Hey, buzzards and bugs gotta eat, too. What do you have against them?

“You are allowed to run them over in your car.”


Allowed? Yeah.

Recommended? Not so much. Hitting a 250 lb. deer is bad enough, try hitting a 400 or 600 lb. hog. No thanks, I kind of like my car - and my health. Shooting is JUST FINE.

BTW, lots of guys are getting .300 Blackout uppers for their ARs, and then getting suppressors and night vision scopes. REALLY devastating - the hogs don’t figure out that you’re shooting their buddies so they stay grouped up, and they don’t expect it at night. FYI, hogs also can’t see in green, so lots of guys use very intense green lights at night to see them (if they don’t have the rather expensive night vision sights).

There is nothing wrong with killing pestilential animals.

‘There is nothing wrong with killing pestilential animals.”
==
Didn’t mean to imply there was and they’s more than a few dead junkyard rats that’ll attest to that. But I’m not the hunter in the family, the younger bro is. Me, I go to a steak house.

I was doing you a favor. I stopped using the term when I found what it meant.

Anywhere, and I mean anywhere on the East side of Texas. I hunt the family farm mostly. Public lands are good, especially the E. Texas Nat. Forests. Corps of Engineer lakes offer hunting (Bardwell, Benbrook, Grapevine).

I have seen sounders running through the sand pits while driving 20 through s. Dallas County. I have seen them running next to the river in Dallas. Anywhere there is ample water supply, there will be hogs.

The only wild hog meat I have ever tasted was a big old boar! It was over 30 years ago and I can still taste it on my tongue. Gad it was awful!

They are nuisance animals like coyotes. They do terrible damage here in the South. We shoot them 24/7. We are not talking about killing the last white buffalo here.

My first thought too! I buy from a local farmer Heritage Hog pork, https://m.facebook.com/386308044799419/photos/a.387119478051609.85244.386308044799419/1084426521654231/?type=3&source=48

The hogs would rip any number of pitbulls to pieces and eat em alive. Dogs are nothing against hogs.

Fortunately I haven’t seen any this year, the last 2 years wild hogs half destroyed my garden. ate all the corn down to nubs, I think they got into the cantaloupes, ate half the other plants...

I found tracks a few times and spooked 3 in the back yard coming back from a neighbor’s house just at dark one day, I’m not sure if they didn’t spook me more.

This year no sign of them, last year I watched 3 cross the road a few blocks up, saw them in that same area 2 or 3 other times. Nuisance is putting it mildly. Oh, and I watched 2 swim across the lake 3 year ago too.

I try to always avoid pork of any kind, there’s a reason the Bible says do not eat the flesh of the pig and it’s not a religious one. Pigs are scavengers, carry a number of diseases and parasites, and their digestive system does not eliminate toxins like most animals do by sweating.

That is literally true. Hogs can be VERY dangerous.
