Up Next: SUPER PIGS

They are 600 pounds and hard to kill.

FOX: A cross-bred “super pig” from Canada is poised to wreak havoc on the environment in the United States and must be dealt with aggressively and immediately, a wildlife expert told Fox News Digital. 

“These pigs are easily the worst invasive large mammal on the planet,” said Dr. Ryan Brook, an assistant professor in the department of animal and poultry science at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada. MORE

    Well I went down to the collerina

    The wife told me i should proceed with caution
    But oscar barked and said Id like to take a bite on that
    And I said
    Hey big boar why dont you come over here
    Me and my dog want to chew on your ear
    And pick you up, put you in the back of my ute
    We’ll kill you so fast it just aint funny
    Take you to the chiller and make lots of money
    Then we’ll come back and kill all your family
    Oscar and I was running though the lignam
    We got to the pig, he looked like a grizerly bear
    I guess it weighed about 1 hundred and 80
    Oscar ran in but it tossed him up in the air
    We were there for about half an hour
    trying to catch that big darl old pig
    Then linden turned up with about 7 pig dogs
    Grab that boar and put it in the back of out rig
    And we said
    Hey big boar why dont you come over here
    Me and my dog want to chew on your ear
    And pick you up, put you in the back of my ute
    We’ll kill you so fast it just aint funny
    Take you to the chiller and make lots of money
    Then we’ll come back the very next day
    With a great big gun and a butchers knife
    photographer, thats the wife
    kill 50 pigs to get them seen
    in every hunting magazine
    To all you city people
    If your dog is looking board
    Take him out west where the weed is high
    And put him on a boar and just say

  4. Those pigs would feed a lot of people on welfare. Put a bounty on them like they do snakes and gators in Florida. Heck, just read where a gator ate an elderly woman and her dog – caught it on youtube nonetheless. Pigs like that are feral and will kill humans as well.

  5. “These “super pigs” are actually a cross between a European wild boar and a domestic pig, ”

    That’s exactly what we have running around the U.S. now. What makes these piggies different than the packs of pissed off porkers we have wreaking havoc now?
    I’ll go with an AR chambered in 300 Black Out. Supersonic of course.

    Not for the big ones:

    9.3×62 in a Remington 760

    You start with a 760 Gamemaster in 30-06 and send it to Jesse at JES Reboring in Cottage Grove with a check and get it back a couple weeks later bored and chambered for 9.3×62. Brass is available from Privi Partisan and is good stuff. Nosler Partitions are pretty hard to beat.

  7. “These pigs are easily the worst invasive large mammal on the planet,”

    Except for the Chinese, the Russians, the European Union and last but not least 95% of the departments of the US government!

  8. “They are 600 pounds and hard to kill.”

    I accept this challenge. Give me a chance.

    Even the biggest of hogs – (Over 200 Lbs – it’s a hog) have a very sweet kill spot. Don’t bother aiming for the lungs or heart when after the really big ones. You’re not hunting deer.

    An accurate 9mm carbine should do it just fine within 100 yards or so. A .308 would be overpowered for that spot even on a 600+ hog, but the further out you are, the more likely you need something that can accurately hit that small spot. A .260 or 6.5mm Creedmoor would be a very good choice for this small target spot.

    As for the bacon and other pork products, let’s just say – the bigger they are the less sweet the meat. You want the little ones on your BBQ plate.

    The whole idea of hunting large ones is to reduce the breeders. THEY ARE PESTS !! That’s why there is no season or limit on them. In Texas you will be fined for transporting live them so you can breed them for your hunting ranch.

    I think hog hunts should be outlawed. As long as hunting them makes money for the land owner, they have no reason to eliminate the most destructive pest to agriculture we have. Besides ruining your farm fields, crops, and such, they’ll kill and eat your livestock too.

    The hunters I admire turn the meat over to feed the needy. I like it when nothing is wasted, but sometimes just leaving them in the field is the thing to do. Even nature needs something to eat.

    I’m hoping #1 son follows through on getting a helicopter pilot’s license. So many joyful options open up at that point. Yee Haw !! This is when the AR15 and such would come into play.

    Hopefully people here learn from this example of linking.
    You NEVER need any of the slashes or anything that comes before them.

    Gimme a shot. I live for this challenge. Satisfaction guaranteed.

  9. .308 should be sufficient, convenient, handy, available, and cheap.
    If there’s such a thing as a sub-sonic .308, that would be the way to go.
    Less likely to spook the herd (sounder) after the first shot.
    As for the meat…with all the diseases, and parasites, I’d leave it out in the field.

  10. President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist, etc.,

    My last feral pig was 250 lbs and my .308 rifle did the job admirably in one shot, but idk about 600 lbs!

    My boar was very tasty; the meat processor I go to is great. He is also a hunter and enthusiastic about turning game into delicious cuts and sausages.

