An exploding population of hard-to-eradicate “super pigs” in Canada is threatening to spill south of the border, and northern states like Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana are taking steps to stop the invasion.
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 boars with the size and high fertility of domestic swine to create a “super pig” that’s spreading out of control.
Ryan Brook, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan and one of Canada’s leading authorities on the problem, calls feral swine, “the most invasive animal on the planet” and “an ecological train wreck.”
Just declare open season and no bag limit on pigs in all northern states. I guarantee you all the Bubbas and outdoorsmen will take care of it.
They’re not able to keep up with the breeding in Texas, and there’s even helicopter tours where you can try and wipe out whole herds at a time.
To your point, I ran across this video of an eradication attempt. Insane numbers being killed but they keep coming.
This is already the case in Saskatchewan and it hasn’t managed to curb the population.
Right, under Canadian gun laws, so they’re plinking them with bolt action .308s
Wait til SuperPork wanders into AR country…
Actually, some states ban hunting with AR-15’s because the round isn’t deadly enough for a clean kill.
My smart-assed comparison:
But to be fair, if you want to engage multiple targets, the AR is far more controllable.
In many states it is, not just northern. Iirc Texas will pay you to take an AR into a field and take out as many as you can. People even organize hunts from helicopters hunting herds like they should have Fortunate Son playing (no full auto though just ARs and typically BYOAR and ammo iirc.)
Not in the US, unless you have proof I haven’t seen. They literally don’t need to, as per the article they already breed faster in the wild than we can kill them, seems like a waste of money to breed them when you can just use the wild ones that are already there.
