The feral people changed

Looks like a breeding pair

Nope. They both play for the same team, unless Ed has changed sides which could be possible if it puts money in his pockets. That would put Rosey as the pitcher and ed as the catcher. Great now I can't get that image out of my head

Our neighbors to the North get to shoot them.... here is a link that shows where they have been shot.... Russian boars would really like Nodak with the sloughs, drainages,etc same climate as most of Russia...cant believe more have not come down...

You're lucky. My neighbors to the north take turns screwing their llama while blasting April Wine.

back in 2006 there was a wild boar (not a feral domestic boar) killed near Ross, ND, the thinking at the time it had escaped from a game farm up in Sasquatchewan and found its way down.

Just what we need some Russian boars running around the slough bottoms when guys got dogs in there.

I do like April Wine, minus the love making llama, and you neighbors sound pretty cool.
The sounds of the late 70s are largely overlooked, and don't get the respect they should. Seems as though Justin beeber, and his ilk tend to spin a higher rate than actual good music

I believe there was an article in a recent Field and Stream that covers the “if they want to eliminate them, why can’t we shoot them?” question.
Essentially it comes down to shooting one or two pigs out of a group (apparently called a “sounder”) does little to nothing in the way of eliminating all the pigs. In fact, it can just make the remaining ones harder to kill. Since they can have like 6-10 piglets a few times a year, you didn’t even make a dent.
What they’ve found that works is “whole sounder” removal, which to me sounds like a pretty awesome mob-style execution of the whole damn family.
I think mainly they just want to know, so they can investigate the area and get a feel for how widespread it is. If there’s a pack of 20 and you choose to shoot one or two here and there without telling the G&F, you’re probably doing more harm than good.

Wonder if they'll employ the tannerite option?

 

[KDM]

I've read that as well, but my question is this. Does the Board of Animal Health even have the manpower, equipment, and funding to execute a "Whole Sounder Removal"??? Sounds to me like another "ghost" responsibility to make it look like they have all these jobs to do nothing but pad their budget.

They call in the Feds (Wildlife Services).

A genuine FL redneck told me they used to fill a clay pigeon with miracle whip and toss them out randomly. Putrified miracle whip draws the pigs in and the clay pigeon is toxic as hell to hogs. Guys I work with in TX eat them all the time. They get so bad they sometimes hire a trapper to come in and deal with them.

Isn't April Winehouse that scary scrawny meth-y lookin' big-haired eye-makeupped chick? I dunno, maybe I made that up.. .

 

[svnmag]

No shi'ite! Well, it says right on the box not to feed to hogs.

That's Amy...she had talent in Jazz and actually looked decent when clean.

But I would have my pork for sausage making!:;:stirthepot

 

[fullrut]

Had a guy working for us a few years back. He asked one of the locals in southern GA what works the best to keep the hogs out of the fields. The guy told him tiger piss. So our guy starts calling all the ag centers asking for tiger piss. Well it must have been a pretty well known local prank. Our guy called around for days. Everyone told him they were fresh out. Then he mentions it on a conference call where the truth was told to him. Still gets pissy when we bring it up.

Well in that case the Sounder will only have 2 more sets of piglets before they respond, get organized, and get down to business. (Grin)

 

[eyexer]

they don't want us to shoot them, they want them reported. then they can auction off tags for them for a fund raiser.

 

[Fritz the Cat]

The State of Missouri began having sightings so they enlisted the sportsmen to eradicate the pigs. But the problem grew worse and worse. The State figured it out. Hunters very much enjoy the action and were hauling feral pigs in via stock trailer. Some sportsmen quit hunting deer altogether because feral pigs are more fun. No license required, no limits, no season.

Nebraska got ahead of it early and banned shooting a feral pig period. Other States are following Nebraska's lead in one form or another.
