Why are boars always in season in TX?

[DigMe]

Recipe:

Shoot sow.

Cut out backstraps.

Go back to camp and run clean water over them for a minute or so.

Drop in ziplock and add whatever spices are handy. I like lawry's season salt and worstershire <sp?> sauce.

Cook on rack over the campfire.

Eat.

Smoke cigar.

Slice some backstraps about 1" thick, then marinate in pineapple juice mixed with Obie Cue's Smooth Move. Grill till done. Tasty!

We have an almost unlimited supply of ferals in TX as others have posted. They are distructive and still expanding territory. Not much aside from human represent a threat. And they do damage the habitat and threaten other forms of wildlife.

I say "kill'em all...let Jimmy Dean sort'em out!"

S-
(just joking, no way you will every get all of'em)

WI Hogs

There is a seperate box in my deer hunting regs this year in WI. that lists European wild hogs and Russian wild boars as unprotected wild animals.

It also states:

"While deer hunting this year please help the DNR address this potentially harmful non-native species. Please consider shooting any wild hogs you see while out in the field this fall and report any sightings to the local warden or wildlife manager"

I didn't even know we had wild hogs in WI. But they must be a threat to add that to the hunting regs..

I hope to see some ???

Boars in Badgerland? Escapees from game ranches maybe?

As a kid I heard tales from oldsters about when they were kids, there were still feral pigs in the woods from the pioneer days. As with all bear/puma/magic unicorn stories, I never saw any, of course.

A wild pig in my state would last all of 2 minutes.

Maybe they're just trying toi get a jump on it before it does get out of hand and y'all end up like Fl and Tx.
Of course if it wasn't for hogs there wouldn't be any bigger game to hunt down here

FWIW I have read that no matter what the breed of hog, it takes only three generations for escaped pigs to revert to wild type, with bristling hair, long tusks, thin wiry body et cetera. So if that is true there will never be any shortage of wild boars. Just take a few hybrid shoats and turn them loose and they will breed back to wild type within a few years.

The local mountains have the "mini wild hogs" here in Taiwan... And trust me, it's one of my favorite foods..

Garlic, soy sauce, wild boar, on a hot plate... stir fry, YUM!

asians eat pigs like there's no tomorrow, and comparing the taiwan population to the TX population, and the taiwan land mass vs the TX.. If here in Taiwan, we can't make them extinct, it's nigh impossible for TX to..

16-20 baby hogs a year.. and they can breed I think after 8 months or so.. Those are staggering numbers...
