Pigs in Texas

[long450]

I went to my lease this last week and managed to shoot 8 of them. All were under 150 yards. Shot with AR platforms - 6AR Turbo, 90 grain ELDX, 2900 fps and 6.5 Creedmoor with 140 Nosler Partition, 2700 fps. One at night (11 pm) with Pulsar thermal. The two largest were pushing 200 lbs.

They usually come and go on my property. Due to all the rain we've had the past few months, they have been here quite a bit rooting around. I hope to keep the sounders around for a bit. My daughter is graduating in a month and our families are coming. Hoping there will be a target rich environment for them.

Those Texas pigs are no joke. Biggest one I killed was several years ago, weighting in right at 300lbs. Dropped her where she stood with my .223.

My son killed a couple boars last month down there on a sheep hunt. Took a 210 Berger from a 300 win mag like a champ. Insanely tough critters.

They are gonna allow poisoning pigs in Texas. Beware, do not eat the blue fat ones! Poison dyes their fat blue! Warfarin based toxicant!

Going to allow "who" to put out poison for hogs?

I hadn't heard that about the poisoning

This sounds like a stupid plan. If you shoot them and can't process them to eat most will just leave them . Other animals will eat the carcass and it will poison them .

Write up was from Texas Farm Bureau. Any one with an applicators license and a "special" feed can start poisoning as it becomes available. Kaput is the maker. Sid is bound and determined to poison pigs! Warfarin is not the simply "go to sleep poison" that they claim. Some pigs die slowly and loudly over a day to sometimes a week! Special feeder and low dosage is said to limit the collateral damage! Rats are now warfarin resistant now! How long will it take the pigs to wise up! After the 1080 disaster you would think they would learn on poison!
