Good move by Governor Perry.
As close as it gets to when pigs fly.
(Pig-hide!)
I bet there is money to be made creating a video game that allows folks without the dough to rid the state of feral hogs in virtual reality. Coming soon - a reality show on the Discovery Channel. “Hog Wars.”
Eaker, this one has your name written all over it!!!!
Flying Machines, High Powered Rifles, and Hog Meat.
LOL
MMMmmm, bacon.....
I was stunned to learn that there are approximately 2 MILLION feral hogs in Texas, with a large number of them around the Ft Worth/Granbury area. They’re incredibly destructive and mighty tasty - great combo!
Wrong gun!
.223 is too light, should be .308, 30-06, 8mm, etc.
Get Mike Dillon to send over some mini-guns.
M-60’s, ANM2’s, 1919’s, stop messing around if you truly want to reduce the population of porcine vermin.
Is it really a ‘hunt’, when you do it from a helo?
HAWG WILD! ! !
Down in the Swamp of Socialism (AKA “The Everglades”), the Armed and Rangerous almost went full Hawg Wild. Assorted, sordid, ParcPersons found a new taxpayer supplied trough into which they stuck their snouts. This trough is labelled “Exotic Species Control”. It is exotic, but no species are really controlled - least of all Ranger Randy’s behavior.
The helicopter borne gunner had managed to wound a large sow, but she made it into a hammock. Having more fuel and ammo than brains, they brought the airborne PigMobile Gunship to a hover in a small clear space in the dwarf cypress. Said clear spot was alongside the hammock (tree island). That’s when it happened, as the sow decided to out go in a cloud of glory, and charged. She bit the skid, and managed to push hard enough to where ParcMan heard the horrid sound of tail rotor blades chopping dwarf cypress branches.
Allow me to here inform those unfamiliar with dwarf cypress that these trees are less than 20 feet high, with scrawny branches.
The trunk is made of stouter stuff, stout enough to destroy the tail rotor. If that happened, the situation which would occur is known to pilots as “Screwing the pooch.”. That means one has left in an expensive plane and returned without it. It is not a career building moment.
That is what scared the stuffing out of the Rambo wannabe’s in their ‘Death from above’ Pig Terminator. Ranger Randy was nearly exterminated by a wild sow.
SOUEEEEEEE!
As in all cases of ‘single species management’ letting goobers in a gooberment agency do anything not specifically authorized in the Constitution is a bad idea. It’s also unconstitutional.
Nice that Texas allows the citizens to deal with their own problems and doesn’t put regulatory barriers in the way of non-goober based ideas.
When I saw the title, I thought this was another “Newt for President” thread!
Kill’em! Kill’em All!
Dozens Of Donkeys Killed At Texas State Park For Being Threat To Ecosystem

C'mon Rick, if those pigs are such a big problem make it open season on them. Trying to make a buck out of the issue just stinks.
