People around here have been releasing pigs into the national forest so they can be hunted.

Rather than killing the hogs. I have a solution. Capture them and then plant them in Iran, Iraq, Afganistan and any other obnoxious Islamic country.

Hogs in Florida are a particularly attractive prey animal in that any “tactical” rig can be used to hunt them. No limits on magazine capacity.

This allows the hobbyist to “shakedown” their rig in real world conditions.

What a stupid idea. *rme* Would you pay for it with your own money? Do you really think Hunters are killing wild pigs just for fun? You obviously never had a wild pig roast. You don't know what you missed

I remember many many years ago when I was still a child my dad took us to a restaurant for Sunday dinner and we had a wild pig roast. Talk about delicious

"My all-around favorite hog caliber is probably the .308 Win. … lots of knockdown power–and great range."

That's my favorite caliber period. Cheap (relatively for a 30 cal. round), plentiful, powerful and good range. I'll take a .308 over a .223 any day of the week.

“Invasive critters ranging from wild boars to constrictor snakes are taking over America.”

Tell me about it. There’s a poisonous snake from Kenya that has even taken up residence in the White House.

They are so destructive on farmland. I know folks that would probably shoot someone intentionally releasing more.

exas AgriLife Extension Service estimates that statewide annual economic damage caused by feral hogs is $500 million.

Heck in Texas they pay extra to shoot them out of helicopters.
