A desperate, bloody war in Texas

just get a 308 with good IR Scopes and have some fun!!

Getting rid of the carcasses would be a pain though, we have the same problem here in Australia with feral pigs, they do make a mess!

Can't shoot late at night, people don't like that when they're sleeping

Plus, IR scopes cost $4000, I would ratcher tackle the pigs with a kitchen knife than cough up that kind of cash !

Thinking about buying a crossbow....

You would be surprised what a modern air rifle can do these days. Even a poor man’s Hatsan .25 cal behind the ear at 15 yards could drop that critter dead in its tracks. Silent But Deadly.

Mine is synthetic stock with folding bipod and a Monstrum 4x20 scope.

Considering the size of feral hogs in Texas (100-400 lbs.) I don't think I would use anything smaller than a .243 since you want to kill them, not wound them.

You could always trap them and shoot them at your leisure after Sunup.

This.

The link to the pigbrig I listed seems pretty straightforward. They go under the net but then can't lift it up to get back out - trapped and ready to be dispatched with your forearm of choice.

TBH having a Subsim member stand watch would be your best bet.

Offer them a free copy of Aces of the Deep (

) and they'll do it.
