I've had wild boar steaks in Germany, and I prefer it to regular pork. It has a gamy taste, sort of like venison.
Declare them year around varmints. Subject to anytime shooting by anyone, no hunting license of any kind needed.
Anyway, when the economy collapses, they will gone within a year. That’s what happened to whitetail in the 1930s.
Sometimes. Problem is feral hog meat is nasty unless you put the time in to prepare it properly. He usually just cremates them for sanitary reasons.
Phil Garner, World Series champion MLB baseball manager (Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Brewers, Houston Astros) said about making excuses for setbacks and just going ahead anyway:
“No matter how big the hog is, you’d better bring home the bacon.”🐷
Garner’s nickname was Scrapiron.
“Open season, no limit.”
Already there.
Power over boars comes from the barrel of a gun.
For you hotheads out there who bore easily, make sure you are checking the spelling of boar before you take to the gun solution.
I thought feral hog ribs are on the lean side.
The Sows and piglets are pretty good, the boars, are not so good.
“The way the traps work is that they’re larger,” said Dickey. “They're made up of 12, eight-foot wide metal panels. But at the bottom of them, the holes are smaller so that the piglets can slip through.”
Am I understanding this correctly? The traps used by this guy actually allow the piglets to escape? If so, that makes no sense at all, other than to guarantee future business. Unless I'm missing something???
As long as they don’t hunt them with ARs. Because no one ever hunts with an AR. The AR is too powerful, and would destroy every speck of meat on the animal. Or at least that is what I am lead to believe by the MSM.
Why would you want a modular rifle system that can conform to almost anybody’s ergonomics and recoil tolerance, be set up to fire a range of calibers (including some great hog-stomping ones), and be configured with optics for both day and night hunting?
My understanding is Texas has already either actually or essentially done that.
You are understanding it absolutely correctly. You aren't missing anything.
All Right! An article by Nick! Glad you’re back at “work” for us.
More importantly, “WASHINGTON DC Has a Feral Hog Problem. Can We fix It?”
If wild pigs are the problem and they breed fast, why let the piglets escape?
I’d rather we had feral pigs in Congress.
Why are piglets not killed?
Texas does not have a limit on killing feral hogs.
Most of Texas is private land. Most of the hogs are on private land.
The landowners will allow you to shoot the feral hogs, for a fee. When you pay a minimum of $50 to shoot a pig, you do not shoot very many of them.
Move them all to the border and start shooting the illegals with barbeque sauce guns?
My advice to Texans is to stop killing the predators of these wild pigs, for example coyotes and wild cats.
The answer is to import some angry birds from Finland. They hate pigs.
