When were you when current year man said people should own a G3 or an AR-10 just in case 30-50 feral hogs show up?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGazYSkFFMw
Wish the hogs devour this fat redneck's children in front of him
>>65508882Since when did John Oliver become a redneck?
>>65508882That entire comment section is full of retards like you
>>65508879The best and only solution to feral hogs is to stop farming pigs, otherwise there will be -constant- reseeding of populations. Pig farmers sit pretty making everyone else, including the land and nature, pay for all the externalities they impose. Fuck 'em.
>>65508879>almost 10 million hogs Wow, maybe if we had WOLVES they could cull the fucking population. Stop killing wolves. Nature must return to equilibrium.
>>65508879>people should own a G3 or an AR-10Yes.>just in caseReason not necessary.
>>65509206You're actually retarded.
>>65509213Are wolves even capable of taking down those mean ass hogs running around in huge packs
>>65509419your inability to refute his claim proves that he's right
>>65509423Yes and no. They gotta employ tactics to divide and conquer. Only way to win but the problem is a scared hog has a tendency to charge so it makes things very risky. If they can separate the piglets (easy meal) or tire out one of the older ones and kill it via repeated attacks, they can win.
>>65509430Let's reintroduce wolves then And hope for the best. I know the farmers bloat and kvetch any time wolves are reintroduced into an environment but wolves are based so let's get em
>>65509213>Furry paws typed this postKeep talking you uppity canine and I'll turn your grandchildren into teacup chihuahuas
The reason these hogs are breeding like rabbits is because they live virtually uncontested>plentiful food>plentiful land>zero predators A single male and a single female can make a successful litter. Rinse and repeat until we're dealing with millions of hogs tearing the country apart. Introducing *any* predation rate at this point can and will cut their numbers down.
>>65509419Superb argument, histrionic faggot. Escaped farm pigs turn feral within a few weeks of escape and pass-on their hyper fertility to wild populations. You're also a dirty nigger-pussy. https://www.nationalhogfarmer.com/livestock-management/pig-escape-reveals-a-genetic-fast-track
>>65508879I think rounding up pigs in a fiery hunt is back on the schedule.
>>65509419>t. Pork industry investorPork is the worst meat IMO, much rather chicken or beef. Pork isn't nearly as cheap as chicken or as good as beef, it's only good as sausage
>>65509213We need to go deeper. Introduce tigers and leopards to Virginia.
pigs are frens
>>65509477There are 2.6 million feral hogs in Texas alone. If we went to the woods and killed 500 of them in one night it wouldn't make a dent. 4-8 piglets in a litter at 3 litters per year per sow. The ammo cost alone...>>65509480Jaguars, anon. Biggest goddamn cat in North America.
>>65509480Didn't north america have jaguars at some point?Those will definitely kill a pig far easier than a dog will, I've done the pig hunting with dogs and they're still pretty reliant on the hunter turning up in time to stick the fucking thing before it managed to gore the catch dog. In any case, canines take injures when messing with wild pigs and that's probably going to end up with a lot of busted wolves because even fugghueg catch dogs made out of mastiff-dane crosses still struggle with them.
>>65509480tigers?
>>65509486Pigs *are* frens, anon. But if that pig is let loose into the wild it stops being a fren, and starts being a hellspawn that destroys fucking everything. >>65509468You're actually right. Pigs that are bred to be bigger get loose and breed with wild boars, spawning supersized boars.
>>65509497You're right. We're gonna need some African lions too.
Air drop breeding aged jaguars into the South and give them a protected status with severe penalties Let the Appalachian mountains be their new home in North America!
>>65509502Another thing that wolves do is deny land. Wolves carve out territory and protect that territory. Denying boars safe places to live is also a factor of population control. Less land means less places to eat and fuck. Which means less hogs.
>>65509515Whining cunt complaining about 30-50 pig in the backyard where his kids play, here's your state issued Jaguar breeding pair.Look after them fucko
>>65509497With a hunting party fed by the gravy and warme by the gloves, anything can go extinct.
>>65509523Returning native big cat populations would be pretty cool though. Getting mailed to death by a hog is embarrassing but also a very real possibility given their size and number. Being eaten by a jaguar is a way cooler way to go. Plus, if stories of a man-eating jaguar circulates that may make them legal to hunt. Which, need I remind you, killing a predator is always cooler than killing a pest?
