There are 6 million feral hogs in the U.S.

Here, in this county in the video, they are only paying $2 a tail bounty on them. It'd cost you more than that in bullets, not to mention gas and other expenses. Who'd bother?

Who'd bother?

People who still know what pork is supposed to taste like?

We had/have a big problem with hogs at Fort Stewart. Hogs + night + 30 mile highway to base with no lights = at least one accident per week. Then there was that one time they appeared on the mortar range...
