I read an article published by a F&G biologist in Oregon that stated you have to reduce the population of wild pigs by 70% annually to maintain a level population. That’s how fast they breed.
I have watched videos of guys in helicopters shooting them from the air.
I would NOT want to tangle with one of those hogs!
For a moment I thought I was reading a modest proposal.
Herd them towards the nearest mosque.
Open season, no limit.
How does feral hog taste compared to domestic hog?
We can’t even control the flood of illegal aliens and we’re supposed to do something about wild pigs now?
Send the Border Patrol to deal with it. They’ve got some free time right now.
Move them down to the border.
You’re BACK! Yahoooo!
I knew things were sluggish around here...just couldn’t pinpoint why.
One of my best friends owns a ranch in Texas. He has two Irish Wolf Hounds. They tear wild boars apart. He also goes out several times a month and is a crack shot. Lot of dead hogs on his land. Well not so much anymore — they’re smart enough to stay away.
Texas also has some good laws on the books about hunting feral hogs.
Declare them year around varmints. Subject to anytime shooting by anyone, no hunting license of any kind needed.
Anyway, when the economy collapses, they will gone within a year. That’s what happened to whitetail in the 1930s.
Power over boars comes from the barrel of a gun.
For you hotheads out there who bore easily, make sure you are checking the spelling of boar before you take to the gun solution.
“The way the traps work is that they’re larger,” said Dickey. “They're made up of 12, eight-foot wide metal panels. But at the bottom of them, the holes are smaller so that the piglets can slip through.”
Am I understanding this correctly? The traps used by this guy actually allow the piglets to escape? If so, that makes no sense at all, other than to guarantee future business. Unless I'm missing something???
As long as they don’t hunt them with ARs. Because no one ever hunts with an AR. The AR is too powerful, and would destroy every speck of meat on the animal. Or at least that is what I am lead to believe by the MSM.
Why would you want a modular rifle system that can conform to almost anybody’s ergonomics and recoil tolerance, be set up to fire a range of calibers (including some great hog-stomping ones), and be configured with optics for both day and night hunting?
All Right! An article by Nick! Glad you’re back at “work” for us.
More importantly, “WASHINGTON DC Has a Feral Hog Problem. Can We fix It?”
Why are piglets not killed?
Move them all to the border and start shooting the illegals with barbeque sauce guns?
My advice to Texans is to stop killing the predators of these wild pigs, for example coyotes and wild cats.
The answer is to import some angry birds from Finland. They hate pigs.
