My cousin is a sugar cane farmer in Iberia Parish in south Louisiana. Hogs are a big problem for cane farmers destroying crops and fields and must be dealt with. When he knows there are hogs on a particular cane field they will have the cane cutting combine work the perimeter of the field cutting until there is a small island of standing cane remaining in the middle of a big field. The hogs bunch up in the remaining cane afraid to make a break for it then it is show time. After several are shot they make a run for it in the open field to be shot on the run. He busted them up real good yesterday as the picture shows.

There are so many videos on the Tube about hog problems and trapping, shooting them out of helicopters, and every means of eliminating them. Just seems like a big waste of some Rib and Bacon if their eatable?  Heck we could feed all these starving children we keep hearing about and doing food drives for or ship them all frozen over to China and make some money off them? At least give them to some road side BBQ shack and break out the Mac and Cheese and greens!  :bonk: :bonk: :rotflmao:

Looks like fun.  I just watched a hunting show where they were shooting them.  They said they don't have bacon because they are so lean there is not much on the belly but skin.

I'll be honest...  At first when I saw guys shooting hogs from helicopters and hunting them down with night vision equipment, I envisioned weekend warriors playing around with expensive killing toys.  But the more I learned about the problem, I came around quick.  Take 'em out any way you can.  They are smart, destructive buggers and they breed like rabbits.

I am so glad we don't have feral hogs here.  :surrender:

Now those big ranches in the south have fences to keep the hogs on their property since it has become a cash cow for them.  You have probably seen the traps they set so they can keep them breeding in their area.  SO they are keeping it going.  I think they have 2 or 3 litters a year.  That is a whole lot of destruction!
