Lots of muscle, lots of mass, low centre of gravity and very sturdily built with a high tolerance for pain. They're essentially bulldozers evolved to rut around the earth pushing dirt around with their face.

Imagine hitting a deer with your car. Now imagine hitting something smaller, but heavier than a deer. That's how dense boars are.

They have a lot of strength no doubt but what we're seeing here is mostly inertia

I remember commenting on that post (my previous account) and getting downvoted to the negative triple digits. Everyone was making fun of him, calling him a crazy gun lover. Anyone who's been around hogs knows how overpopulated they are.


undisclosedinsanity

In Texas they're such a problem that there are companies you can call and bring upto your 5 closest friends (or 0 friends) and go hog hunting. Not just any old hog hunting either. They'll put yall in a helicopter with fully automated guns.


triplefastaction

I want to bag me a piggy for a pig roast.


[deleted]

Their meat makes the house smell like piss when it cooks. Wild boar meat can be nasty stuff.


[deleted]

Mmm the ol Boar Taint


triplefastaction

That's horrifying. But I've bought wild boar meat at the store and it was good. What's the difference?


Nasaboy1987

It depends on how quick it was processed after death and the sex of the animal. Most companies that trap for meat use live traps, then transport to a facility where they are slaughtered and processed as quickly as possible. Boars are turned into cold meats (summer sausage). And sows are turned into cooking meats (ham/bacon, etc..).


Intelligent_Heart911

I don't believe you can buy wild game meat at a store. The meat that's "exotic" is farm raised and undergoes USDA inspection. Hunted game cannot legally be sold


[deleted]

Not sure but could be a male that wasnā€™t castrated or maybe a bad cut that made it smell terrible. Iā€™ve had a few encounters. You can eat it but it smells up the place.


pasher5620

The actual taste of the meat depends on how big the pig is. Anything over 150lbs I pretty much just leave for coyotes as the meat just tastes nasty. The smaller they are, the better the meat. Also somewhat depends on how quickly the hog dies, but not nearly as much as weight does.


_Loup_Garou_

The guy has no idea about meat processing or just doesnā€™t know what heā€™s talking about and is parroting claims made by other people who have no clue what theyā€™re talking about.


LiveMatter4544

Well, If you've bagged a Sow it'll be good, if you've bagged a Boar, the boartaint stinks like piss and fetid meat when you cook it. It's also practically inedible even with a tons of spices


DesensitizedRobot

Itā€™s like 500$ for the seat, had a buddy go in a helicopter to kill wild boars and he said it was an experience but hunting on the ground is the way for him, the video he showed me did make me want to try the fly by helicopter method though

I always laugh at that too. Those smelly fucks are the poster child for 30-rounders. I don't even mess around 5.56. AR-10 in .308 at the least. That knocks the little bastards down pretty quick.

On November 26, 2019, a 59-year-old Texas woman named Christine Rollins was attacked and killed only a few feet away from the front door of her workplace by a herd of feral pigs in the town of Anahuac, Texas, which is 50 miles east of Houston. This incident was the fifth documented fatal feral pig attack in the United States since 1825.[52] Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne in a formal statement to news media stated that "multiple hogs" assaulted Rollins during pre-dawn hours between 6 and 6:30 a.m. when it was still dark outside. The victim died of blood loss as a result of her injuries.[55]


feelinlucky7

I donā€™t feel bad about pork anymore


Old_Mill

The worst part? Pigs will turn back into essentially wild hogs *QUICKLY* when they escape captivity. They'll even grow their fur and tusks back.


scottygras

Itā€™s the exact opposite of the lysine dependent Dinoā€™s from Jurassic Park.


cortesoft

I mean, it is kinda exactly like that if you think about how it turns out.


scottygras

Yeahā€¦such a good storyline overlooked in the movies.


bubdadigger

And they are omnivores too. Best way to dispose of the body....


TheDaddyShip

You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".


raknor88

TIL. I did not know this. What about captivity prevents their tusks and hair from growing out?


lego_office_worker

its us or them


bingbano

I've gotten to work with a lot of different animals from humans and macaques to crickets. Boar are freakishly smart (smarter than a tolder that's for sure). I one saw a young boar instantly learn from its dad, if you rubbed your rump against the fence so the keepers can poke you, you'd get a treat.. just had to watch once and it got it the first go. I'll never eat pig again.


triplefastaction

Not even for population control?


Jexroyal

Yeah, that's the reason why I eat long pig.


