Little Pig, little pig....

[bmf1321]

Found these little guys today. Mom hauled butt and left them behind. I took some pics and left them. Will she be back for them or are they pretty much coyote bait??

Holy cow those things are tiny! I dont think I have seen them that small.. ever!

 

 

I think they should be fine.

I also have found piglets "abandoned" after I spooked a herd. On both occasions an adult returned and took them away within ten minutes or so.

 

I've also seen "pigs" start drifting back to their feeding ground after I busted up the herd. I used this trait once. I called my partner to come over after I'd shot one. It wasn't long before he had one, too.

Look like little red football's! They're only a couple days old; You can still see there umbilical cords.

I had busted the herd very early in the morning, found the piglets and left thinking the adults would come back to get them. I GPSed the location and came back to check late in the day and the little ones were still there without any adult supervision.

I definetly thought about it. Probably best for them to be with the mama.PLus, I'll be headed out of town for a week Friday and I wouldn't be able to take care of them. I've heard they are pretty good pets as well.

I just heard from a friend in Carefree that they were watching some piggies in thier back yard when mamma pig laid down and started popping out piglets.

HAHAHAHA!! Now that's funny Chris

Yes, Ma Ma will be back as long as you have left the area. I've actually stayed around at a distance and witnessed this. Great pictures. I would pass them for a bigger one I think.
