They're Baaaaack.... or at least heading our way "Super Pigs" again.

We here is KS are apparently about to be surrounded, "super pigs" from the north and regular feral swine from the south.. I figure when it gets to the point they're training Dobermanns we're screwed..

And don't forget we have armadillos here now.

Well, look at the bright side, it’s going to be a more controllable problem than what’s coming over our Southern border…

And don't forget we have armadillos here now.

We run into them often while chasing ditch chickens down in Sawyer. #6 works pretty good on them.

They're super because they're from crosses of domestic pigs and Eurasian hogs?
I've been told that's what's downeast in North Carolina.
Either way, Speer, Remington Winchester, Hornady, and others manufacturer copious amounts of hog kryptonite.

Yankees...

In Canada, the wild pigs roaming Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba pose a new threat. They are often crossbreeds that combine the survival skills of wild Eurasian boar with the size and high fertility of domestic swine to create a “super pig” that’s spreading out of control.

... which are just Razorbacks, or Piney Woods Rooters.

Hog heaven.

"... just Razorbacks..."
Like saying Godzilla and Rodan are just Kaiju.

Cold resistant.. learning to walk on 2 legs.

"Super pigs" sounds like a media eye catching buzz phrase, like "assault rifle"; I suppose that "adaptable pigs" or "prolific hogs" is boring.
