Invincible? Does .243 bounce off of them?

The link is NOT to "squeal like a pig.com" ... had to do a double-take to make sure. Didn't click the link just in case.)
The super pigs have already traversed across the international border, dipping into at least North Dakota. So, expect an even greater occurrence as the hybrid population only grows. Like on public transit, if you see something, say something. The Squeal on Pigs website makes that even easier.

I thought the same thing, maybe "cagey" but hardly invincible. I'm thinking a 6.8 might be just the kryptonite needed. Seems everyone likes to sensationalize these days for the "clicks".

Saw this article a couple days ago:

Canadian farmers created a giant deadly "super pig" that can survive brutal winters. Now it's set to invade the United States.

The bad news: You're gonna have 600-pound wild hogs running through your yard.

notthebee.com

from the article:

Brook and others are particularly troubled by the emergence of a "super pig", created by farmers cross-breeding wild boar and domestic pigs in the 1980s. The result was a larger swine, which produced more meat, and was easier for people to shoot in Canadian hunting reserves.
These pigs escaped captivity and swiftly spread across Canada, with the super pig proving to be an incredibly proficient breeder, Brook said, while its giant size – one pig has been clocked at more than 300kg (661lbs) – makes it able to survive the frigid western Canada winters, where the wind chill can be -50C.

Had to do a search, anybody remember Hogzilla? It was a wild boar/domestic hybrid that was between 800-100lb.(depending on sources). That's a lot of bacon!

 

[Cavman]

Still waiting on all the wild hogs that were supposedly coming from the south to get here

 

[snapping turtle]

Hmmmm bacon.

 

[jwamplerusa]

Any guess if 6.5 Grendel will put one down? I'm gonna guess yes.

New Hunting opportunity?

Just saw this info on my gold wing forum. Thought some of you might be interested, I did not catch the date of the article, so it may be old hat. https://www.fieldandstream.com/conservation/canada-wild-pig-population-explosion/

I saw a video where they killed a hog with .308 and found .357 embedded in its hide.

I wonder if my 3" 12 gauge slugs might have something to say about their invincibility.

 

[fullmetaljesus]

Bring it. I'd love another chance to put rounds down range at wild pigs. Lots of fun and good eatin.

 

[snapping turtle]

Hmmmm bacon.

Let me re phrase this.


Hmmmm Canadian bacon.

Hmmmm Canadian bacon.

Leave it to the Canadians to make bacon boring.

We shot a pig that had 3 rottweiler slugs in his shoulder. His leg was 5" shorter than the other.

be me, 2035

backpacking in the HNF by myself six miles from the trailhead

carrying a Sig Spear with full pressure .277 AP due to threat environment

get rushed by 1,400 pound superpig, it takes 15 rounds to finally bring it down

game warden appears after hearing the gunfire

"hey guy it's wanton waste if you leave that meat lying there"
