In the last few years, the feral hog problem here has gotten much worse with the confirmed fact that some idiot 'sportmen' shipped some russian boars in from South Carolina, where they can be bought rather cheaply..............the excuse I heard was the plan was to hunt them all out over time...........hummmm...aint it time yet?
I find that my fences stand not a bit of chance when they want to be on one side or the other.........my cattle find the holes, and make them even bigger...............and of course out they go.
The thing about folks around here is, even with me begging, not many folks are into hunting them for some reason or another, although I was lucky enough to have a friend take one off of here a few days ago while deer hunting...........
I might add, that this time last year I was witness to what should have been a slaughter late one night with largebore rifles and buckshot, and although evidence of blood and teeth etc, were found, we never saw even one dead hog in the search over the next day or so.....Little armour plated sob's! :x
As much of a animal lover I am, I am realistic and see no use for them in the least, and along with coyotes and folks on the dole without cause, I see them all as parasitic feeders, with a need for culling. :cboy: Too harsh?