>>65509533Ah I do pest control for farmers in my country and it gets very wearisome killing wild dogs, foxes and feral cats. They are much harder to nail down compared to the herding mentality you get with wild pigs, goats, horses, cattle and much more unpredictable. Like most herbivores they need a lot to eat, somewhere to lie up during the day and a lot of water to digest vegetation. They also tend to stick to known runs, paths, holes in fences, rat runs through scrub.Something like a wild dog might range over 20-30sq km or 15-20miles and they're very aware of anyone in that area whose gunning for them
>>65509533Texas killed all it's jaguars in 1948. Given the size of the hog horde today it's impossible to say what a healthy jaguar population would look like in such a prey rich environment. My guess is at least 25,000 jaguars nationwide. Once the hog problem is solved, they'll start giving out tags.
>>65509509I used to think that bee and ant queens were alien. The fact that it happens to mammals as well is borderline pokemon shit.
Fuck piggers. They breed like rats and destroy everything they touchI think part of the problem that people mostly shoot males, because "muh pig real big", but killing a male does fucking nothing because one boar can fuck many sows. Start specifically targeting female pigs and their spawn if you want to reasonably drive down the local population
>>65509206shalom and whatever it is the muslims say

>>65509502>>65509423>>65509430we need to breed giga wolves
>>65509699DUBS CHECKEDGIGA NIGGA WOLVES MUST BE CREATED
>>65509699>>65509709I am so tired of Leman Russ posting on this board.
>>65509486pigs, yes.wild hogs are demons
>>65509699We're already doing that. There's not that many of them yet. There's also idiots saying they're not "real giga wolves"
>>65509747Well, strictly speaking they're not. They're just a similar species made to mimic the look and size of real giga-wolf. Sort of like the difference between lab-grown vs natural diamonds. At the end of the day they're both diamonds with the same physical and chemical properties, which are nearly indistinguishable unless you take them both under a microscope
>>65509423Predators actively avoid packs and pick off stragglers and other separated/isolated prey. Remember, predators are cautious and wary while prey are aggressive.
>>65509805Wolves will regularly charge into buffalo packs to pick one out. Large cats do the same but for antelope. U wot m8
>>65509716Name a better LIVING Primarch that ISN'T Rigoberto Gorillaman
>>65509502I think you are underestimating American wolves. They are significantly bigger than even large breeds of dogs, and there's records of them being able to kill entire groups of hunting dogs.
>>65509816Perturabo. Your move.
>>65509486omg, they aer just like us.
>>65509206someone add a shot of this man eating a bacon sandwich to the end of this video
>>65509906>Primarch with daddy issues inside a tin canYawn
>>65509502>even fugghueg catch dogs made out of mastiff-dane crosses still struggle with them.Europeans use small dogs for boar hunting. The pig is too slow to defend from 2-3 terriers nipping at its back legs. You also need a group of older, experienced dogs to teach younger puppies how not to get mauled by the hog but annoy it enough for a clean shot. My neighbour used to keep a boar in his backyard just to train dogs on it. I think it's illegal now.
>>65509991>Europeans use small dogs for boar hunting.Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the hunt, the breed of dog, and how many dogs are used.Some dogs are good for "freezing" boar (sorry, I'm not familiar with the specific terminology in English).Basically forcing a pig into a more or less stationary defensive position, allowing the hunter to just stroll up and shoot it. Other dogs are good for driven hunts, flushing pigs from their hiding spots and towards waiting hunters.When it comes to dogs that corner pigs and fix them in place, there are both big ones and small ones.Very few dogs are capable of slugging it out with an adult boar in physical combat, that kind of thing is also illegal in most of Europe.What matters most is that the dogs are eager, brave, and able to avoid counterattacks by cornered pigs.There are a bunch of breeds that qualify, everything from quick and lithe Spitz breeds that top out at 60lbs, to Rhodesian hounds and various Mastiff breeds that can easily weigh over twice as much.
>All the retards suggesting that we reintroduce apex predators to the ecosystem.That's just kicking the can down the road. If your plan even works, you're going to quickly be reminded why your ancestors wiped them out in the first place. It's all "wolves and big cats are cool and based and alpha" until one of them kills your cousin. Really what just needs to be done is a top-down, targeted extermination campaign. Problem is that such campaigns operate at a financial loss so nobody's willing to pony up to do it in this short-term thinking world. That and some people unironically would cry and get in the way when it got out that the government was shooting widdle baby pigs.
>>65510964The concept of civilization will always be at odds with nature as it is; untamed and sovereignThose who whinge at a few piggies being shot and culled simply would not exist in the societies of old. To think we'd be conquering the stars had we not regressed in mindset extolling that ALL people have EQUAL worth, regardless of their actions in reality. We have yet to leave the kiddie pool of the cosmos and perhaps it might be best for the human race to die in its crib considering the trajectory of the world since the end of WW1.Ted Kaczynski said it best: The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries.
