I remember my rancher uncle in Jim Hogg County (deep south TX - 80 west of Corpus Christi) hitting a javelina with his jeep and just threw it in the back cause the ranch hands would turn it into bacon...Scary riding in the jeep - praying the darn thing WAS dead. My cousin had to whack one twice when he did the same thing - to make SURE it was dead. Shoot the darn things!

Has Ashley Judd signed off on this procedure?

Don’t you just love it when Hollywood Idiots tell us what to do, esp. when these idiots know nothing about wildlife managmement?

Ashley Judd jumped all over Sarah Palin about Alaska’s procedures to control predatory animals.

Ashley may jump over Gov. Rick Perry of Texas because he’s Republican. I wonder if Ashley would say anything if they do this in a blue state with a good Democrat governor???????

When Pigs Fly!,P>I'm with you. Shooting Aerial Wild Pigs has got to be like shooting really big, slow-moving skeet.

Pull!

Durn! Missed him! And he looks angry too. I hope he don't turn and come back and poop on us!

I know the dumbass left is going to see some sort of racist symbolism in this. Wild pigs. Bari’s Porkulus Maximus. This isn’t a coincidence. Rev. Al is going to need a couple cases of “C” batteries for his bullhorn for this one.

The young hogs are tasty and make very fine sausage. These are feral hogs, domesticated hogs that have fled captivity and have reverted to the wild state.
They are a huge nuisance and do considerable damage to pastures and yards as they travel in herds of up to 300 and dig trenches everywhere.

...a birth control pill for female hogs is still in development.

Will they remember to take 'em all? Maybe they need to watch a couple of the birth control commercials that litter the TV to get persuaded.

Excellent news! I hate these destructive feral pigs. The damage they inflict on native wildlife is incalculable. Now if they'd just allow this along the Lower Colorado River, I'd be a very happy man.

Ping.

Not the wild ones, though. I read somewhere else that it's impossible to get the gamey taste out of the wild pig meat.

Its hard to get feral hogs when they are in a thicket.

Bullets deflect. Ariel allows a shot.
Feral hogs are a MAJOR nuisance, and quite dangerous
