Confused Again?

[sits in trees]

Our great state of NY does nothing better than confused the schiz out of me. The DEC now says its Illegal to shoot wild boars or to set traps for them all while saying they are an invasive species that need to be eradicated¥£#%~??? WTF!

[bowaholic]

they claim that hunters shooting them will break up groups of them and cause them to spread faster and wider across the state.....riiiight!

Yes and like they are better at taking care of that problem then hunters would be?  If you see them on your property you would do yourself a service of taking them out asap. Regardless of what the white shirts say, Will they return your property back to the condition it was before the pigs showed up if you let them live?  I would not bet on it!

Actually, this policy has been in place for quite a few months now. So I am patiently waiting for the reports of DEC success in trapping and eliminating all those piggies. I hate to say it, but I think I'll be waiting a long time for that report ..... ha-ha-ha.

 

The good news is that the DEC must have had a sudden infusion of resources to be able to dedicate personnel to pig-eradication.
