Capture the wild pigs and release them in front of Mosques. Or herd them in during prayers.

It depends on what they've been eating.

West Texas hogs eat rocks and cactus and taste like crap.

River bottom hogs eat acorns and roots and taste pretty dang fine.

Meat in the freezer and a $5 bounty to cover expenses, not a bad deal.

“One hog can become 200 over the course of two years,”

I think he meant “2 hogs can become...” unless they’re reproducing asexually.

Some co-workers make annual trips to hunt hogs in Texas - they tell me their too lean and mean to have bacon bellies.

No Bacon Bellies?

Well then, they are useless pigs.

I have, for years, advocated capturing these critters and shipping them to Afghanistan and Iraq and we would have a chance of taming those Islamics.

VERY good pork. Seriously. Go for a younger one, not a hogzilla. Oh hell, shoot both! But roasted in a pit, made into hams, stewed into tamale meat, made into sausage, pork chops, etc.

And free, all you can shoot. Fill your freezer. Trade with the local Mexicans. Texas caribou.

Help me out here. I thought it took two hogs to tango.

Younger hogs taste better than older hogs.

Last I heard, the in thing was to hunt them with trained dogs and spears.

And a handgun, just in case.....
