#3 1. Arrest feral yout.
2. Gather feral yout and round up feral pigs, place them together in an enclosed (autonomous) zone.

#9 There was that Mutual of Omaha episode of Wild Kingdom I vaguely recall watching as a child: hunting wild peccaries with dogs and Thompson SMG's in Mexico. Made the impression on me then that some game animals are too much "sport" for me!

#11 The good news is this suggests a solution to the SJW problem.

The bad news is, the meat will be tainted.

#18 How big a round do you need to put down one of these?

One I know of prefers 6.5 Creedmore. That said, SteveS has the short answer. One fellow he whomped decided he wasn't dead. I believe guide has a .45 as a sidearm and was put to use at such a range I feel there is no exaggeration at the narrow distance.
