Gotta protect us from 30-50 feral hogs

Jokes aside they do pose a significant threat. 30-50 hogs can breed into hundreds in the matter of a year. They won’t only destroy crops but flip the balance of the ecosystems they invade.

Super pig and feral hog are very offensive terms for illegal aliens.

Nah, it's the Chinese tunneling in under the border from Canada! I read it here in r/newhampshire! :)

Edit: Nope, sorry, that was Facebook. It's so hard keeping these fine news sources separate, lol.

This might rival the Great Emu War of 1932 in Australia

Over the years, some have escaped and started a small, but sustaining population outside of the reserve. Even though these escaped boar are both invasive and destructive, you’re not allowed to shoot them without Corbin Park’s permission because they are “escaped private property.”

I have found a pig skull and other things in the woods in NH. It could be from domestic dogs or wild animals carrying parts into the woods from farms, trash, dumps. Or it could be that there are feral pigs here. Not sure yet.

Pig extermination. Definitely changing occupations.

Cheaper than flying to TX to do the same. Not a problem till it’s a problem but then we’ll have the solution.

I've been hog hunting in the Carolinas before, and it is insane.

Basically a bunch of people waiting for a pack to show up and destroying the entire group.

By the time that's done, there's another pack a field away that's wrecking everything. Hundreds of pounds of wild pork ready to harvest in 10-15 minutes.