    Our scumbag Governor, Gavin Newsome, changed it so a hunter will be able to purchase one pig tag for a year, I think, and take as many as they want instead of one tag per pig. Sounds good but I don’t trust that scumbag.

    “If there’s such a thing as a sub-sonic .308, that would be the way to go.”

    When you load your own, subsonic is always possible. But .308 is just another 30 caliber. At such a slow speed, you can use a 30-30 or .300 blackout if you load them for below sonic speed. Really no difference. The drop from the muzzle will be perfectly comparable. Length of barrel factors in, also. Drop = downward distance to level ground from the muzzle. Example: If your muzzle is 4.5 feet above level ground – it takes exactly the same time to drop a bullet to ground as it does for one to hit that same elevation when you fire it.

    The first time I heard a supersonic .22 LR, I, and everyone around me, was surprised. That crack is a dead giveaway. Doesn’t matter what caliber, you’re giving yourself away.

    THE main reason an assassin would use a subsonic .22LR to the head.

    Fun fact about bullet drop: Once fired, it takes the same amount of time to hit level ground as it does to simply drop the bullet right where you stand. It’s only the speed of the projectile that makes it drop further out. No difference in time-to-ground.

  12. You don’t want to go sub sonic. Energy is what kills and pigs are tough. Shooting them in the head sometimes just pisses them off. Very thick skull plate. I’ve sold probably 50 ARs chambered in Black Out to guys that hunt pigs year round. AR’s are light, fast and maneuverable. Comes in handy when your in thick brush. Semi full auto is a must. In brush the heavier the bullet the better. 220 grain 30 cal is a good choice. Lot’s of energy. 300 Black Out is still evolving. Some of the new hunting loads are mighty speedy. My fav round in an AR. In fact every AR in my gun safe is chamber in Black Out.

    Historically strait walled cartridges have been problematic. Stuck brass in the chamber. However Winchester thru a lot of money at this. I’m not sure it’s been around long enough to get any real feed back.

  14. @ Dadof4- I once knew a guy who hunted those little California porkers with a .45 caliber 1911, he reported some success.
    Much as I like the 1911 it wouldn’t be my first choice…

  15. Many years ago me and some pals hunted a guided trip on an Injun Res on the north coast. Those crazy Indians find the thickest shit they can and search for the game trails. Get up in a tree and wait. When the last pig goes through they drop down on them from above, slit their throats with a knife and then get back in the tree. It take a lot of firewater to get me to try that.

  16. I knew a couple of native Hawaiians that did something very similar. They emphasized have a very sharp knife. I did have a couple wild pig dinners there and the pig was damn good.

  17. ” A cross-bred “super pig” from Canada is poised to wreak havoc on the environment in the United States and must be dealt with aggressively and immediately”

    Absolutly agree. Just look what the one did to the country, one of the first ones that migrated to Commiefornia. It even got her own name, Nancy Pelosi.

  18. BS. We have been killing wild hogs in north central Texas for years,,, nay,, decades. The big ones range from 500-700 lbs. Nothing new. Many photos of those big ones on the bulletin boards in the country motels and hunting lodges where they stay,,, for decades.

  19. The Australians hunt them with their pig dogs and four wheelers and a hunting knife. James Mckay the guy singing the song above is an avid pig hunter, he mentions his wife in the song Collerina Road. She is a professional photographer and trust me she is a real sporty unit. He has a few other songs about Oscar his favorite Bull Arab pig dog.

    Guys in Australia and New Zealand who I correspond with send me links and I had some really good video, but the damnable PETA types keep attacking the best stuff and getting YouTube to take it down.

    ==============

    I use a full load 10mm for a more effective finishing shot on these creatures.

    My point I want to make is the exact target you make for your kill on these pests is the desired target. The point being is a small 2 inch circle behind an ear. A kill at-all-cost target is a bit different. Sure, blast their bodies from 50 yards up in a helo. Not the same as taking a ONE-shot kill on the ground at relatively close quarters.

    If your come-from is a general angle, like a helicopter quick-shot hunt, then a load that accommodates that kind of shot is just fine. That would be a fairly destructive round that a hog will EVENTUALLY die from. That’s what you see in the link I provided earlier. Nothing wrong with that. Any AR15 solid round will do in this instance.

    In close quarters, within 10-100 yards, my preference is:

    underwoodammo.com/10mm-auto-200gr.-flat-nose-black-cherry-coated-hard-cast-hunting-ammo/

    Again, just copy / paste into your address bar. choose Paste and go…

    My carry out in the field will include a lot more than my pistol. That’s just for the closest of targets.

  21. JDHasty – don’t Aussies also love the Ruger .44 carbines? I remember reading several posts over various threads about them using that rifle for hog hunting. One guy even went as far as searching for anyone, in the states, who could make higher capacity rotary mags (Deerfield carbine) for the version that wasn’t the tube fed Model 44.
