America is facing 'time-bomb' explosion of millions of 'super pigs' that can reproduce at just three months old, grow up to 400lbs and destroy thousands of square miles of farms and livestock

Most consider them very good eating if they are still under 100 pounds.

Organized drives and hunts are the only way to try to slow them down, imo. I’ve seen the damage they can do on our old family place in central-west Texas.

They dug trenches 2 feet deep overnight there.

I hear they taste like chicken.

They should allow them to kill as many as they can.
Maybe donate some meat to the needy.
Help two problems at the same time.

Would appear they are castrating before releasing the boars.

“The solution is simple. Year round hunting season. No bag limit.”

That’s been the case in Texas for some time. They are still increasing in numbers.

Ted Nugent hunts them from a helicopter with a FA rifle.
I’m in.

There’s no limit on them. Years ago, one county tried a $20 bounty, bring in an ear. They ran out of money in about a month and had to close the program.

LOL, motivation helps. :)

Eat more pork.

Break out the AR’s and head to TX.

I like the pigs that eat buckeyes. Interesting flavor in the meat.

Is this satire? They're talking about democRATs, yes?

If not, then take the cuffs off hunters. In my state, one has to file for permits to hunt at night, etc.

They need to get all the males to reduce if herds if they are going to castrate.

It’s the females they need to kill off.

AR-15 - The right tool at the right time...

They escape from corporate pig farms around here. They go feral in very short order.

One of our younger male relatives, is an incredible archery hunter.

He has harvested Elk, Deer, wild turkey and wild pigs with his hunting skills and new age archery gear.

After his last kid finishes college in a few years, he would like to take early retirement and become a professional, so called wild pig hunter.

He and we have some friends who would hire him now with new pig invasions tearing up gardens, yards and just the grounds.

Are they edible?

OPEN SEASON!
