Strangest State: 18-Hole Hog, Spike the Poodle’s Big Adventure, and Fowl News

SAN ANTONIO // A 400-pound feral hog roamed free on a South San Antonio golf course—until management called in the big guns. Wyatt Walton is co-owner of Lone Star Trapping, which bills itself as “the #1 feral hog removal company in Texas.” He posted photos of the massive catch on Facebook and later told Insider that though most hogs can be captured with cameras and electronic traps, this one was so smart that two assistants and three dogs were needed to corner it. “I’m just a guy in the middle of the woods catching pigs,” Walton added.

CEDAR PARK // After a city council member ranted online about witches and Satanists, a local coven held a peaceful protest. “My prayers and intercession against the witches and satan worshipers begins at 3 a.m. on this full moon of Friday the 13th,” Cedar Park City Council member Tim Kelly wrote on Facebook. “The power that is in the shed blood of Jesus the Christ trumps your soul stealing sorcery.” In response, about 30 members of the Coven of the Corvid hosted a “peace ritual” in a city park, reports Hill Country News. There was also a Christian counterprotest, in which about 10 people prayed and “blew ram’s horns throughout the entirety of the event.”