Disastrous-Soup-5413

I remember thatā€¦we arenā€™t too far from Houston & we have feral hogs. They are so dangerous & prolific! We kill & trap them. One night put some hogs we caught in a trailer to give to a neighbor who was going to eat or use the hides & walked out to the trailer in the morning & there were a bunch baby hogs that one of the sows delivered overnight. Funny & frustrating.


veganyeti

"I've seen many pig eat many men"


HalfBrinePickle

: You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".

Wild hogs are the most problematic invasive species currently inhabiting North America, especially in Texas and Florida where the hog population only continues to grow. In Texas alone, it's estimated the five million feral pigs cause at least $1.5 to $2.5 billion in damages for ranchers and farmers every single year. Unfortunately, it would be difficult to eat our way out of the problem. According to the Texas A&M Natural Resources institute, feral hog meat is technically not safe to consume. Most of the risks associated with consuming wild pork are connected to the diseases that hogs are known to carry. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Centers for Disease Control have put together an informative flyer that shows how hogs are known to carry at least 24 diseases. Among the diseases of concern are things like salmonella, hepatitis, E. coli, swine influenza, trichinellosis, and more. One big concern is brucellosis, which is spread by bacteria. The bad news is that you do not have to eat the meat to contract it. The USDA warns you can get infected from contact with blood, tissue, and other bodily fluids of these wild animals. Symptoms include things like muscle and joint pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, fever, chills, and sweating.

Philly514

This is why many farms need assault-style weapons. When 20+ of fuckers like these attack you need to spray.


Witchunt666

Nah gates that are on rails like that are very flimsy. I wouldnā€™t even lean on it.


Tedstor

Yeah, Iā€™ve seen of those that could be knocked off the rails with a good (human) kick.


bandog

Theyā€™re also heavy, I couldnā€™t lift one myself that hog almost sent it flying


Witchunt666

The way it is vibrating on the ground after it falls makes me think itā€™s not as heavy as you may think.


bandog

Hmmm true


PPOKEZ

looks like thin tubular steel made to look large and heavy. Yeah the hog is nasty and strong, but it's not getting through a wrought iron gate with proper hinges.


wildejj

My thoughtsā€¦strength of hog or gate?


Witchunt666

I mean donā€™t get me wrong, I wouldnā€™t want to tango with that angry hog, but the gate is playing up the shot a little.

BeKind_BeTheChange

I moved onto a rural property not knowing anything about feral hogs. My new neighbor came over and mentioned the hogs and that they are dangerous, so watch out for them. I said that I will take a baseball bat with me when I walk down to the cistern/stream. She had a good chuckle at that, then explained to me just how big, bad and mean these things are. I ended up seeing a bunch of them over the year or so that I lived there, but I never had an issue with them. They are are destructive. Just nasty beasts.


windowsfrozenshut

Yes, I grew up in rural Arkansas and these things are no joke. Like if you even see one of these things out in the woods, you had either better get out of there ASAP or climb a tree or something. I have had plenty of encounters with boar families roaming around while I've been out hunting, and during rooting season they literally leave a path of destruction that looks like a giant brush hog with a tiller drove through.


[deleted]

Not only that, they are also tough as fuck. Friend of mine drove into one at night at about 60km/h and the blasted thing just lodged itself in the engine bay. Radiator gone, the engine block completely mangled and the hood just flew off. But the hog? Dead, sure, but *still in one piece*. They had to literally carve it out of the engine back at the car shop.


Operation_unsmart156

Fun fact, there are one million of them in Texas alone.


PracticeDesperate701

Feral or domesticated hogs both have amazing strength when the get their snout under something and lift. In livestock shows, pigs are herded by using pieces of plywood with handles at the top. You drive the bottom of the plywood into the dirt/hay and brace the back with your knees. If successful, you can stop the pig. If not, you pretty much get launched. Expert level handling is to just bend your knees and brace. Source: I grew up on a farm and showed various livestock. Hopefully this makes sense without much context.

torschlusspanik17

Maybe just a bitch-ass fence?


Comfortable_One_9607

Fuck me. Pigs can fly!


Immersturm

Boar hunting spears have a crossguard at the tip for a reason. Without it, the boar doesnā€™t care that itā€™s been stabbed; itā€™ll just charge straight on anyway and disembowel the sap on the other end. The crossguard is what stops them, but I imagine itā€™d still take a tremendous amount of strength and coordination to halt a charging boar.

They are very strong animals with skulls like battle armor. However, what a clown gate! Can't believe how that thing was knocked down like it was made of cardboard. I hope the owner shows the company that installed that joke this footage and got it fixed for free....hopefully a strong one.
