Wild Hogs

I've got hair in exportable quantities thanks to my father's genes. And a fast growing bald spot on my pate :sigh:

The bald spot is from you mother's genes, I'm afraid. IIRC male pattern baldness is linked through the mother's side.

I just saw on Nat Geo Wild (Dr. Brady Barr) an episode where they said that wild "Judas Hogs" are plaguing the southern United States, destroying crops and farms and spreading diseases. What struck me as interesting, and got my BS senses tingling, is the staggering number of animals they mentioned. They were talking about millions of wild hogs here. Is it true? or should I add this show to my black list?

Have not seen the show or read the responses, but yes, they are a menace. I don't know the numbers though. It's like any non-native animal presented into an eco-system. Cats don't seem too harmful but they are crushing the native wildlife in parts of Australia. I don't know about the "spreading disease" part though--that's new to me. Are they spreading disease to other animals (which seems much more likely) or to humans?

I can't remember them all, but here's what I have off the top of my head. Rifles (Single Shot/Bolt/Lever/Semi-Auto) (probably 20-30 rifles) - several each in .22, .22-250, .22 hornet, .223, .25-06, .243, .270, .280 by marlin, ruger, remington - several each in .30-30, .30-06 by marlin, winchester, browning, new england firearms - 1 7mm god I hate this gun! The last I bought was a single shot break action New England Firearms in .270. This gun is a tack driver. Shotguns (Single Shot/Semi-Auto) (10-15 total) - several each in .410, 20 and 12 guages by mossberg, winchester, browning, savage - muzzleloading Muzzleloaders (flint, side lock and inline percussion) and Bows (8 or so muzzleleaders) - .36, .40, .54 muzzleloaders - a 12 and 20 guage muzzleloading shotgun - compound and traditional recurve I love to hunt with the muzzleloaders the most because you have to be more careful with not getting the powder, flints, caps wet and you get the occasional misfire. I am not into pistols as much, so I only have a .22 target pistol, an old .45 of my grandfathers and some old .38 specials my dad had in the police. This is just off the top of my head and since I haven't been hunting in the past 2 years I don't get a chance to use them much and the only time I break them out is to clean them. I'd have to look again to list out details and I dunno if I will do that lol. C
Heck, that's an arsenal.

I would be very surprised if they are truly "wild hogs." I would find it much more beliveable if they were in fact feral pigs because there is a big difference between the two. There have been articles in the local media around here (Oregon, USA) about the feral pig problem and I have run across one mountain biking. He was rather frightening actually so I cut my ride short that day.
The articles I read on the net say "feral pigs" but the show stated several times, wild hogs. Yes, the big ones are damned scary if you're not ready for them. We were hunting them a few years back and one was brave enough or enraged enough to charge us, it slammed into the side of one of the older Mitsubishi trucks that we had with us. The force was so strong the pickup was raised off of the ground maybe 2 feet before it came down again. I've heard from older hunters gruesome stories resulting from wild hog attacks (not feral pigs)

Saw the title and immediately thought this was about that corny Tim Allen movie :P

Yeah, that movie sucked bad.

Cats? or Rabbits? I've heard Rabbits are causing all sorts of problems with the local fauna.

Well, according to Dr. Brady Barr, it spreads both, particularly to other animals but humans can also be touched by it.
