Porcine invaders from Canada are threatening our border security!

Population Explosion of Canadian “Super Pigs” Could Spread Into the Northern U.S.
A cross between wild boars and domestic pigs, these feral swine can survive cold climates and could create a whole new pig problem for northern states


If they can thrive in -40F Saskatchewan, they'll go nuts in Minnesota! I know they say shooting isn't effective control, but all bets are off if I see one in my vegetable garden.

would not touch a hog carcass. They were normally not picky at all. Adult white tail deer wouldn't leave much more than the hooves and lower legs.

That said.....any DUer that needs an emergency whole hog butchery class please get in touch. Shame to let that meat go to waste.
