A particularly large and viscous pack was spotted frequenting this building...

Hogs are a huge problem in the South.
They cant kill them fast enough.
The hogs kill countless dogs, cats and livestock.
They need to bring back the packs of Red Wolves that used to live there.

Remember you’re not allowed to hunt them in NYS. My FIL wants to go to Texas to shoot a few. When he retires if he does it I think I’ll go with him. 6.8spc needs some blood.

Of all the hunts that have captivated my imagination, none of them top this.

My wife is yearning for a pig hunt. After a cousin gave her an open invitation to hunt them on his Texas ranch, she has been watching video on field dressing and butchering feral pigs. Sounds like an oppertunity to get my girl a new rifle to celebrate.

No such thing as bad bacon or bbq.

Does NYS have any?

A few (several?) years ago I believe they were reported to be along the Delaware river in Sullivan County. Haven't heard anything about it though in years.

There are some but seem to be somewhat controlled.
The state doesnt want us to hunt them because we could end up like Texas.
A sounder of hogs will generally control its size. The dominant boar and sow keep breeding in check.
The young from them will disperse and create their own sounders.
If hunters break up a sounder by killing a few hogs, the group can split up and create multiple sounders. Then they tend to breed out of control until a dominant boar takes over....that could take a couple seasons.
This is how hog populations explode.
The more you kill them, the faster they spread.
A good boar will keep his group size down depending on available food and territory.
When the sounders get broken up, and they breed out of control, they use up land and food quickly.....then invade farms and such.

Absolutely true.
Hogs arent political.
This is why Eurasian Boars arent taking over Eurasia.
Mother nature tends to take care of herself.....until humans interfere.
In Hawaii hunters know not to kill the huge boars and sows who may be dominant. They kill smaller hogs.
This is why Hawaii isnt overrun.
Hogs are tasty and easy to hunt. They have found ways to survive.
Sounder spliting is one of those ways.
Many other prey animals do this, as well as predators like wolves.
A boar will not let other boars mate. If they do he may kill the babies.
If the dominant boar is killed or the sounder is fractured, ALL the horney young boars breed and several will form their own sounder.
So, one sounder with 1 or 2 breeding sows now becomes 4 sounders with 1 or 2 breeding sows.
This has nothing to do with NYS, liberals or Cuomo, its nature and has been happening for centuries.
Deer too.
Killing a large buck in an area allows several young bucks to breed who wouldnt normally get the chance.
Luckily deer have a breeding season, hogs not so much.

Yes we certainly do. Not nearly the numbers other states have. There are some in alleghany state park and by my parents property. Again just not a ton of them.

I'm doing my part to eradicate the buggers...Tons-O-Fun in Texas!!!
I'll be back down there for Christmas and plan on at least one night hunt. His boss has a thermal scoped .308 we will be borrowing!
My son is south of Houston and is getting into it. He has several under his belt.

 

[BuffNiag]

Do you leave them for the coyotes or what?

 

[Shadow rider]

Yes...he was told that if you want to eat them you have to kill the little squealers.
