Well, I'm certainly willing to do my part to solve the problem... one succulent morsel at a time.

Them ain’t hogs. They’s muslim repellent.
not gonna say a word!
This is an opportunity: hogs and asteroids. Both can be exploited in these situations.
The hogs hunted down, killed, and eaten. It’s easy.
The next one ain’t so easy. The asteroids can be hunted down, too. Then mined and smelted (by robots), the valuable metal returned to the moon for manufacturing. This is the Third Industrial Revolution I’m talking about here, the path to U.S. future success.
One average-sized near earth asteroid that contains platinum-group metals is equal in value to the entire Global economic output for one year!

I’ve got a couple of cousins who own a 2K acre
ranch in the NorCal coastal range. One of them
told me he watched from a distance as a group
of wild pigs were feeding on one side of a cow
carcass while coyotes were feeding on the other
side. Sounded like something you would see on
a Discovery Channel program set in Africa.
As an avid hunter, I always get a kick out of folks who whine about being overrun by wild hogs. If they let you hunt them at all, they charge a hefty fee for the opportunity to rid them of a problem. About 40 miles from me is a huge area where you can do unguided day hunts for about $300.
Saw two dead this morning down in Aransas Pass. I hit a deer a couple years back and it did $4500.00 worth of damage to my truck. Hate to see what damage one of these big pigs do.
Oddly enough, central Europe is also being overrun by boars.
“Germany’s hunter’s association disclosed earlier this month, that it’s total bag during the 2007- 2008 wild boar shooting season had reached 477,000 - an increase of 66 percent over the previous season and a post-war record.”
I blame Al Gore. Those are his people. The swinish boars, that is.
My lord. Speaking as an Alaskan, this problem is as easy to solve as pulling a trigger on a .30-06 and serving up the chops. The same goes for those pesky white-tailed deer and turkeys and Canada geese back east, too, although a .22 would probably be better with the birds. LOL
That’s FOOD out there. Eat up.
If they supply the ammo I’d be happy to help them with this problem. I love shooting hogs, they are the only animal I kill purely for the fun of it.
I just saw a plague of Horned Frogs in Pasadena.
We used to live out in the country outside Franklin, TN years ago. On the way in to town, there was a field that evidently had been a home site years before, with daffodil bulbs in the yard. There was then a bunch of hogs in the field, and the bulbs had been spread and divided over the years. Every year, there were more and more daffodils blooming in the field. Haven’t seen the field in many years, but wonder if it still blooms like that.
