Kill the pigs

Kill the pigs

There are times when Americans must take a stand against growing threats of abuse, property destruction and public safety, and according to NBC’s TODAY show Friday morning, this may be one of those times when citizens with guns can step forward and make a difference.

Hey, I was on a rolll and having fun with this.

If you wee watching, one of the guys actually suggested that armed citizens might offer a solution and the woman kind of nodded but then it occurred to her what he was talking about and she broke a speed record switching to another subject.

They are open season in places like texas and they are hunted 24/7 and they cant kill them out. If they took up roots here it would be the same way.

No.  Wild pigs have different strains.  Most are from escaped domestics, but the real bad boys are the ones that escaped from hunting clubs--the Russian boars.  The domestics have a shorter snout, curly tail and lighter fur.  The Russians have long snouts that can plow through deep snow and roots, thick fur suited for Siberia, and straight tails.  They're good to really low temps, probably 60 below.

their reproductive capabilities are better than most critters....when people say breed like rabbits they should say breed like hogs :)

Many states are not really serious about controlling them.  The average pig on private ground in California would cost a Wa resident more than $400 dollars.  Texas probably more for pay hunts.  Wa probably will not have a problem with the average feral pig, they get loose all the time, tough habitat for a average pig.  The Russians would certainly make it but who would spend the money and the legal risks introducing them?  The canned hunts you read about in Wa are usually cull domestics.  A feed bucket would be the most effective weapon.
The only native pig type critter is the javelina.  Very different than a duroc/Poland cross tipping the scales at 1000 plus.

Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.

A duroc is the brown or red breed of domestics.  A poland is a poland china, another black colored domestic breed.  Cull breeding boars are often huge, remember 'hogzilla', a big old domestic crossbred.

Pigs can certainly survive here and if introduced would. It is not so much the reproductive rate as the survival rate that give pigs the edge. Not many predators for pig larger that 50 lbs. If ferrel pigs ever got a good hold here they would always be here. Destroying the forests, creeks, river beds, ripping up fences, damaging all the things that we as hunters need to keep what is left of or game herds alive. I suppose post wolf days may be a good time for an introduction but I suspect wolves could take down a few pigs as well  :chuckle:.

Well they sure look like alot of fun to hunt. I would imagine if we had them here, we could probably have someting other than coons to hunt with hounds again. Im assuming they would be considered a nuisance and invasive. I think it sounds liie great fun.
