USDA Goes Whole Hog on the Barbeque

We trap and shoot but they still always return.
Trapping is good, but I'm more effective hunting (at night with thermal).

 

Columbus brought pigs to the Caribbean islands. Desoto brought them to the mainland, mainly Texas.

 

and the kill rate is much higher because the bullets do so much damage that it doesn't matter where you hit them. the same thing that makes them effective at killing humans

 

that's the way we clear them from the watermeon fields down here. at night,with thermal. nobody working the fields at night either

 

Where at?

 

As long as you use the right caliber. I got away from 223 (but still use AR) about 10 years ago. It did OK a lot of the times but had too many instances where I was in a field with a large, wounded hog (or three).

 

mostly east Collier County, some in Hendry

 

Some have been showing up on the pretty snow bird lawns here in Florida. They do a much better job than a tiller.

Swine spree in Sanford neighborhood as wild hogs tear up yards

 

we have them in our gated neighborhood in sw florida doing the same. always said that if the planet goes native I can live on pigs and mullet and what I can grow.

I have a friend up in Orlando that gets paid to bow hunt them on golf courses up there.

 

putting rabbits to shame, who knew?

 

Can make pretty good sausage where you control the mix. But if you are smoking it, it better be a younger sow… Nothing like tending the smoker all night for yuk

 

I liked oklahomagator's blowey uppey thing better.

 

Gives new meaning to the saying "when pigs fly."
