- Опубліковано 28 лют 2023
- Wild boar, also known as feral pigs, were not native to the United States. Wild boars were first introduced to the continent in the 1500s by Spanish explorers, who brought domestic pigs with them to use as a food source. Over time, some of these domestic pigs escaped and became feral, adapting to the wild and thriving in various regions throughout the country. Today, there are an estimated 8,900,000 wild boars in America, causing significant damage to crops and natural habitats, and posing a threat to both wildlife and human populations.

They're a lot smarter than you'd think
@@rileysheehan943who says they’re not smart?
Shooting and trapping is a bowel wind against a hurricane. After the most stringent control measures. IF applied. Is the population growth 0,32. So the 7 million during 2022 will be three times that during 2025. Government figures are attempting to bulldusting the public.
Ya and scientists will use their ingenuity dna to enhance humans…
I'm always fascinated by the stories told in Farming Documentaries
A mature male is a Boar. A mature female is a Sow. A castrated male is a Barrow. A pig is an immature hog. A guilt is an immature female. A shoat is a weaned hog. In the US female hogs are not called Boars. Good video.
Like your breakdowns, thanks.
Always wondered the difference between a pig and a hog.
And a "sounder" is a herd of wild swine.
@@scottloar Yes, and that's a very interesting fact. thanks. And Sounders "bed down" together during the daylight hours in shallow dirt depressions the individuals root in dense brushy "safe" areas usually dark and covered with briars. And when the pregnant sow prepares to farrow (have her pigs) she'll make a "nest" under a fallen tree top or very dense Yaupon bushes usually covered with briar. She'll carry dead grasses and straw in her mouth to line the depression for as many as a dozen stripped piglets. Amazing animals. Almost perfectly designed. Their weaknesses are poor A/C systems - they need water to cool themselves often. They don't jump as well as other animals. They have fairly good eyesight but don't use their vision well, because they rely so much on their acute hearing and sense of smell. But very smart and cautious. Smart a dogs.
@@chipkyle5428 All true. Because swine easily become overheated and their skin sensitive they must cool off, thus the typical image of a pig wallowing in a mudhole. In truth they are no dirtier than most animals in the wild although their poop smells to high heaven, only out-stunk (is that a word?) by humans'.
Farmers need more support to solve this problem.
It's not a problem.
The "woke" "progressive" "insane" "godless" "unconstitutional" "satanic" U.S. government is the problem.
Shoot them and eat them 👍👍
I have a 45-70 Henry rifle . Would this help solve this problem ?
@@Downey-2000Yes, swallow a round.
They're all over the place in the Texas Hill Country. It's hard to drive late at night in certain areas. Now, they're coming into the residential areas and chasing morning joggers and dog walkers. They're huge and don't mind being aggressive.
God is coming soon, and he wants to punish the world. abstain from your sins, and follow the 10 commandments!
How do you deal with them?
That's scary. I remember a few yrs ago, they chased a lady down & mauled her to d€@+h. I know it's legal to hunt them but more aggressive action needs to take place.
Damn. Sounds like a town you stumble upon in a RPG. There is a half boar man wizard in the forest controlling the minds of the wild boars. Please hero, help us.
@Tony 98 - Discovery trust me...we shot them
*Incredible how massive those wild pigs can be! Their size during hurricane Harvey was astonishing. Safety measures are crucial.*
These wild boars may be more dangerous than we think
@@tony98discovery Like rabbits, if cornered or provoked enough they will attack. Pet dogs and cats are infinitely more dangerous. Wild pigs encountered, even by drama queens, will try to escape, not attack (outside situations above).
The government cannot ignore the impact of wild boar on farmers' farms.
Wait, i thought right wingers didnt believe in excessive government in their lives!
The federal government is very concerned. However, most family farms are in red states and Republicans want federal "hands off" federal mandated acts in red states. The feral hogs are found often in great numbers on lands controlled by the federal government. These things are now being found in Canada. It may be partially due to weather getting warmer or genes for long thick hair now recessive in domestic pigs that are being triggered by being free.....or a combination. But you're right they are a nightmare. Pigs are very intelligent, very fecund, adaptable, and they omnivorous and not fussy eaters. A sow can farrow 2 litters a year. If you see any on your land .....try to kill them!
@@JaimeGarcia-pe7bj I think the reason they are moving further north is because of the Russian boar genetic stock that was introduced.
The video claimed that Texas has the most, but I think that is probably because Texas looks for them while California tries to pretend there are no wild pig problem in their state. Tx encourages hunting and allows any legal weapon to be used. Ca fought hard to keep restrictions on hunting until they noticed that wild pigs destroy nature as well as farms.
The government is not the solution to ANYTHING!
The Government does NOT WANT TO. Because. I offered consultation as to the simple answer to HUGELY reduce and control wild pig numbers. Amongst other. To the Senator. Governor. And Director USDA-WS of the Texas State Government. No poison what so ever. No shooting. Trapping. No loosing sleep. But as always. Some people in the US of A know all about everything. Much better than all other. Probably why the state of affairs with wild pigs in the USA is the totally out-of-hand Z-up which it is. No deafer than he who does not want to hear. And for those plagued by the pest. My very deepest compassion.
The failure to control wild boars is having serious consequences for US agriculture.
The failure to control wild boars can have serious consequences for US agriculture, as they can cause significant damage to crops and other agricultural resources.
This is a problem right up our alley. We could make them go extinct in a year if we put our minds to it. I understand they are good to eat, too. So, where are the mighty hunters?
@@tony98discovery farmers should pay proffessional hunters to reduce the boar-stock then.
In india we also suffering
@@willempasterkamp862 Many ranchers and farmers do pay hunters/trappers and allow sportsman free access to hunt with dogs or night vision equipment, Many captured hogs are sold for meat and sports hunting. but still the population of wild hogs remains a serious problem.

