“no coydog that ever lived could take a wild boar.”
Probably true, but a couple of coyotes can certainly harrass and fake out a sow enough to steal small piglets and cut down on their reproduction rate...
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand that “coydogs” are hydrid coyote/dog offspring and can be unusually large and fierce enough to endanger humans. Those could be a real threat to feral hogs.

That’s in New York City. Upstate New York is a different story. Think West VA. or Alabama.
I can not tell a lie,
A few years back I captured a couple of wild Florida pigs and took them to upstate N.Y. and set the buggers loose.
Figured I’d pay N.Y. back for all the pigs they send here for spring break.
Loose Lips....
Nice tag, btw...
We now have a hunting season on black bears...and they will more than likely be up where I am...within a few years too.
“That’s in New York City. Upstate New York is a different story. Think West VA. or Alabama.”
Yeah, I thought that even as I wrote my little quip, but was wondering if the wild boars know that.
If the state doesn’t get ridiculous about seasons and tags, it should be fun hunting for all.
I know this thread is quite old but I wanted to save a whole new vanity. I’m thinking of going wild boar hunting here in Florida. Would be my first hunt. I’m wondering if a Savage Axis 30-06 with Winchester SuperX 150gr Power-Point would be a good combination.
Oh, my. Sounds dangerous. Maybe the fencing club can do a humane capture and release, and put rubber fencing tips on those things. En Garde! You'll never take Gotham, you ... you porcine interlopers!
