Invasion of the Feral Hogs

"If you're on here arguing the definition of 'assault weapon' today you are part of the problem. You know what an assault weapon is, and you know you don't need one.” This was tweeted by singer and Alabama native Jason Isbell.

William McNabb of El Dorado, Arkansas, posted this on Twitter in response:  

"Legit question for rural Americans - How do I kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 minutes while my small kids play?"

Wait! How do you what the what where when how who now?

OK, it always something. 

It seems that feral hogs are really an actual thing.  

There are more than 6 million of these cantankerous critters across about 35 states. 

And they are quite the malevolent menace, raiding crops, driving out native species, spreading diseases and generally being hostile, dangerous assholes.

They are also like porcine velociraptors, able to learn from experience.  Persistent hunting can teach pigs to avoid an area and move to where they're harder to catch. 

And feral hogs are profligate little buggers. They can reproduce as early as 6 months old, giving birth to litters of 6 piglets or more several times a year.

So, Mr. McNabb, it appears you may have a valid point as you defend your castle and kin from the ferocious attacks of 30 – 50 feral hogs.

But I have to wonder: just how often do 30-50 feral hogs run into your yard? Is this a regular thing? Once a month? Once a week? Everyday? Several times a day? 

What Mad Max-ish hellscape dystopia do you live in?