Заповедник для диких животных сделайте, волков заведите туда, у вас же их много в йелоустонском парке и будет у вас дисбаланс в природе. У нас в России уже очень давно есть заповедники, специальные люди по охране природы следят за тем чтобы животные нормально сосуществовали. И если на одной территории леса того, или иного вида животных стало больше, то их выпускают на другие территории, браконьерство у нас строго присекается в плоть до лишения свободы, охота разрешена только тогда, когда открыт охотничий сезон, но больше чем на одного зверя охотиться не льзя, если животных в лесу мало, сколько можно застрелить зверя, этот вопрос охотники решают с егерями, зависит от количества, и никакого ущерба ни для природы, ни для человека. Если вы продолжите и дальше идти таким путём, то есть всё живое уничтожать, то вы как нация просто исчезните с лица земли. Научитесь бережно относиться к природе, животным, а не уничтожаете их!! Леса должны быть, как можно больше лесов, и в весенее и летнее время вырубать деревья нельзя, а в зимнее можно, но не молодые деревья! И мне вот что интересно, у вас в школах дети урок зоологии, экологии учат, или нет, они хоть знают то, как относиться к природе??
If you have the time and ability you might consider a pack of hog dogs and a weekend hobby of hog hunting. Alternatively if you can afford it you can hire a Professional,or maybe invite a trusted buddy to hog hunt your land. Now I won't be surprised if you have already thought of all of this. But just in case on the off chance that it does help I thought I would throw my 2cents out their. Hog hunting is something I think I'd like to try someday. But we don't seem to have any here in Kentucky.

I lived in rural Spain last year and always wondered about the gun shots I heard. Wild boar is supposedly common here. I suspect that is what I was hearing. With no handguns legal, and me being a resident, but not citizen, I didn't look into gun ownership. But it did stop me from hiking in certain areas. Too bad we can't commercialize boar meat in USA. I guess if it was profitable, we wouldn't have this problem. I love pork, and it's a shame we can't utilize what appears to be abundant in nature. Crazy, as it's obviously hormone and antibiotic free naturally fed meat.
However, these wild boars can carry diseases, so many people do not dare to eat them
Could subsidize the killing of each boar. For each tag, the Federal Gov pays out a $20. Mash the carcass into fertilizer on the governments part after the hunter turns in his 12/12 Boar Livers.
@@joefer5360 😊
@@tony98discovery Can but doesn't as much. Got a few last year, all good meat. The bigger the boar, the bigger the bullet. 9mm doesn't do for chest shots, they just keep coming. Friend had a close call, so he basically dumped the magazine and it slid to a stop in front of him. Movie stuff.
@@tony98discovery Dog food market is very very large. I am sure there are market for them
Boar usually is the male pig !! Most wild pigs are mostly grain fed in the wild , saves on fencing , feeding, and manure removal cost ! Also helps farmers realize hunters are your friends, no more no hunting signs, they begin to ask for hunters !!
Do you have any problems with these wild boars?
@@tony98discovery not yet !
Hunters do little positive towards controlling these pests (they are increasing). IN fact between making them wary & more difficult to control and intentionally liberating them into new areas, hunters are generally as much a problem as pigs.
Some do operate effectively and provide some localised control, those are a very small minority
Wild boar hunting is an essential part of American farmers' agricultural lives
We can only hope so. . .
It's called survival.
I appreciate the sustainable aspect of wild boar consumption as it helps to maintain ecological balance and protect native species.
Wild boars are a pest . They need to be eradicated. They cause millions in damage. And their meat is not good.
Oh, I didnt know there were almost 9,000,000 wild boars in America! That is an amazing number!
Wild boar hunting can be dangerous but rewarding.
Wild boars can cause soil erosion and damage to waterways.
Yes, that's correct. Wild boars can cause significant damage to soil and waterways through their foraging behavior and rooting activities.
@@tony98discovery They also help the native vegetation regenerate. Sheep , cattle are very very destructive .Balance is complicated thing.
The resilience and resourcefulness of American and Canadian farmers are evident as they devise solutions to mitigate the damage caused by millions of wild boars attacking farms.
During hurricane Harvey the wild pigs came into the neighborhood to escape the flooding . You cannot appreciate how big they are. Much bigger than a large dog. I bought outside lights and an automatic garage door opener because a friend of mine stumbled on a group that were between her house and vehicle.
Have you ever hunted wild boar?
If there’s 9 million wild boars out there, how come bacon costs so much?
@@kirkthiets2771 That, detective, is the correct question.

