Big Boars and old Sows are more trouble than their worth. Now a 50 to 60 pounder is some damn fine eating. Shot 4 Friday afternoon and they were spoken for before I could get them in the truck.
Management of Wild Pigs......................
Best to institute more qualified hunters and allow for full auto during Hog Hunts...

The Old Testament version of charity was you left gleanings in the field. You didn’t harvest it for them, process it, cooks and bring it too them. Well maybe to helpless widows and orphans. But NOT the lazy and fools.
Folks, these are gleanings in the field for migrants. Teach them how to hunt, property rights.
They will fix the problem.
The Tulsa World Sunday Magazine, sixty years ago, used to have a cartoon about early American life and it mentioned how the Indians, when on a raid, often ate the pork of the settlers they had attacked.
A magazine published about Arkansas, about 20 years ago had a great article on hog proliferation in Arkansas, from the first explorers who had some escape, till they found, on their return, the Indian tribes having problems with pigs destroying their crops.
In other news, the Mandans had a problem with a new creature undermining their homes, the RAT.
I forgot to mention, wild hogs today in Arkansas are shot and left to rot. Most now have Psudorabies.
Initiate Operation Feral Cowboy: Park a transport plane at an area known for feral hogs and leave a trail of corn into the transport plane; when it is full close the door and fly Porky and friends to Israel then offload Porky and Co. in Gaza then stampede them into the tunnels.
If nothing else this little exercise would make the Israelis laugh and that would drive the muzzies absolutely insane.
(I didn’t think this up; another poster did but it was so hilarious that I had to share it with everybody.)
I own a ranch in central-west Texas (near Brownwood) and they’ve been there for years. I wonder if they got more prolific after cross-breeding with domestics.
No historical proof of your statement.
“They will fix the problem.”
No bag limit, lots of people baiting them, trapping them, hunting them from planes, etc. They have outproduced all efforts.
For the record ... they have feral hogs in Florida. And Alabama. And Mississippi. And Louisiana. And Georgia. And South Carolina. Not sure about North Carolina ...
IOW, wall to walk hogs in the Southeast.
The Florida hogs seem to be ignoring all that fresh python meat just slithering thru the swamps.
We are going to see a lot of crash and burn in 2024. This is a HOA, set back and enjoy the show because they won’t like your suggestions.
Are the pythons ignoring all that fresh pork rooting around? The predation might very well go both ways.
We got the same problem where we live. And you’re not allowed to shoot them.
let’s pull a 1800’s and import some apex predators to fix the hog issue.... say komodo dragons?
‘
but i jest, i think we should hunt them and and open a all you can eat boar bbq buffet, *guarantee* no boar taint by just serving female hogs.
In Florida it’s open Season on wild hogs all year.
All you need is written permission from any landowners whose property is involved, if not your own, or if Public Property, like a Wildlife Management Area, registration from the local offices..............
Mexico consumes a LOT of pork. Since wild hogs are edible, if a bit gamy, there could be a pipeline of sorts of live hogs going to great stockyards and slaughterhouses down there.
Gonna need lots of BBQ sauce!.......................
