OK you Americans: the super pig is coming

[MapleLeafFarmer]

Cold weather makes them tough!

Quickly increasing herds of "super pigs" are on the way across your Northern border from Canada headed towards Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana.

Near impossible to eradicate, able to survive -30 temps, they are expected to cause up to $10 billion of damage in coming years. Thats no joke!

There tasty but glad there leaving for warmer climate

Canada can keep them, and I’ll just buy Canadian bacon!

That's not really news, but Montana is on the lookout. Seems like Canada might need to legalize a few more types of weapons.

Wild bacon is more lean.

Don’t worry no shortage of guns around my part of Canada.

A lot of the guys in TX use ARs with suppressors, and night vision and/or infrared. Is any of that legal in Canada? I hope so, you guys are going to need it.

 

[skeets]

SKS aint even legal from what I understand

That's what I was thinking. Would be a far cry from what the TX (and similar) guys do.

AR's: nope
suppressors: nope
infrared (night hunting): nope

And they don’t even make a dent in the wild hog population. We had them in SE NM coming from TX. Game and Fish wiped them out with helicopter gunning and bounties for anyone who shot them. If you can’t do total population destruction, then it’s a permanent pest control problem.

Guy I know hunts them but mostly traps them. I've been with him a few times. In 2022 he trapped 1023 hogs. The VAST majority of them were slaughtered and meat given to the local charity that cooks em up for the community (recovering drug users). Jim's getting older-close to 80 I think, and I sure hope someone can take over for him. The guys at the ministry are super grateful for all the meat. I am as well, it's VERY good eatin'.

I hear that some of the Muslim folks don't eat swine. I don't know any, well I do but I have never asked. I have no idea why they don't eat hogs?

 

[DustyRusty]

Both Muslims consider hogs and pigs as "dirty" animals.

 

[Trimley]

Dirty?
Don't shake their left hand.

No to the AR rifle but yes to an sks. At least I have a few friends that own them and think you can still buy them. I’ll take my Benelli r1 over the sks any day for the record. We can night hunt raccoons so if pigs became an issue then maybe. Seems like a real bad idea to me having no idea what’s behind your shot. I guess hence your use of night vision. Trapping them sounds better to me then night hunting them. We also can’t hunt or slaughter from a helicopter so that would be out. We have had bounties on coyotes in the past when we have had ridiculous numbers. I haven’t herd of any pigs around me but from what I though they were coming from your side. If you guys can’t get em with your guns we will. Lol that’s just a joke for all those serious folks.

When was this? I didn't hear about it.
