A WILD HOG THAT SOME FRIENDS KILLED.

C. 2024

[bumblebeeappletree]

Wild hogs are destroying everything in Texas, and around the world many ecosystems face similar problems. Is killing invasive species and serving them for dinner the best solution?

We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means.

Texas Hogs

Last March, my mom, aunt, and cousin set out on a road trip to Texas, to visit my other cousin and embark on our first hog hunt. It was an unforgettable experience. Armed with rifles and a map, we set out before dawn, eager to track down some big hogs. After hours of walking rugged terrain, we finally encountered a wild hog, and our hearts raced with excitement. A few shots later, with heavy hearts, we missed. It was still an amazing experience that not many people can say they have encountered. Our adventure ended with us eating amazing food that my cousin's dad had smoked for us all day. After we played games and reflected on the bond we shared and the memories we had made in the Texas countryside.

If YOU have been ambushed and/or injured/attacked by 30 to 50 feral hogs, then you may be entitled to compensation!

(And possibly a free high-powered rifle)

Jokes aside this is probably a real ad in Texas or some other such places in America.

Preparing For a Multi-Day Texas Hunting Trip: How to Set Up Camp

A multi-day hunting trip to Texas, especially for wild pig hunting, is different and unique in its own way. Therefore, in Texas, because of the great expanses, diverse wild animals, and several hunting spots, there is just about everything that makes hunts prosperous.

When man began hunting hogs with dogs, things were very simple. Most likely, it was a man armed with a spear or bow and whatever canine or canines he could find to run and bay the hog. Once the hog was held at bay, the hunter would sneak in and attempt to kill the hog with crude weaponry. The prey had to be close and occupied by the dog so the hunter could execute the kill. If the hunter failed, he didn’t eat. It was that simple.

Today, it’s still a man and his dog, but that’s where the similarities end. The modern pack of hog dogs has specialists. You have the “bay” dogs—usually black mouth curs—whose job it is to find the hogs either by trailing or winding them and then to get them stop. This is generally accomplished when the hogs feel that they are in a good position to defend themselves. I have seen hogs take to a stock tank, river, creek, cave, culvert, or brush pile, but usually just a thicket. Then you have the “catch” dogs that are led in and released so they do not have to run very far before reaching the hogs.

The catch dogs are usually strong and compact, with some bulldog breeding, the most popular being the American pit bull terrier. While these dogs are quick, their conformation is not for running long distances especially while wearing a Kevlar vest with which most hunters suit their catch dogs before turning into a bay.

In addition to the vest, all dogs are equipped with a GPS collar, so the hunter knows the location of the dog at all times. Not only will the collars give the dog’s location, they give the hunter the ability to discipline the dog by electrical stimulation from over a mile away.

Today, most hog hunters running dogs hunt from specially equipped utility task vehicles (UTVs) making it quicker and easier to get to the bay and over rugged and brushy terrain. Many have trailers built to haul the dogs and all their specialty equipment, feed and water as well as room to haul the UTV. In addition to the custom trailer, you need a ¾ ton four-wheel drive truck to tow the loaded trailer. This can be a very expensive habit.

Many times I have described hog hunting with dogs as “controlled chaos.” The better the dogs, the chaos is more controlled.

Stop comparing 300 Blackout to 7.62x39.

Yes, the story goes that people were trying to make the 5.56 cartridge have ballistics closer to a 7.62x39. However, cartridge has ballistics that are actually closer to a 30 carbine. That's fine, but it's not a 7.62x39. The ol soviet round is pretty much the 308 Winchester's little brother. Except the 308 Winchester is doing 2400fps with a 178gr projectile, while the 7.62x39 is doing it with a 123 gr round. (with a 16" barrel). The 300 blackout is can barely hit 2300 fps with a 110gr projectile. The 30 carbine, does about 2100 fps with a 110gr round - and people complained about the efficacy of that round, comparing it to a 357 magnum.

Don't get me wrong, every cartridge mentioned above is a great cartridge and each has its own pros and cons and I would feel comfortable shooting some sort of hog with each. But a 300 blackout is not a 7.62x39. It's more like a 30 carbine.

Exploring the Thrill of Hog Hunts and Turkey Hunts

Hunting in the United States offers a diverse range of experiences, and two of the most exhilarating are hog hunts and turkey hunts. Both present unique challenges and rewards, making them popular among hunters of all skill levels. This article will delve into the excitement and intricacies of hog hunting and turkey hunting, highlighting what makes each pursuit special.

The Allure of Hog Hunts

Hog hunts have gained popularity across the country, particularly in states like Texas, Florida, and Georgia. Wild hogs, also known as feral pigs or wild boar, are an invasive species with a rapidly growing population. This makes them a prime target for hunters looking to help control their numbers and protect local ecosystems.

Why Hog Hunts Are Popular:

Year-Round Hunting: Unlike many other game animals, hogs can be hunted year-round, providing continuous opportunities for hunters.

No Bag Limits: Many states do not impose bag limits on hogs, allowing hunters to take as many as they can harvest.

Challenging Prey: Hogs are intelligent, wary, and often nocturnal, making them a challenging and rewarding hunt.

