Sooie!!! When I first saw this I was afraid that they'd had an influx of Harleys from Tail of the Dragon!

I think they need to round them all up and send them to Washington, there is a lot of slop, pork, Congress probably could use a bit more.

As long as your supply of deer slugs and mesquite charcoal holds up, I don’t see the problem.

Seems someone brought in some Siberian wild hogs to breed with ours - and since those hogs are like African bees or kudzu - they’re spreading... everywhere.

"Since hunting isn't allowed in the Smokies, the park employs a seasonal hog control team that keeps the population in check through hunting and trapping."It simply amazes me that the government hasn't figured out that hunters will PAY for the privilege of controlling the population. But nooooooo ...

"Since hunting isn't allowed in the Smokies, the park employs a seasonal hog control team that keeps the population in check through hunting and trapping."That's right. They outlawed citizen hunters, then used tax money to hire bureaucrat hunters. Is there any retarded thing a Marxist won't do?

Close the park to tourists for 3 weeks and open it up to hunters.
Repeat as necessary

Why can’t we introduce this feral species of hogs in to all large muslim nations? In my dreams I see millions of these hogs decimating poppy fields and wreaking havoc in Afghanistan.
To: Enchante
The best control for hogs is bullet plants. I think specifically the 7.62 X 51mm plant, but you should ask a botanist I could be wrong. Might be the 30-06 plant not sure.

All I hunt anymore are deer (got a 200 pound doe 2 weeks ago) and Wild hog would be a welcome addition to my larder.
Share your sausage recipe, please.

Since hunting isn't allowed in the Smokies, And there's the problem right there.
To: NCjim
A ‘declared’ hunting season to thin out the population is necessary. See? Humans do have a function (shhhhhh don’t tell the gorebots)
