We've got wild pigs are in the Adirondacks now.
Hope you have open season and a bounty on these critters. A farmed hog is dangerous, I got chased through a field to put tack on a horse as a kid, this farmed male wanted the leather I was told.
Wild hogs that in 2 generations grow those tusks that DE gut the best hunting dogs and can give a hunter gangrene if they slice into them are worse then being attacked by a bear. Far as I know I have no idea what bear spray will do to an angry boar.
Do any hunters out there know if bear spray will stop these slicing and dicing machines ???????
Just saw your post IF, Darn if Texas has not got a problem on its hands. These machines from hell can eat most anything and the more food they have the larger the litters from the sow. So far in Texas are the Hogs still solitary families or are they learning to hunt in packs ??
You said it, these beasts are at times smarter then a dog. Only thing I can think of is to get Madison Ave. to make their hide fashionable, we saw what happend to the alligators in Florida when their hide became a wanted commodity. Took just a few years and the suckers were placed on the endangered list. With the Asian Carp up north, Chiefs are working to find a way to make them a desired dish. Get them to the dinner plate and their numbers will go down rapidly.
Until some liberal and Peta comes along crying, oh the poor things.
Florida needs to start a program for boot makers to use snake skin, and make vests. There it is right in front of our eyes a business just waiting to be built on using what we want to be rid of.
