My guess it that fawn was already dead. It is known fact that hogs will eat carrion. I know some guys who baited hog traps with deer guts and bones. Still a neat pic though.

Here is article the link is to.


For states with a wild hog problem, this picture is indicative of just how bad that problem is. While feral pigs are more known for their destructive sprees when it comes to agriculture or the environment, it should be noted that hogs will also compete and even prey on native species. In fact, there are very few things that the swine will not eat. This picture, which was shared by LouisianaBowhunter.com on their Facebook page, shows a large hog carrying a dead whitetail fawn. The picture is believed to have been taken in Louisiana, which currently has wild pig population of well over half a million.

Just how badly are pigs impacting the deer population? Consider the fact that for the past few years, hunters in Louisiana have taken more hogs than they did deer. In 2015, sportsmen and women harvested 300,000 feral pigs, but only 139,000 deer.

“Hogs continue to be a primary concern,” stated the LDWF in its annual deer report in 2014. “Research shows that deer and hogs do not mix and that deer can be displaced by hogs. Research has shown that deer detection rates can be up to 49% less where hogs occur. Hog populations affect deer numbers through direct competition for food resources and fawn predation. Hogs carry infectious diseases such as Leptospirosis, brucellosis, and pseudo-rabies.”

The impact that hogs have in deer are not only noticeable, but very significant. When the pigs are not actively preying on deer, they compete with them for food and space while at the same time, they also degrade their habitat. All around, hogs are having a greater impact on deer than experts previously expected. Unlike deer, hogs are highly adaptable and can also breed very quickly. If you ever wondered just how feral pigs have managed to become such a nuisance, keep in mind that a single sow can produce an average of 12 piglets every year. At this rate, biologists propose that 75 percent of the total swine population must be harvested every year to maintain a stable number of pigs.

That is a lot of bacon.

Def not a javelin but doesn't look right for a feral pig either. Look at the top right corner of the photo. WTF is that?

That Is an Indian boar or andamanese pig and that is a chital deer or axis deer. Photo was takin in India or Shri Lanka, amazing what people believe or is published on the internet, bad thing is that multiple outdoor sites have made comments on that and believe it's from their state and it's not even from this continent lol.

Thanks, that makes the most sense. Never seen a hog quite like that one.

I was wondering how long it would take say that. When I saw it I googled pigs around the world, and found the pic I posted, pretty sure the pic came from around India.

Yah I knew it was some sort of jungle pig, and googled chital deer and looked up their home range, India, then googled Indian pigs and there you go, very simple. Just a bummer that any sort of credited outdoor source would publish an article about it. Pretty much de credits anything they say when they write an article about a picture and animal that lives 8,000 miles away and say it was there, but whatever

Ok, but the OP's post wasn't about where the picture was taken, it was simply to show that hogs can and will eat your fawns. I can't say one way or the other as to whether that fawn was deceased before the hog picked it up, but it sure looks fresh. It would be fairly easy for a couple pigs to sneak up on or ambush a small fawn left in the tall grass by its mother who could be 250 yards away

Still not relevant, you can't compare one specie and how theve adapted to live 8,000 miles away to another, that's not how adaptation or evolution works. Each specie acts and reacts to different scenarios according to their habitat. I never said a pig wouldn't take a fawn or anything about what the op said, I simply referred to the unitelligence of the outdoors site that published the article
