I bagged a few hogs back in my younger days, and they were fairly wild.

Tripod's irrevelant comments aside-

I have shot a couple. They are much faster than most people realize...

The meat was as good as any supermarkey pork.

Shoot them when I see them. Never put any time into hunting them. They usually come to us

Yeah man their good stuff. Especially in spicy breakfast sausage. Since duck season is over I think im gonna go for them a few times this next month. Since I'll be hunting public ground I dont think its going to be to productive. But I dont care the mountains are green and its the nicest time of year to go for a walk.

I would love to go hog hunting, but I refuse to pay for it. They're such a nuisance, I keep hoping there's somewhere that'll let me shoot as many as I want for nothing.

I'm with you Assa if it was $100.00 I'd think about paying that but I'm not paying $500.00 to go shoot a damn feral pig.

Yup, its outrageous how much ranchers are charging now a days. I had a ranch several years back that was 150 for one hog and 100 bucks for every other pig to you shot that day. It was a good deal. But the old guy that ran it gave the outfit to his son and he raised the rates like crazy. So piss on that place. It was full of nice meat hogs and had some real nasty trophy boars with good cutters.

Ours are almost exclusively on private land. The ranchers bitch about the damage they cause but won't let anyone hunt. It funny

There are none in KS, yet my cousin took this one less than 10 minutes from my house. KDWP treats them like mountain lions.

Jarbo. What do you mean they treat them like mountain lions? As in they protect them like my hippie ass state does for those stupid cats.

They have only recently said there us a small population if pigs in the southern most part if the state. Even though a few cats have been hit by cars, many pics on game cameras, and many reports of people seeing them, wildkife and parks is resistant to admit they are here. I have never seen one, but have seen and taken pics of tracks.

It's the same here in MN. Anytime proof of a cat is brought up, it's just a "roaming young male from South Dakota" even though there have been females found...

They are here. You cant hide what they do to livestock. Cats that is. I am surprised we dont have more hogs.

Shoot pigs all the time. Damn nuisance. No limit no fees. Just kill em and kill em all. I butcher 50-60 a year kill about 200-300 a year. Gonna start trapping them and selling them. Good money in selling them.

Nope to people who ship them somewhere in Europe. I don't know really what they do with them after I sell them to them.

I shot one one time with a .357 magnum. Bad idea! Didnt penetrate at all.

Next time I will use my SuperBlackHawk and hit him with a .44 mag.
