They could have hunters pay to hunt these pigs, instead California pays people to hunt them.

Just enlist a few country boys with crossbows. Silent death. No hand wringing from the metrosexuals.

“Wild Pigs Destroying Parks in South Monterey County”

Make them wear Body Cams and FIRE the ones who are causing the trouble.

Few hunters with silencers and Thermal scopes.

The original pigs (boars) were brought in to be hunted also.

They’re so helpless they can’t even think for themselves

They can’t even handle wild boars but want us to entrust them to run the government and manage our tax money

Did you know that the door gunner was originally cast as Gunnery Sgt. Hartman?

The problem are the locations. Pigs are in an area where people are live, playing sports, and boating.

California has one of the better hunting regulations when it comes to pigs. You need a hunting license with wild pig. There are no daily limits and it’s open season year round.

I’m sure more than a few experienced Texans would be glad to deal with this problem fairly swiftly.

We now have feral hogs that have traveled north into Minnesota due to climate change.

Well, if the economy keeps going the way it is, the feral hog population will be solved without any problem.

They are, after all, food.

I escaped Kali over thirty years ago.
This was a problem back then.
What really annoys Monterrey residents is when the pigs tear up the golf courses.
The refrain has always been, “Do something about the wild pigs, BUT DON’T HURT THEM!”

The answer is a bounty allowing archery or cross-bows.
And be careful wondering around in Kali parks as certain Immigrant groups are fond of setting up Punji Pits in them.

I read an article by a wildlife biologist that stated you have to cull 70% of the herd annually just to keep it level. They really breed fast!

“I’m sure more than a few experienced Texans would be glad to deal with this problem fairly swiftly.”

Occasionally I have some on my land West of Salado, Texas but just by evidence of them rooting. Not a problem yet. If they become a problem, I will build a wild pig trap and just simply trap and kill them. The big ones will be left for the buzzards, they do not taste good. The small ones will become excellent sausage.

We don’t have them here and so I don’t hunt them, but I have read quite a bit about hunting them.

The most impressive story I read was by a TX farmer that built a corral type enclosure with a gate that would allow entry but not exit. In the center they put corn soaked in diesel fuel. They said that soaking it in diesel caused the hogs to crave it, almost like bears go after honey.

The writer was a woman, by the way, and she said that they caught 148 in a very short time. I don’t remember the time frame.

There are also some outstanding videos on the internet of hunters shooting them at night with AR-10’s and AR-15’s with IR scopes.

At night from elevated blinds over bait.
