Northern Japan is raising an alarm, as the area surrounding the Fukushima Nuclear disaster zone has been overwhelmed by radioactive wild boars, whose population has increased dramatically over the past 4 years, as they breed freely in the exclusion zone.
With the number of animals steadily growing, the boar population has been devastating the crops of farms in the area. Since the nuclear disaster of 2011, damage to agriculture caused by boars in the Fukushima prefecture has doubled, amounting to some $15 million, according to a report from The Times. Boars also pose a threat to public safety, as reports of rampaging wild beast injuring local residents while roaming the streets have become more frequent over the past few years.

Probably easiest to hunt them at night - when they glow in the dark...
God that was a funny show! Produced in Canada on a shoestring budget with then-unknown actors.

Know what muslims call Wild Radioactive Boars that breed like rabbits while destroying everything in their path?

Yet another plague.

Would large leg traps work? Or is there a JSPCA?
Maybe a wire pen trap, like they use in Texas? Jaw traps not usually used for herd animals.
Yep. Interesting, isn’t it? There was an ad for it on the inside cover of the hunting magazine she brought to work for me.
That is one butt ugly rifle.
What’s the caliber?
Really? I like it. Reminds me of my old Woodsmaster.
No wonder I hate it. I have a Woodsmaster in 30.06 I’ve been trying to rid myself of for years. LOL.
I can’t give it away.

I know the feeling. But I got my first deer with it so, forgiving. Brake caliper grease on the rails did *reduce* cycling problems.
Every time I fired mine the magazine fell out.
Handy, that.

Need depleted uranium rounds!
