Wild Boars

Posted admin

One moonlit evening, on a small mountain in South Korea, a wild boar rages. He is atop a grave, in a line of graves running down the hillside, oldest to youngest. He could smell the bare earth that made up the mound. It had attracted him for a mud bath. 

After he finished his midnight bath, he left a large hole in the mound. Such is the nuisance of wild boars in South Korea.

I once met a wild boar.It was of a little striped one. The baby was stuck down in an army road drainage system on Mudeung Mountain. 

There was also a sun-down encounter on the mountain that I believe was also a wild boar family. I used that experience to write first misstep.

Like the UK, South Korea has very few large wild animals other than wild boars. (They are trying to re-wild moon bears in national parks.) So, this article from the Guardian is close to the Korean experience.

Wildlife is a valuable nuisance, but mostly seen as a nuisance.