Wild boar hunting in Texas requires skill and patience.
That's right, wild boar hunting in Texas is not for the faint of heart, and requires hunters to possess both skill and patience to be successful.
Skill and patience is there. Aplenty. But the political will to lead, is TOTALLY absent.

I am curious about the ecological impact of wild boar on native plants and animals. Are there any ongoing research projects on this issue?
Well, I don't know about research, but i'm sure we could conclude a few probabilities. There is an impact, but I don't think its enough to notice anything negative. nothing I can think of. If anything, I see a few ecological positives. But many negative problems with humans. I suppose that humans are also part of the ecological though.
They eat mostly vegetation. They are not an apex predator, but have the potential to be a predator, but I doubt they are good at it. They can't catch deer. Maybe rabbits could be a good pray for them. Rabbits, another invasive species. These hogs can kill all the rabbits they want to.
I could see a major impact if they introduce the perfect predator for these guys. Its interesting I think. Would need to be big, and fast. Bears might naturally fill that spot. Give enough time, and bears have all they can eat. They are very fast, big enough to kill the biggest bors. Growing bear populations may become another human problem.
I'm curious about the rate at whiich these bors are evolving intelligence. I think thats very interesting. They breed like crazy, they are already very smart animals. they kill 60% of them every year. Looks like an enviroment for rapid evolution. Give it 200 years, you might have some crazy smart pigs. Only the smart survive sort of situation.
Hundreds of studies. All using the same outhouse. Which. Will. After a silver bullet is found. Which I have offered in consultation. Will all the millions of dollars donated towards studies. Abruptly cease. And all involved in studies be out of work. Mountain zebra syndrome. If it farts it is frightened. And when frightened. It farts.
Never-say-never. But chances for anyone to stand up and partake in what I mentioned. Are for only the very few. Very bold of character.
In Louisiana wild boar have had the most affect on ground nesting birds and deer fawns-now besides boar we have a tremendous black bear expansion-hopefullly the bears will make pork a regular part of their diet-been charged more than a few times while hunting small game-the only thing that saved me from a bad mauling or worse was my shotgun or small caliber rifle-to me the males just run away after a bluff charge-but the females -you have to kill them when they charge at you full steam-if you panic and miss or run you gonna get it
Do you go wild boar hunting?
Black bears are not really predators in any significant way so don’t rely on them to control wild boar populations. I say much better to have massive cookouts.
Large predator like mountain lions cannot keep up with the fast reproductive rate of feral pigs. There's just not that many cats.
Feral pigs need to trapped hunted and eradicated.
In some cases, wild boars may even pose a threat to human safety.

There's a lot of restaurants that serve it in the Netherlands, and I must say it's one of my favourite pieces of venison; even though I like pigs/boars in general :P
A friend had their garden ravaged by wild boars overnight. Its amazing how much devastation they can cause in such a short time.
Are composting pile created so they have access to rotting food and the garden remain untouched? Getting them used to being fed might help when it comes time to 'thin the herd'. I assume they are normally 'marginal areas' that sheep might not like.
Ive encountered wild boars during hikes, quite a sight!
Most do not hunt wild boars/pigs. They are trapped and killed. Before we sold the farm we trapped around 20 a year. Most of the other farms in the area also trapped so it kind of kept them under control. Season is always open no limit kill as many as you can, no need to worry about making a dent in the population. Right now it is just about keeping some kind of control over the massive numbers.
What kind of animals or plants did your farm raise before?
@@tony98discovery We were a small producer, 20 head most often steers. Regulations changed so I could not ship to the nearest auction house which was across the state line. Ended up with 3 choices hire a company and ship them 75 miles south to the next nearest auction house. Buy the trailer needed to ship them or sell everything.
The reason they are so plentiful each year is because a lot of people I know lease their land to hunters. They release a few pregnant feeder hogs each late winter. They usually stay around the hunters corn baiting feeder but breed fast. By winter there are dozens with dozens of piglets from just a couple young sows. These eventually span out as winter progresses but they keep stocking them here in the oxarks
@@inharmonywithearth9982 "Stocking" feral pigs? No offense to you at all but your neighbors are morons!

