Re: [MBZ] OT: Murder by hogs

[Larry Turner via Mercedes]

the feral hogs decimated bird life in Hawaii.  Most birds there nested 
on the ground and the hogs wiped many species completely out.


I'd like to hunt them as well, but shooting from a chopper would be my 
preference

hunt hogs there with dogs, and almost every dog gets severely cut up

Now that I have good friends in TX, maybe I'll get to hunt hogs with 
them some year.


combining aircraft and rifles makes for good fun, so long as nobody is 
shooting AT said aircraft.

It is, however, on my personal bucket list.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Murder by hogs

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I do. Understand that the area I live in was empty farm and grove land 20 years 
ago. 10 miles from me (or possibly less) the area is still undeveloped for now, 
and it pretty much empty scrub or swampland. The pressure on wildlife from 
development around here is significant. It’s causing a lot of habitat loss and 
as a result forces a lot of it into relatively compressed areas, such as the 
lands along the river.

Just came in from reloading the smoker and heard “Hawky”, our red-shouldered 
hawk that lives behind the house, raising Cain about something. He flies around 
and regularly relieves us of our tree rats (squirrels).

Re: [MBZ] OT: Murder by hogs

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Our community, along with the community across the street from us, backs up 
onto a 60+ acre conservation area that was deeded to us when the developers 
purchased the property. The Alafia River flows along the southern part of the 
park, and there are environmental lands (ELAPP) owned by the County that 
surround the river for the better part of it’s length through it’s watershed. 
As a result of this there are a lot of wild animals that transit through the 
area as it’s a corridor for them to move between the eastern part of the county 
to Tampa Bay.

So no, these are truly wild animals. Along with the panthers, bobcats, coyotes, 
deer, hawks, eagles, etc., etc. that live in the area. I’m going to miss 
listening to all the wildlife when we move in a few weeks. I’ll still have 
access to the park, as I’ll be in the other community, but we’ll be farther 
away from the edge of the park.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Murder by hogs

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

We have feral hogs in our private park immediately behind my house. They’re 
nowhere near as large as the ones in Texas (that I’ve seen) but they’re 
certainly present and they do a lot of damage. If I go walking back there I 
always carry a sidearm in the event I stumble across a bunch of them.

My ex-BIL had the damn things rampaging through his housing development south 
of Houston tearing up yards. He was well armed but unfortunately discharging 
weapons was not allowed so they continued to sustain the damage. He was 
disappointed he couldn’t get some to put on the smoke.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Murder by hogs

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Some years ago when I was living in Houston there was a story about a 10yo girl 
who had gone out in the country hog hunting with her daddy and had no luck. 
They came back to the truck and were loading up when this huge hog comes 
walking across the road. The little girl grabs her rifle and shoots the thing. 
It was HUGE. I don’t remember exactly but it weighed several hundred pounds and 
was like 7ft long. Monstrous. Plenty to put on the smoke.

 I'd like to go on a hog hunt, we don't have them here.My cousin lives in Texas 
but for some reason won't have anything to do with hunting hogs.It'd be fun to 
take some of dad's more interesting rifles on a hog hunt.
Actually I fired my .54 caliber muzzle loader today with 450grain "buffalo 
bullets". With 80 grains of real black powder behind it I bet one of those 
would roll a hog good and proper.
