The DC feral hogs are worse.
Yep, gotta watch them politicians in Virginia. Running wild they are.
why can’t folks just shoot them and eat them?
Why do you hate Aaron Applegate?
Trapping? Just make it open season for hunting them or even put a bounty on them. Not only would it thin the herd but most hunters I know donate the meat they can't eat to charity and homeless shelters. It would be a win-win situation.
Mr. Mercat and I stumbled onto a wonderful heritage park in Ireland which was reverse breading animals to make them like the ones the Irish raised hundreds of years ago. The boars were fascinating. Their babies looked just like adorable little domesticated piglets. But the adults were huge and terrifying. And they are smart, smarter than dogs. This park also had sheep that had been regressed (is that a word?). Instead of shearing, they plucked the wool. Interesting side note - boar meat is not considered to be pork and is therefore a mean that Muslims will eat... I don’t know about Jews.
Wild Boar served German Style with a dark sauce is one of my favorites. They should be harvested and used for food - or in care packages to the Palestinians and Iranians.
People release them into the National Forest here because there is no pig season. You can hunt them anytime.
I first read the title as “Federal Hogs Running Wild”. The bad part is I wasn’t surprised.

At the hunting club we shoot them. There is no closed season, no limit, and it is good practice. I have killed 100 or more in a single year. What I don’t keep I donate to the people who live nearby.
Why not feed the hogs something that will sterilize them - to slow down the breeding?
Herd ‘em to the governor’s mansion.
