Never got to hunt wild boar. Always wanted to.

This guy at the range today was telling me that wild boars breed like crazy, and the females have several litters a year ....

Gansowski said a lack of funding was the biggest obstacle to preventing the population from exploding.

What's to fund? Hunters could take care of that problem.

Capture and release, in Iran.

Target rich environment! ☺

I’ve heard they taste great! Seriously. They need to simply open season on them everywhere.

I’ve been told javalinas taste lousy and stink something terrible.

Grab yourself a cup of coffee or something stronger and read thru this thread.

This is what you call hog hunting.

Texas style- whack ‘em, stack ‘em, no limit 24/7/365.

I once encountered a large area on Gregory Bald, high in the Great Smoky Mts. Nat. Park, where the sod had been completely demolished, as if it had been turned over with a rototiller. The rangers told me that wild boars did that by rooting in the soil.

Getting chased and harassed by wild boars is just another in the long list of things we’re expected to put up with in order to “protect the environment.”

I have many times in Texas.....Don’t miss and drop them with the first shot. They tend to get a lil pissed when just nicked and of course they just love to get you close to them. Very up close and personal...they love it lol

> as many as a couple of hundred are roaming the state,

They'd better track and kill them quickly, or that number will be "as many as a few thousand" in a year or two.....

“Their skulls are so thick in the front, if you don’t happen to hit it at a perfect 90 degrees, with the way their heads have that kind of curved shape, the bullet will glance right off,”

Then don’t shoot them in the head. See if bullets bounce off their lungs.

Not buying this anyway. With a 22 maybe.

“Armed with a $230,000 grant from the Invasive Species Council of New York, the USDA last year sought to get a handle on the growing wild boar problem.”

Pay $20 or $50 to hunters and see how fast they disappear.

Over a year ago, on one of the main highways here, someone hit a black hog and it died right next to the road looking like it was sleeping with it’s head resting upright. It is still recognizable, even after all the heat we’ve had here. I pass by there almost every day and have never seen a buzzard on it once.

Quick, someone send a truckload of truffles to Albany!
