I am..........disturbed.

No pigs have been here since the transient bunch came thru last June! 😕 And those were the first in years.

Would really like an old sow to walk thru with about 1/2 dozen 20 lb shoats. They would look ever so nice on the freezer shelf.



Edit, I did see a big ol’ lone black boar up on neighbors place a mile up the road while wifey was in hospital. But thats about it.

That would be a huge waste of money and a huge overstep of government on private property.

I sure wouldn't want some 19 year old national guardsman using an M-60 on hogs in a pasture where my cattle, or myself are.

I would think they could be a bit more precise than that using an M16 style ?

LOL!

Difference between cattle and hogs?

You just don’t lead em as much!

Cows that run are pigs!

Cows that don’t run are well disciplined pigs!

They do just that on military and federal land, its just not that effective. They stay under cover fairly well.

I think year before last, they popped around 500 on camp bullis from the air. It just feeds the survivors.

Hell back in the days of the Huey, the NG was flyin’ some kinds drug intervention here in the neighborhood. Busted an old azz woman other side of Wilbarger creek for growing a garden full of okra!!! No schidt! Poor old azz woman was like older than dirt. Lived alone.

They became dubbed "The Okra Police"!

Hey, one day it will be like Florida. Hogs, Black Bear, and Pythons, will force everyone to need a Big Bore pistol or 45/70 just to take the trash to the street.

Apparently only times pigs become a real issue is when they invade a new suburban neighborhood.

Then, the 4th Estate gets a lot of milage out of their stories.

They do aerial hog hunting in certain places during the winter here. There's an outfit in Bardwell that hunts but needs lots of acres to hunt. The farmers and ranchers go together and pay to have them clear the hogs out. They also take people up to hunt with them but at $1600 per person it isn't for the average guy. At least they were doing that in 2015 when we moved from that area. They sometimes get 1500 or more per hunt. They're so prolific it still doesn't make a dent in the populations.