Environmental Impact: Hunting hogs helps reduce their destructive impact on agriculture and native habitats.

helicopter hog hunting right next to that guy (in the town i live in lol) is also really expensive but I wanna do it once i get my degree. they let you full auto belts through an m240 from the skies

man i can almost guarantee you the cost is from the helicopter and the machine gun. anything to do with a helicopter is involved as hell and frankly i'm keen to leave them the fuck alone, i would literally fly a small cessna solo with zero instruction solely relying on my Nerd Ass Flight Simulator skills but never a helicopter. they work in direct defiance of gods will

not having to load a whole mag for 4 seconds of fun doesn't rly offset the whole "$60 of ammo gone in a flash" thing for me. esp. these days

right after i got out of school i worked this really shit remediation job and one of the guys in my crew was this Giant Cornfed Redneck motherfucker who had a bunch of land in central texas with a hog problem, he wanted to start a business doing hog hunting trips & i made him a website or some shit and he took me out. i think the conversation actually started with a dick measuring contest about the guns we owned, he was trying to tell me hogs mean business and 9mm won't cut it. "sure ill bring my AK", he told me itd better be an AKM since 5x45 won't cut it. thought he was bullshitting but nooooope

kinda sucked in the end. me and him did not have much in common (natch) and i do not like to traverse terrain by foot because of wet + hot + gross + computer programmer. there could be a disclaimer here for the tumblr crowd saying "ohhh hogz are so bad, they are invasive, they are extremely destructive, they are nasty creatures" which is all true but i was there from blood lust from computer games

the pack we found, we didn't scout, we heard them fucking barreling towards us, which is when it kinda sunk in, in my mind, "oh wow, this is extremely dangerous, this is frightening, those are huge animals, they are very fast, they are certainly trying to kill me, this is actually gay, wtf". i took an embarrassing amount of shots for hits i landed due to Shaky Hands which never heard the end of for the weekend (city slicker).

they are no fucking joke though, i swear, bullets would either bounce off them or they'd shrug them off, they would never ever seem to stop charging unless you shot limbs off or they lost a puzzling amount of blood. my pal wanted to cook them but he cut one open and it was literally pure blue on the inside which is the effect of some kind of poison the state uses to thin their populations safely while conveying message of "DO NOT EAT" to corpse-finders

to be honest i prefer the computer room. it was scary enough but the worst was laying down to go to bed like "i killed a bunch of mammals today", "those things had brains, thoughts" which ive never shaken off.

More requests (me have lots of ideas but zero writing skills-)

South Park meeting reader who is like hella countrysided. Like hunting, fishing, accent, even has a few horses and a farm she goes to occasionally.

Or how they would react to being kicked off a horse lmao. - Marshmellow

MARSHMELLOW YOU SPOIL ME! 5 REQUESTS BACK TO BACK!? ofc I'm doing the south park ones first bc I need to think on the vikings ones, and also I'm more familiar with country stuff

we'll do the main four x country!reader platonically

On the first day of school you show up in dusty steel toe boots, Wrangler jeans, and a beat up hoodie

of course you stood out, and of course Mr. Garrison told the main four to show you around (and be your friend)

"So uh, where are you from?"

"Texas, much colder 'ere than there but atleast it ain't wind cold!"

the boys looked so confused when your accent busted out

like huh? what did you just say?

"Texas? so yer a hick? do you fuck your cousins?"

"SHUT UP FATASS! OF COURSE SHE DOESNT FUCK HER COUSINS!"

you were taken aback by Eric and Kyle's outbursts

but being from Texas meant you had a mouth of your own

"Now listen 'ere tubby tubby, I ain't no damn hick, yer thinking of more east than Texas. and fer fucking my cousins that's some Alabama shit that I don't partake in. You insult my culture one more damn time and I'll hog tie you up in a tree fer the wild kitties to play with. We got an understandin'?"

that shut him up right quick

after that you invite the boys over to your ranch where horses and cattle roam free

Kenny loved all the taxidermied animals that were hung on the wall, all shot and killed by you and your dad

the others... not so much, it mostly creeped them out that you have a wild boar hanging on the wall, stuffed or not

you ever seen that video where the guy in the bathroom is touching a taxidermied deers balls and gets caught?

yea that's Eric in your bathroom when he sees a bucks ass sitting above your toilet on the wall

"You boys wanna do some real cowboying? we got a young bronco that needs broken in and you fellas are gonna help"

when they got out to the ring and saw the young bronco they all thought oh this won't be so bad

until they saw you get bucked off of it

eyes wide jaws dropped

CARTMAN: he didn't even last as long as you did on the little guy

"I WANT MY MUUUUUM!"

STAN: he was freaked out but kept a level head, he lasted for a decent time but still got bucked off

"How the hell do you do this? My whole body is screaming!"

KYLE: he was like Stan, except he vocally expressed his fear by screaming the entire time

"GET ME OFF THIS DAMN THING!"

KENNY: for shits and giggles Kenny once rode a mechanical bull so this wasn't different... except it was a live young bronco who was much meaner

"oh my God! the horse killed kenny!"

"you bastard!"

you as a being was a total culture shock to them, but all in all yall remain good friends, and somehow you keep Eric in place with the hog tie threat every time

I think Amanda just meant Texas by the way of her connecting flight from Nashville to OKC and then back home from OKC to Orlando. There are very few direct flights from OKC and a lot of them connect through Dallas or Houston.  I think she was probably quickly in and out of OKC herself. I doubt she flew with Blake and was ever at the ranch. That seems like a whole different group of people there now. 3 or 4 hunting buddies perhaps? Feral hogs are terrible this year in that part of OK and they’re making a push to eliminate as many as possible before spring hunting.
