Hogs are going wild all over the country. We have them on our place in Texas. Very sneaky and nocturnal, we never saw them until we put out game cameras. Shocking how many are there.
I suggest something in .300 Whisper with suppressor and night sighting.Wild hog is a fine meal.
These hogs are dangerous period, never mind the pets and small children. They are mean and hungry.
We saw Javelina just a few blocks from us here in Phx, prob came from Camelback Mtn, but running down the street. They are big as medium sized dogs.
Sounds a lot like the same problem we have with illegals - No one in authority wants to do anything about them.
I read somewhere that farmers who wanted to open up new fields (long ago) used to just put hogs in the area. They would act like tractors and just churn up the whole area, sweet as you please. Then, the next year, the farmer has a new field ready to go, and the hogs are moved over to the lot next door (so to speak).
In Tennessee they allow 12 month hunting of them in the state parks. They eat everything, they have no predators and are destroying thousands of acres.
Fire at will. Drop them. Cook them. Eat them.
Cook well, could have trichinosis.
Growing up in Florida, we hunted hogs with shotgun and bow. You used to be able to walk out in the woods and palmetto scrub just about anywhere and hunt. Now a lot of that land is nature conservancy ( espicially in brevard and indian river county just north of vero) and you can’t hunt it. Once again the eco freaks screw up.
Remember the story about the old farmer in Georgia who solved the wild hog problem by building a fence, throwing out some corn over a period of time, and then, one day he closed the gate, and voila, problem solved--much the same way that the redistributionists pass out the goodies until they have the voting public corraled and dependent upon them.
But those hogs are indigenous residents of America, surely eligible for the same tender considerations as are those thousands of wild horses, each one entitled to live a long life, well fed and free to roam. We humans have invaded their space. Yeah, Yeah, I know that horses had disappeared long ago from what we call Norte America, and were returned by the Spanish explorers, but that’s just a minor detail.
Wild hogs are probably less of a nocturnal nuisance in SW Vero Beach than mosquitoes.
The biker problem is really getting out of hand all over the country, Not just Vero Beach.
I don't get this letting wildlife run rampant.
Unlike illegal aliens or Muslims, hogs can be eaten. If people are too p**** to eat edible invaders, they deserve what nature deals out.
Every state and county park and forest I travelled through in the east coast of the Central Florida region was completely rutted out by hogs.
Everything, everywhere, all of it except the most barren sand wastelands.
