Good pig.

PERU, N.Y. — They roam by night, picking cornstalks clean, making off with apple crops. They have almost no natural predators, but they have razor-sharp tusks and a seemingly bottomless appetite for plants and animals. Their population can triple in one year.
They are feral pigs, and while they have long plagued parts of the Southern and Western United States, now they have become a problem in the peaceful Champlain Valley of New York, an agricultural heartland on the edge of the Adirondacks.

MASSIVE barbeque!
Tomorrow’s Headline —
“Bloomberg Calls For Ban On Razor-Sharp Tusks”
They’re called “democrats”, thank you. Get GOREd, liberals!
Nope- all we got here is fishers, racoons, possums n squirrels. I think all the coydogs done finished all the porkers off up here.
Holy Javelina Batman...they’re coming toward Gotham!
They should taste pretty good since they are feasting on apples and other goodies.
Gotta have a lisence to shoot ‘em on your own land I guess. New York sux for gun laws.
“advises those with small game licenses to “shoot and keep feral swine at any time and in any number.”
You have some pretty feisty coyotes, then. The javelinas are all over Texas, coyotes or not.
They heard liberals don’t own guns.
Lock up Old Yeller.
“they’re coming toward Gotham!”
The crackheads would take care of ‘em!
Put a bounty on them and they’ll be gone before you know it.
I’ve heard javelinas can be pretty fiesty. Here in Florida the coyotes don’t much bother the wild hogs. The panthers will take them at will but not much else does.
Problem is, some are diseased......not good for ribs: )
They’ve tried that in some southern states, as well as no bag-limits for hunters. It still hasn’t been enough.
I’m told that they are pretty lean.
Snow get pretty deep up there, how do they make a living, wear mink.
Democrat politicians looking for easy money..............
Great area for apple picking...this should make it a little more interesting this fall...
We just thought they were vacationing Manhattanites.
Feral pigs are also endemic in blue states and universities.
The coydogs run in large packs. They take down full size deer here right 50 yards from my front porch. One winter night they ran `round and ``round the house. I counted 18 going by in the moonlight. There are also large wolves here, bigger than a German Shepherd, but these mostly are loners.
None of the hunters here I know has ever even seen a porker anywhere. Just could be they are eating apples. The local apple orchards here 3 miles and 12 miles away don`t have any porkers around coz there are cougars in the area all the time at night going after deer that feed in the cornfields. My house is 60 miles from Peru.
We have some cougars around here...and plenty of deer too.
I see more deer than anything....but the pigs ARE here.
Yeah right!
no coydog that ever lived could take a wild boar.
Yeah, good luck with that.
lol. They are a plague. Don’t ask me how I know. Y’all have my sympathies. No, really, you do.
They are fun to shoot, though.

“Wild boars with razor-sharp tusks”
“They have to drink, don’t they? We will release bull sharks with frikkin’ lasers on their heads into the New York state lakes, rivers and streams. This is why I get paid the big bucks.”

Good pig.
Mesquite woodfire takes care of disease (as does any heat used for cooking) (Greenhorns, sigh)
You know nothing of wild pig. I have been eating on them a long time, dude. Please stop with the misinformation, you make yourself look foolish.
We have hog shoots and smokin’ events in Texas. Yum! Who is going to do that in NY? Wild boars are bad enough, but fortunately, they don’t have rattlers in NY. :)
Our contractor, in Arizona, said that dogs get ripped up by Javelina. I suspect that panthers can hang on their backs while they go after the neck.
We just bought a house on “Javelina Road”. During the escrow period while we could still back out we were standing in the back yard with the Realtor when two javelina came around the side of the house and wandered into the forest behind the house. I told the Realtor that if this house had been on “Grizzly Road” the deal was OFF!
lol
lol
Holy carp! Fire up the godzilla sized barbecue!
Marking for research project
They don’t have a problem here in Md. We love Bacon.
In WNY we call them politicians
I thought Jerry Nadler lost weight...
Exceptionally lean, and fat free too!
A baby just off of the tittie is tender and succulent; and tasty as well! lol! They die easy with a .22 to the head( or a .223, see my page )!
Crockpot tittie pork rocks! With onions, garlic and your choice of sauce!
mm-hmm!
Sounds good to me! I’m thinking use the .223 just in case momma is around and objects.
You have Eastern Cougars that the state fish & game people swear don’t exist? Like they do here in Va.
Thats the best idea, ‘cause you never know...( a .223 )
Nice tagline, btw.
not true - threre is a variant called the pygmy rattler
takes a dozen or so, not one.
SARANAC (and not the lake!)
So, I guess Hillary's back in town, eh?
“Gotta have a lisence to shoot ‘em on your own land I guess.”
Here in NC no license is required 24/7, 365 for feral pigs.
“Nice tagline”
