411 pound Feral Hog caught in San Antonio.

[MarathonMike]

These huge destructive hogs are spreading. Soon they will be all over the lower 48. Time to declare a bounty on these big piggies and put those AR-15s to good use.
How 3 guys and 3 dogs caught this 411-pound feral hog that infiltrated a San Antonio golf course

RATS. Hopes dashed again. I thought for sure this time it was a thread saying the Texans had finally busted Hillary for good.

And yet wild hogs were barely more than a curiosity in the Lone Star State until the 1980s. It’s only since then that the population has exploded, and not entirely because of the animals’ intelligence, adaptability and fertility. Hunters found them challenging prey, so wild hog populations were nurtured on ranches that sold hunting leases; some captured hogs were released in other parts of the state. Game ranchers set out feed to attract deer, but wild hogs pilfered it, growing more fecund. Finally, improved animal husbandry reduced disease among domestic pigs, thereby reducing the incidence among wild hogs.

humanely removed and taken to the slaughter house....why risk your dogs and your own life....feral hogs have long been a problem in the smokies.....so far they have not spread to this part of the blue ridge....hogs will tear the hell outta your land....old timers used them to clear lots and basically root the lot up and turn the soil...i would use a rifle you dont have to have an ak anything to hunt hogs

 

[strollingbones]

and who the hell knew a dog couple hold it down by the ears....

 

[Penelope]

Who would even go to bay dog events, I guess those in TX have nothing better to do, its a shame.

Feral Pigs?

Man, you gun nuts are desperate and scared the rest of us are getting sick of your nonsense.

 

[Pilot1]

They are very destructive and very hard to eradicate.

Ears are very sensitive. When I was in high school, this 5 foot nothing 90 pound home economics teacher grabbed a misbehaving 6'4" 280 pound Samoan kid by the ear and took him all the way down the hall to the principal's office.

That's called a pain submission hold.

Just keep them in the South.

They are in MI. The hunters brought them here.

Feral hogs are a nuisance in many parts of America. They destroy crops and land. Oh and they have been know to attack people.

I see them all the time down here in Florida when I'm trail riding. Not nice animals and very destructive.
