hmmmm
me no likey
Mostly escape artists from pig barns? Never seen any sign. Yet. Why SK isn't covered up in wild turkeys has always been a conundrum. Food for days no matter the snow depth because they pile it up all over the place. Plenty of roosts in old homesites.
I feel like controlling pigs on the plains would be a pretty simple fix.
Not like they have swamps to retreat and hide.
Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
The problem out there is the endless amounts of food. I agree with you in that the swamps provide a retreat area for them around here, but when I go out to Tx it amazes me there is nothing but mosquite trees and open fields yet they are every where more so than here.
You can use different methods like running them down with helos, and or making a gun buggy and just hosing them in the dark while riding from field from field.
But like Tx in those vast open spaces they can just hide in plain sight. Maybe a ditch or the back side of ant mount.
I agree with your assessment, but with the food and space and their breeding ability it is more difficult than one would think.
Yup, he's crazy...
like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.
Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

There are plenty of flooded thickets that you can't see 3 full grown moose standing in at 30 yards up there...
Yeah, but those “sloughs” as they call aren’t terribly large and are spread out correct?
Could be a mile or so to the next one. I feel like nothing could hide from a helicopter and a thermal, and it should be easy and quite fun to eradicate every single one out of a herd.

apparently, the canadian farmers arent worried....but I can see the future. and the future is me coming up there to help them eradicate pigs in the summer so I can come back in the fall to whack some ducks.
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
and has anyone else followed the ringneck maps? pretty interesting stuff....and a photographer from MN happened to take a pic of one of the two ringos carrying a transmitter. the chances of that are one in a bazillion....

Many of them run like creek bottoms for miles and miles. Some might not be 50 yards wide but thick as it gets. Like an SC creek with stink mud for days to play in on the edges.
