Feral Hogs Are A Real Thing | All In | MSNBC

    1. Did you watch the video where Chris says shots are too loud and scare them away? No assault weapons for humans. Useless weapons.

  2. Feral hogs are a very serious problem and have been for years. Part of the problem is that shooting bores, a/k/a feral hogs, is a sport and hunters have been known to illegally transport them across state lines. That is how they can hunt razorback bores in their home states. Of course they don’t think about piffling issues like the law and other people’s right to safety in the wild.
    Swell.

    1. How are these “hunters” taking these extremely violent wild hogs across borders? Are they taking a bunch of pregnant sows with a few large boars? Maybe just taking a boar at a time in the back of their pickup? I’m curious how this happens because the last time I went boar hunting I was praying that the pigs wouldn’t turn my way after the first shot. I couldn’t imagine rounding them up and transporting them any great distance. I guess a lot of “hunters” are out there doing that. Seems legit…

  3. Don’t lie, Chris. This isn’t an actual problem in any way. We googled the hog-related deaths in America, and there have been FOUR. More people have been killed/injured by lightning or falling coconuts.

  4. Get those feral hogs healthy and free from any sickness and you will have loads of foods.

  5. You are NOT going to spray around your kids with an assault weapon, even if there are a lot of feral hogs–and I acknowledge that the feral hogs ARE dangerous. They need to be trapped and killed, but shooting them one at a time isn’t going to do it. Poisoning is another option, but every countermeasure is tough.

  6. In SW Uganda some colleagues and I were eating dinner in a large common hall, when a mama warthog (read ‘sharp-tusked demon with anger issues’) & her kids, pushed open the door and wandered in. All we could do is sit very still while she sized us up. They’re lightning fast. And seeing this news about feral hogs in America?!!? I’ll take my chances in Uganda! 😨😮

  7. Was that guy in the chopper hunting with an AR15? “REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! NOBODY HUNTS WITH ASSAULT RIFLES!”

  8. HOW FITTING, that America is overrun by Feral Hogs under Trump’s Presidency. Are they Orange? 🤣

  9. It’s an invasive species problem.
    They do a lot of damage, I dont even live in the South, but I ran over a carcass of one and blew a tire while driving to TX on I-35.
    They destroy crops, lawns, golf courses, and there are a LOT of them. Its a DNR problem in like 20 states.
    Now here is a LEGITIMATE use of a military style weapon, and these should be made available BY HIGHLY VETTED PERMIT.
    The NRA

  10. Search YT for “feral hog hunt” or similar to see just how devastating this problem is for farmers and ranchers in TX, OK, LA, GA, FL, and a smattering of other places. No, this issue is no joke whatsoever.