>>65509213>Nature must return to equilibrium.Why don't you just say kill 3 out of 5 people?
>>65510999But those people are only worth 3/5ths!
>>65511004Just save the right 2 ...for me!
>>65510964I don't give a shit about dead pigs, just seems like shooting and poison is a reactive solution where reintroduction of predators is more proactive and long term. Moreover I'd like to restore America to its old ecology. I mean it's already happening with the lone star tick returning to its native habitat of New England. We can struggle against nature just as our forefathers did and erase that last bit of frontier and freedom left in this world. Or we can try to learn to truly live in harmony, in a way in which we don't simply beat the wild world into shape to be more easily commodified and consumed. I don't know about you, but I want my kids to hear the frogs on a summer night with their own ears instead of through a speaker. If that harms the GDP or our place on the world stage then oh well. At least when our nation inevitably ends- like all men and their creations- our inheritors will have a cornucopia of life to enjoy instead of a scarred wasteland chewed up and spat out for some vague notion of progress
>>65509497To solve the feral hog problem, we need to look at Mao's tactics during his ill-fated campaign against sparrows, where there was a concerted propaganda effort to get the entire population of normies on board with the project of killing the target species wherever they see them.Rather than trying to have a dedicated force of hog-control operators, we need every Texan to stay strapped at all times and blast the piggers whenever and wherever they see them.
>>65511118And then turn in their guns to be smelted to make grills for smoking the pig meat!
>>65511125And then the Texans eat a hundred million pounds of feral pork barbecue and die from obesity-related diseases, leaving us with a country free of both hogs and Texans. Inshallah!
>>65511096rancid tick legs typed this post
>>65509991>>65510049The times I've done it, mostly more for fun than actual extermination by shooting them. We'd have a couple of big catch dogs which tend to grab the pig by the ears or neck and they tend to be fairly big and they're taught how to do it by running with other dogs. Then there's the chase dogs, much smaller, noisier and dumped everything into cardio- red cattle dogs, kelpies and similar. They'll run a pig down until it gets sick of their shit or cornered and then send in the catch dog once the pig is bailed up.Way too much running for my old legs! Very much a young guys sport but its fun if you're an active personReason I don't think wolves would do as well is pigs are basically a bush torpedo, they're designed to plow through undergrowth and low lying scrub with a couple of shots of high energy fight or flight in them. Boars can get pretty big but they're generally going to run and won't really turn and fight until they're cornered, Sows will fuck you up though.if they have piglets or weaners with them and you grab the pigelets, expect them to turn and at least charge but they will sacrifice one if the others get away. They can also get very big, when i was a teenager we'd go out and catch piglets to bring back. Drench, deworm, clean them up and put them in stalls, they switch back to domestic life in about a couple of months and lose the fear so you can send them off to slaughter once they put on some weight.Plus if you're a wolf pack, they go for the low hanging meal and more than anything else, domestic animals are much easier to catch than a feral pig which has a better than average chance of ripping up the predator
>>65511096Antihumanist faggot pigger
>>65509480fuck that, we need to go to velociraptors.
>>65508879don't charge shooters to hunt pigs on your property
>>65511426Better yet, make it illegal to charge for hog hunts because that just makes a cobra effect
>>65510964>>65510990pretty sure multiple state government are paying for pig culling. I know gay ass NJ lets you shoot pigs if you have a durr tag and see a pig while durr hunting

>>65508879>>65509213>>65509497Just use drones, problem solved
>>65513440Because Denmark has four times the population density of the US and only tiny patches of land where wildlife could breed.
>>65511724Yep, I mostly do farming but contract extermination is still worth doing. Mostly a lot of night work and 1080 baits for foxes lately during lambing seasonIt can be a fairly cold and miserable, stinky job>>65513870Lot of us do, just simple winged drones to spot the mobs and figure out their numbers, paths and watering holes. Usually then go in with the chopper to do the shooting but its pretty expensive and no one's felt like stumping up the cash for it lately
>>65509423Complex question. California has wild hogs and wolves. 72% of the wolves diet is cattle with deer typically making up the rest. No evidence of them preying on hogs exists despite habitat overlap. Mexican Gray Wolves in AZ and NM hunt and devour wild hogs in their state. In Europe wolves do hunt them but like with all species primarily go after the smaller ones. A large hog is not an easy thing to kill even for a pack of wolves. So the answer seems to be that yes they can but if they have easier prey and no consequences they’ll just kill cattle instead. Further evidence that the state of California is completely fucking retarded and can’t do anything right and a just God would trigger the San Andreas Fault and the Cascadia Subduction Zone simultaneously to rid us of the dirty hippy menace.
