guy leaving the gym had no idea, just minding his own business.

A new state law was passed allowing hunters to donate meat to charities.  In the past this wasn't possible due to the difficulty in inspection and food standards.

They could do the same for pigs.  However pigs have a lot more diseases and parasites than deer.

Maybe because pigs are omnivores?  They eat anything. 

But if they could find a way to safely and economically utilize the meat that would be great.  Maybe just make jerky or something.  The US and Canada are getting invaded by these animals.

I also saw a video where they just buried a whole sh*tload of them into the ground to improve the soil.....ship boatloads of these animals to North Korea for their farmland.  I bet North Korea becomes our friends.  (They'll probably eat them instead).

They eat anything. Think HANNIBAL movie with the big piggies.

Here is a little story...
Back in the day, (about 50 years ago) I was sitting by a pig pen under some kiawe trees.
I had my uncles 22 rifle. I heard a mynah bird sqawking high up in the trees.
My friend pointed it out and I got it. The bird fell into the pig pen.
About a minute or two later we heard a crunch-crunch-crunch sound.
Like I said, they eat anything.  :rofl:

My daughter lives in one of the Townhome developments in Mililani Mauka.  Every morning at the crack of dawn the pigs come up to the Townhomes to snoop around for whatever get to eat.

Mostly the mama pig and the babies.  They don't bother.  They just look at you and scoot away.

What I worry about is a Boar with elevated testosterone levels.  Very agressive.

wow!
Just like peop[e.
Stoopid pigs crossing the road git wacked.
Stoopid boy pigs with testosterone wanna fight.

I'm guessing pigs taste better than people, though.
Especially if they are seasoned and smoked.

I took out a couple of piglets one night on the windward side. Thought it was a trash bag blowing in the wind until it was too late.

Moose are no joke. My friend from AK said if you hit one with you car, it's like hitting a wall. What's the plural of moose?  Meese like geese for goose?  Mooses?

The shitty part is like what Zipps said, you swerve and can hurt yourself or others instead of just hitting the animal. But it's human nature to swerve to not hit things like an animal, or another car coming into your lane. Happens all the time, another car merges and is going to hit you, so you swerve and hit the car next to you.
