Bracken: Trapping Feral Pigs and Other Parables of Modern Life
Western Shooters Association ^ | 10-24-12 | Matt Bracken (Travis Mcgee)

So how do the pros trap entire feral pig herds, eliminating them all, from granddads to piglets, in one go?

They feed them, most generously. They kill them with kindness. -----------------------------------------------

From #8

The moral of the story: The guy who is starving you may sincerely be trying to feed you, but his best efforts might not be enough. In the end, if you are penned in, you can be killed by simple starvation and neglect, requiring no directly malign intention by your captors. Starvation just happens naturally when insufficient food is coming into the enclosure.

By the way I google-de-doodled and found that a group of turkeys is not a herd, it’s a “rafter” or occasionally a “gang”. Just thought the little factoid might be interesting.

Definitely not as cool as the imagery that a Murder of Crows brings forth.

Great article, not nearly simple enough for the sheeple to understand. Then again, the non-sheeple will benefit from knowing what they don’t when survival is at stake.

A very thought provoking article from Matt Bracken. Thanks, Matt. I second his “hat tip” to the book “The Black Swan”. Not an easy read, but the ideas contained therein will stay with you and make you look at the world a little differently. Don’t be a turkey.....

I thought a group of turkeys was a flock.
