A desperate, bloody war in Texas

It is their world, too. No one gives a sh!t about their natural environment and resources.

Yep, it was their back garden long before humans invaded it, knock all the buildings down and move somewhere else, preferably on another continent.

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.

how does it do on full size hogs on video they look like small hogs what i seen on Neal cam they look full size course you know Texas everything grows bigger in Texas

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.

What are you saying? I need to leave and let the hogs take over?

I pay property taxes and they don't.

Yeah, that's a good idea, Les. I think a crossbow would do the trick. And it is legal to kill feral hogs all year, day or night.
