Guns, Helicopters, And Now Explosives. Heat Street and our partners at Free Media recently took a trip down south to see how Texans are dealing with their feral pig problem. There are currently more than 6 million wild hogs on the loose in America tearing up crops and infecting waterways. With $1.5 million in damages each year, Texans are free to use almost anything to eradicate the pigs, including blowing them up.
The product of choice is Tannerite a binary explosive you can pick up from your local outdoors store for $7.99 (single pack). Watch us hang out with Matt Barnett, a federally-licensed explosives expert. He uses something a little stronger.

How good of eating are those feral hogs as compared to farm raised hogs?
For a moment there thot it said HILLARY infestation...
bkmk.
The video states the feral pigs carry a lot of parasites and disease so sounds like a no go.
Boars not so much. Sows excellent! We usually roast’em over oak. Mighty fine!

I have always thought the the ultimate solution would be to capture them, if possible, and relocate them in Afghanistan and Iraq. Or, in any other country that is Muslim and our enemy.
“Acid is groovy. Kill the pigs!”
(supposedly heard by Jeffery MacDonald the night he slaughtered his family)

You might be a true-blooded American if your first thought is “Yeah, but can I BBQ it?”.
:D
And, to be clear, when I say Pit Bull, I'm not talking about the white rap artist. Rap-ist?
OMG. I can't believe I even know who the hell Pit Bull is.
Double-OMG. I can't believe I said OMG. Twice.
[Double-OMG. I can’t believe I said OMG. Twice.]
MERRIAM WEBSTER Definition of OMG: oh my God
What GOD says about OMG:
7 You must not misuse the name of the LORD your GOD. The Lord will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name. EXODUS 20:7
“You might be a true-blooded American if your first thought is Yeah, but can I BBQ it?.” You bet. Actually, I’ve been wanting to take my AR-10 .308 rifle to Texas and hunt one of those hogs. You can’t hunt with high power rifles in Indiana. But I have a rule about not hunting anything I don’t intend to eat. I have nothing against others that are into sport or trophy hunting but it’s just not for me.
So. It's going to be one of THOSE days.
Capture and release them around Mosques here in the USA.

Rule # 1 that our dad taught us: Don’t point your gun at anything you don’t intend to kill and/or eat.
I understand the sentiment, but unfortunately once the hogs have “corrected” that problem, you’ll still have a bunch of feral hogs running around, and they’d now be in all kinds of areas they aren’t currently. There are less destructive ways to solve the problem you’re referring to.
It’s legal to hunt feral pigs anywhere and anytime in Virginia. So the local hillbillies over in Bland County buy baby pigs at the market in the spring and release them near the national forest. Then they hunt them in the fall. They take their boys with them, roast pig and drink bourbon after the hunt.
