Most American thing I can think of.
You think you’ve got a problem? Ours are stealing laptops!
I can understand ruining the entire harvest crops… But not stealing the laptops! D:
Wild boar problem? Baby, humans are the problem.
Two words: Helicopter Chaingun
Pigs run this country.
The parties in control are not the type to regulate or fund programs, so no, not really.
Step 1 rank all of your problems.
step 2, all problems above rank 99th, ain’t one.
Bring back predators…the good kind. Wolves have a purpose.
Wild hogs would destroy a wolf. These creatures are no joke.
That’s probably why wolves prefer to live in packs. Just to be more evenly matched.
Wild hogs live in “packs” (“sounders”, actually. Lulz.) as well. On all fronts, the hogs should win. Some of the bigger hogs could easily outweigh a wolf 5:1.
These creatures are what nightmares are made of and I wish I could say I was joking or being sarcastic.
Could a pack of wolves separate a hog from its pack and kill it? Sure. Not all hogs are hell-spawn. Regardless, we are also talking about mother nature’s true version of Medusa.
Lulz, I think I just found a collective noun for Republicans
Wild boars are an invasive species, they don’t have natural predators.
Good point… Panther? Mountain lion?
I’m all for some barbecue
We’re having a problem with deer in ireland.
Wait till the chronic wasting disease shows up. Until then enjoy the venison.
Funnily enough, I tried some venison the other day and it tasted awful.
Not sure how you had it but it’s not very good in steak form. Much better in a stew or made into jerky or sausage.
Progressives should support a boar hunting program, along with offering assistance for moving, dismantling, and inspecting game. People who learn how to hunt, know how to shoot. That might be a very valuable skill in the times ahead.
We kill two boars with one bullet.
Probably not the same animals that need to be controlled, but boar is delicious!
Only the babies. The testosterone makes them nasty af as they get older.
“Legit question for rural Americans – How do I kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?"
Shit, reply all lives on.
I miss that show. PJ is good on Search Engine, but I miss Alex. Both of them.
Alex has a new show as well! Hyperfixed
Omg thank you! I like PJ but I still can’t forgive him completely
Forgive him for what? I recall there was drama around this show but I legit couldn’t understand what actually happened.
Woke killed the show. It’s the only casualty of woke that I really can’t process.
Wasn’t it a sexual harassment thing?
I thought it was a discrimination thing
And the anti-union shit.
You actually have to lure the hogs into a pen with multiple exits, drop the gates, and gun them down before they can manage an escape. You also should be very vigilant and listen well for any nearby hogs, the adult females tend to be smarter and more cautious but they’re the targets you NEED to kill.
Failure to catch all of the hogs will allow the others to learn and adapt to the traps, and failure to kill the females will result in their population continuing to grow.
Other effective methods are clap traps and spike pits but those don’t work well when you have children or other animals. There is also the M44 cyanide pill shooting trap made for Coyotes but idk if it works on Hogs.
Give the kids guns too.
That was intended to sound sarcastic, but most kids I knew in rural America have been around guns since they were big enough to carry them. I personally started shooting a .22 when I was in kindergarten and was just hardly big enough to shoot a 30-06 when I was about 10 or so. (I am very much the liberal gun owner type, btw.)
While I can’t change the past, I do find myself questioning the logic of my experience at times. For yet another direction shift, my girls are both trained in gun safety, but that started years before I let them even touch a gun.
Yeah. I grew up around guns. I was shooting 22s early like you, had a compact shotgun by the age of 10, etc.
We didn’t live in the country, so while we had guns in the house, we did NOT have ammunition in the house until I was 15 or so, just in case me or my sister ever decided to play with a gun. We bought ammo on the way to the range or the hunt, and anything we didn’t shoot was given to a family member.
I’ve been shooting since I was about 5 too.
I haven’t in many years, but I think I was 10 or 11 when my dad got me a 20 gauge.
A 14yo was the first to fire at Marshalls at Ruby Ridge.
Mmm free bacon 🥓
I say we cede the country to the pigs. They might do a better job.
Pig walking into a full congress, “these animals are disgusting”
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which,”
Too late!
Some animals are more equal than others!
I’d rather do that than arm people with assault rifles so they can live in remote rural areas where herds of feral pigs are an issue. Yes this is an actual argument people make in favor of keeping assault rifles legal. “What if I need to stop a stampede of 80 feral hogs? This is a weekly occurrence on my property.”
Frankly, if feral hogs have you running scared, it’s not your property, it’s theirs.
Would you like to be a moderate? I’ll propose giving the hogs the assault rifles and you’ll instantly become a moderate.
humans have assault rifles <— no one has assault rifles —> hogs have assault rifles
Edit: would arming both humans and hogs also be a good compromise?
Those are ones in captivity, for food.
I for one welcome our new hog overlords
If you’ve read Orwell, then you know we have.
Hogwash! Capitalist pigs will end us. I for one advocate for roo committees.
Wildlife not being extinguished by humans is a good thing.
Feral pigs are an invasive species that wreak havoc here
You should see the damage a single pig can do. I have. And I like pigs, have a pet pot belly.
They are the only animals I will shoot on sight, no questions asked. And I wouldn’t shoot a squirrel.
