Wild boar struck on Route 2 causes a stir

Evidently they have not checked beacon hill lately !!!

Does Chester Hall have any contact information? I'd be interested in buying some of those sausages or bacon if he ever butchers it.

Was this you?

Those things can be big, Chester Hall sure will be brought to tusk.

Glad the troopers showed up to protect liberty and justice feral.

Sure is a mystery where it came from, but I'm sure they'll figure it snout.

I hope it wasn't mated, otherwise there's a family out there without someone to bring home the bacon.

Maybe from now on boars will realize it does not behoove them to go out on the roads. And if they do, slow down, it's worse when they're Russian.

Oh, very droll.

Hey, look up the great recipe for wild boar and chocolate sauce (really a mole and DELICIOUS).

Dammit, my domesticated Boar, his name is bulldozzer, escaped from his pen on Tuesday. Now I know what type of fate he met. I had been feeding him toxic meat, so I would watch out if you plan on eating him.

I guess Bill Weld missed one while he was preparing his endorsement for Obama.

I'd much rather see Chester dangling from a tree limb!!

pretty Boaring story

I think the car that hit the boar must need to be put down too!!!

State wildlife officials have never been to Tia's.

Tusk,Tusk,Tusk

My condolences to Senator Kennedy and his family.

Wait, you mean this was a boar and not a bore? My bad.

Apparently Sarah wasnt watching the border

Was it wearing lipstick? :o)

The article wasn't clear-but was this that farmers ANIMAL or did he just get it to lure the coyotes....

And wouldn't any boar do? Why a Russian one...
That poor thing.

Does anyone really know what in the hey a Honkin Big Russian Boar is doing in Massachusetts. This is the Mystery that needs solving?

Anybody going to eat that?
Prepared in many different ways in Eastern Europe. Tasty!

HA! Chester, the great white coyote hunter. Must know one of the cops or been a listnin on his scanner to come from 'bout an hour away to get this boar. Now, if you're gonna shoot some dogs, what we need round-chea is a good pitbull and rottweiler hunt. They gittin' thick like flies lately.

Thanks to whoever wtruck her, I can finally stop sending my Ex her alimony payments!

I'd much rather see Weld dangling from a tree limb.

would suggest la caja china for cooking

It is obvious that this animal boar no resemblance to other swine which inhabit region.

Seriously, though, where the hell can we get some of that bacon, sausage, and pork chop? Is there like a contact number or email? This is bacon the way God intended it to be--giant and delicious!

I betcha Sarah Palin could field dress it.

how horrible to hang it from a tree. how barbaric; poor thing should be given a proper buriel.

I think the Niell family is hog wild!

Was this a female boar out looking to get paid for a date? ...What a Bo!

I bet Palin's not surprised we have Russian boars in Mass. After all, this is the anti-American part of the country - the real American boars are all down in small-town Ohio.

Hey Chet- maybe you can hold a "Swine and Cheese" Party!

My Wife sure is going to miss her twin sister.

you hang it to drain the blood out before you butcher it. wouldn't spend too much time carving though, guaranteed to be infested with worms and such.

I'd tap that!

I think it is sad too - no one feels sorry for the poor animal. Why did they hang it up??? I agree - it is barbaric!! We need to respect animals more - they feel just like we all do.

Must be a slow newsday for this story to be HOGging so much space.

Pearls before Swine!

This picture brings back fond memories of when I lost my virginity.

Wild boar? Isn't that an oxymoron?

This story raises more questions than it answer - is it common for people to claim road kill? how did the farmer from an hour away find out about the boar? is it legal to bait coyotes for hunting? how did Mr. Hall come to be so well versed in wild boars? do tell...

I guess Chet likes to kill stuff. Go get them coyotes Chet. Good boy.

So...why did they kill it? Its nice to know we still have some wild animals in MA

Did anyone ever think to check this Russian Boar for his passport??......All you Illegals better think twice now!!

No really. I have lived here all my live and I never heard of a Russian Wild Boar. If it isn't part of that game farm in VT shouldn't we find out? Can't someone from the State Wildlife Dept go check it out before Chet puts it on a skewer to catch som coyotes? It is a little suspicious....a RUSSIAN boar...and Putin was just up over there, raised his head and there he is, it's Alaska...not Massachusetts. Maybe this is proof of Global Warming, species moving far from their normal habitats. Or maybe he took the Bridge To Nowhere.

Why is Chet aggressively hunting coyotes? Is that legal?

Why is Chet aggressively hunting coyotes? Is that legal?

Did the boar have papers, was it here illegally?

I suprised Sarah Palin didn't see the boar coming. After all, she can see its homeland from her house.

Perhaps it was an old Soviet Boar instead of a Russian Boar. Then I could see it being drawn to the area by local politics...

Russian boars exist ONLY in two places in this country, a few ranches / game parks Texas and a private hunting preserve near Hanover NH. They were first introduced to this country in the late 1800's by Austin Corbin ( opened Coney Island) From the picture, it does NOT look like a feral pig or even a boar/pig mix ( they have white marking) so that means someone left the gate open in NH, and that was one lost tusker, too bad, a 200 pounder at that

The animal's tusks can be used for lobotomy duty. Yup - just boar a hole through the cranium.

Animals are not people they are food.
road kill is a common food source.
Coyotes are a pest that must be killed.
City dwellers are so dumb

Chet lives in my town, and news in wildlife circles travels fast, and yes it is most legal to hunt coyotes! If he wasn't shootin' them, there'd be so many up here we'd have no deer or dogs or turkey ...or children!!! ...Or local sheep, goats, Alpaca, etc, etc., etc.

A great idea for tracking and and shooting wild boars before they injure more motorists on The Commonwealth's highways......use State Police Helicopters......better yet, we could spare the boars' lives and use the helicopters to kill the coyotes instead.

knowing barry the kenyan will soon be president should make us all want to jump in front of cars.and lets all thank ted for working on a health care plan. now that he cant make it to the bar, i guess he figures he can do his job from home.

Werdz of whiz-dom from charming Mr. Thompson:
"...Coyotes are a pest that must be killed..."

Yo ! Todd Palin !!! Looks we done got a tailgate n' huntin' bud here for ya !!!
Mr. Thompson, meet Mr. Palin! Now hey --- Good Shootin', y'all !!!

Evolution? That's a commie liberal thing. Let's go shoot us some TAIL !!!

Better than State Police helicopters, we could use LifeFlight choppers, they seem to be going down left and right anyways. Sorry, that joke was kinda boaring....

Looks like the majority of Mass. women to me!!!!

Keep killing tose coyotes.....yeeha........screw you green people, I'm sure there's a million reasons why coyotes are good for the earth and truly misunderstood assets.........oh wait Gov Deville already cut that nonsense from the budget

Is it legal for Chet Hall to hunt coyotes in Massachusetts?

You had a 'honkin big wild bore' campaining for her running mate up in NH last week. Looks like she esacaped her handlers. Chances are that while she was trying to find a copy of 'The Economist' to read while she was in the can, she wandered into traffic. So sad.

Looks like one of my Match.com dates had a run in with a moving vehicle.

Just keep your coyotes and wild boars in Massachusetts. We already have a Senate and Assembly full of them here in the Vampire State - whoops! I mean the Empire State.

It was a gentleman such as this who took a big chunk of Odysseus' thigh out, the source (so he said) of the scar which he bares in Book XIX to the loyal nursemaid Eurykleia. Although the boar got the first lick in, Odysseus spears him, and he bleeds his life out on the rocky slope of Parnassus.
