All quiet last night, maybe the fireworks scared them off.:arrgh!: Sometimes they range off and don't come back for months.

PCP air guns have no recoil to speak about.
AND silencers are totally legal with NO government license needed!
Even my .50 Evanix Sniper is silent and deadly!
All you hear is the impact of the round down range!

I could hook you up with Texas Air Gunners that would LOVE to help you out!
Did you know if it's your land you could even sell Hog hunts?
To sell hunts you would need a hunting lease license.
If you allowed hunters and did not take any compensation you don't need that.
They would not even need a license if they have permission to hunt your property!

Right now I'm working on getting a AEA Zeus .72 cal for a Buffalo kill in Wyoming!
Here's the key to kills with Air Guns.
We know the limitations of our Guns. We NEVER take a wild body shot knowing full well our rounds have a limited amount of FPE at POI.
Good shooters ONLY take head shots to insure a quick and humane kill.
We study the intended target to know best placement of the used round.
One can, and many have, dropped Big Hogs with a simple .22 cal Break barrel!

How good are Air Gunners?
A recent example of shooting in Iowa.
I and a friend met south of Sioux City to plink targets.
We had cans of soda set up at 75 yards and exploded them with ease!
Some Powder Burner people showed up and mentioned "Those Guys are shooting 'BB Guns'!" And laughed.
As we sat there they wasted a butt load of ammo shooting at 2 foot targets at 30 and 40 yards and missing them about 90% of the time!
Given they were about 30 yards away I loudly said "I could take those weapons away from them before they could take my BB Gun!"
Guess who was real interested in our GUNS from that point forward?

I must remind you in case you forgot :yep:

Perhaps a good ol' Texan resource on the subject could shed some light...

My advice: boars are known to be angry, vindictive beasts; if you see them approaching with bottles of BBQ sauce, run like hell...




<O>

You mean i should not try to lure them to the grill, with those BBQ sauce bottles in my hand ...
We see them now and then here in the forest, mostly wild sows with piglets, but they never entered our ground/garden around the house. Roe deer with kids, foxes, martens, hedgehogs yes, they come very close.

Run from a pig? Texas is a stand your ground state and has some of the best BBQ pit masters in the U.S.

Must admit the first thing that came into my mind when I read the first comment was Asterix and his friend Obelix, who is a big lover of whole BBQ wild hogs.

Back to serious discussion.

We have some problem at the Danish German border. The Danish government has build a very long fence to prevent these wild pigs entering Denmark.

The funny thing is, for every xxx meter there's xx meter gap so other not so harmless animal can pass.

Kind of like our southern border.

Like snakes, rats etc! :D

All quiet last night. Hard to believe a mere dash of water could run them off but hey, it's raining today and that will help my lawn smooth out.

Certainly are pests, I hope your problem is fixed soon Neal, and permanently!! :oops:

You should be looking at this as a business opportunity. It's Texas, so brisket is king, but BBQ boar is amazing...

Video from last night, just an armadillo, and a crafty one at that.:wah:

https://youtu.be/3vCkwj4vRUc

you should have ran out with the papers to join SubSim navy and assign them to a pig boat

No pigs but our little friend made another trip through, this time the joke's on him.

:har: Take that pest!! :up:

^ well they feed entirely on insects and spiders, problem is they are good at digging.
Be happy that the 10-feet one-ton armadillo Glyptodon has become extinct :D

Well, if the pigs return, I'm ready for them. :shucks:
