Well then I apologize for misinterpreting the thrust of your post. Since this long running thread is on the Unwound Third Jam Session board, where things are a little more loose, naturally things will evolve to reflect the concerns of the times. Gigantic pigs are currently less interesting to us, who live "out beyond the black stump" (as kiwis would say), than the prospect of getting gored by one or more on a spring walk in the woods. I'm not about to start carrying a .45 with me on those jaunts, I want the risk reduced.

I'm fairly pissed at the idiots who caused this environmental catastrophe, all for their own hunting pleasure. Doesn't mean we can't continue marveling at the giant hog stories. They are not mutually exclusive.

Hi all,
Here's a way to deal with the problem, at least with regard to the offspring of the wild pigs:



All best,

Fascinating. The bicycle wheel seem superfluous, but on the other hand I have never successfully trapped a pig.

It keeps me thinking about smoked pork ribs.  Maybe not enough fat on them...but I wonder if anyone has tried this hybrid for pork ribs. heh

Slack, are there Javelinas down your way? Saw a squadron of them at Bosque Del Apache last week.

Yes, we have some in the Franklin mountains, many more are in south Texas however.  Love Bosque del Apache - assume the sandhill cranes were still hanging out?

They're still there, along with the Snow Geese, fewer than last year. Heading back down on Thursday.

Well Slack, I hope they don't start moving north. Gotta give them credit though, for defeating "a heavily armed Ted Nugent."
