feral hogs + dirt = climate change

Feral Hogs Pollute the Climate as Much as 1 Million Cars Each Year

There are way more than 30 to 50 feral hogs around—and new research shows that they're taking a serious toll on our planet.

"According to the models O’Bryan and his colleagues developed, wild pigs are uprooting anywhere between almost 14,000 square miles (36,214 square kilometers) to 47,690 square miles (123,517 square kilometers) in their non-native habitats. And all this digging has serious consequences for the carbon dioxide stored in soil. Around 5.37 million tons of carbon dioxide each year are released due to wild pig activities."

AR's in 458 socom are the ultimate hog slayers. Save the planet- build more big bore AR's.

Trap them 5000 at a time, drop them off in Chicago and stop the EBT cards. Jack.

This is the kind of thinking we need in Flushington, DC.

Secondly, feral hogs have been on the planet for millennia. Now it's an issue? FFS.

We could also recycle the bodies picked in Chicago and Baltimore, etc by feeding them to the hogs who would then destroy less crops. Jack.

2 problems, 1 solution, and it renews on itself.

You sir, are a genius and my new hero.

Got any recommendations on hog loads in other calibers?
Might give hog hunting a go next year.

It's not that simple. They breed like rabbits. And are as smart as crows. Combine those two and their #'s grow and they learn to be harder to kill. Killing them is only a short-term solution. Because they'll come back with a vengeance pretty quick.

Sounds like Democrats. Jack.

Watcha got? My brother just bought a Ruger bolt gun in 450 Bushmaster for hogs. Seems like energy / terminal ballistics trump velocity and flat shooting.

If I didn't have the 458, I'd use something in 308 with a heavier projectile and high expansion.

Right now, big fat nothin.

Probably anything that works well for deer will do it. Jack.