It underscores the need for collaborative efforts between different stakeholders and authorities to address the challenges posed by wild boars and find effective solutions that protect both rural and urban areas.
I admire hunters who use wild boar meat for sustenance rather than just for sport.
Absolutely, hunters who utilize wild boar meat for sustenance demonstrate a responsible approach to hunting and a deeper appreciation for the resources provided by nature. When hunters prioritize utilizing the meat, it contributes to sustainable wildlife management and reduces waste. It's great to see individuals embracing the concept of hunting for sustenance.
We all know that wild boars cause numerous problems, so why haven't we formulated a specific and effective plan to prevent their invasion? Do we need a specialized agency or organization to address this issue?
Yes, Governments must engage with stakeholders, invest in research and monitoring, and develop evidence-based policies to effectively manage wild boar populations while minimizing negative impacts on ecosystems and human livelihoods.
The wild boar problem is only getting worse, and it's frustrating that there aren't more effective solutions in place to deal with it.
I understand your frustration. Managing the wild boar population can be a complex challenge, and it requires comprehensive strategies. While progress has been made, it's important to continue researching and implementing innovative solutions to address this issue effectively. Cooperation among researchers, farmers, and authorities is vital in finding more sustainable and efficient approaches.
My hunting property is overrun with boar in South Ga. We have hunted and trapped them for years to no avail. They are making it very hard on the deer population because they eat everything. They also kill and eat fawn. A disease is the only thing I believe that would be able to wipe them out.
Do you hunt them often?
@@tony98discovery pretty often. Our main focus is deer but trying to keep the pig population in check is part of that. A female pig is able to breed when it's 6months old so they quickly overrun everything. There are several other hunting clubs around ours and all of them shoot and trap pigs as well. Nothing but a disease will wipe them out.
Perhaps a contraceptive could be added to the feed and reduce the number of pigs born, could be done by the state wildlife agents because of the damage these hogs do to the farms and forests.
@@francesacoy4730 i think in order for something like that to work they would have to regularly eat that feed. I don't think that's really even possible. Definitely don't see a state paying for it. They don't care about the damage to agriculture because they don't have to pay for it.
Wild boar meat has a characteristic hunting meat flavor that can be processed into many different dishes. Well worth a try!
Hunting wild boar sounds like a thrilling experience but also requires skill and caution.
Hunting wild boar can indeed be an exciting experience, but it's important to approach it with skill, knowledge, and caution. Respecting regulations, practicing ethical hunting methods, and ensuring personal safety are paramount. If you're interested, consider joining experienced hunting groups or seeking guidance from experts to ensure a responsible and enjoyable experience.
Encountering a herd of wild boars is a scary memory for me
It's crucial to take measures to prevent the spread of wild boars into new areas to protect ecosystems.
You're absolutely correct. Preventing the spread of wild boars into new areas is crucial to protect ecosystems from their potentially disruptive impact. Implementing proactive measures, such as proper fencing, monitoring, and early detection, can help contain their expansion and preserve the integrity of natural habitats. It's important to prioritize ecosystem protection and work together to prevent further environmental damage.
Wild boars have become a common sight in some areas, and their aggressive behavior poses a danger to both people and pets.
I had a chance to try wild boar, its rich flavor and soft texture is really special.
Farmers and wildlife managers need to work together to find effective solutions.
Collaboration between farmers and wildlife managers is key to finding effective solutions to manage wild boar populations and reduce their impact on agriculture.
There's this centuries old invention, called the GUN, that works really well. There are a couple of older inventions, called the crossbow, and the bow and arrow, that work tolerably well. Individual hunting and trapping work REALLY well. But given their reproduction rates, this alone can only mitigate, not solve, the problem. I recommend that the Texas Governor call up the Texas national guard, and direct the commander to eliminate the feral pig population, starting with the herds near to cities, working to the most afflicted farms and ranches, and work out a grid plan to wipe out feral pigs grid block by grid block, donating the meat to food banks and kitchens for the homeless, and the skins to any leather processors that want it. It would take several years, but the ongoing playoff of reduced crop damage, wildlife habitat restoration, and the building of tracking, reconnaissance, and mission planning skills of the state guard would be worth it. It would also develop that most valuable of all combat skills of all, the ability to hit a running rifle target.
