Yeah I don't think we want boar up here, all the damage they cause. Most likely move the deer out as well. Let the Southerners keep their problem. I hear there is no way to keep them out of a field or anything else.

Another person who does not understand the damage they can do. I wonder if the farmers that let you hunt know of your opinion on wild pigs?Quote:

During this last election campaign I heard of a number of city hunters who specifically said they "did not give a s*** what farmers and rural people thought", this opinion on hogs being welcomed runs right along those same lines.Quote:

Farmers are not rich, farmers are in massive amounts of debt and work 24/7 365 days a year so survive and many take on a second full time job on top of that. I am sure that these farmers would love to know the real opinions of the people they are letting use their land for nothing.
Are you talking to all hunters from the "city" or just one in particular?Quote:

He does paint with a pretty broad brush.Quote:

Fox try reading what I wrote.
Well I dont think you have met most hunters, as in any group there are some rotten apples but in general I have found the complete opposite. Most hunters I have dealt with are very respectful of the farms and to the farmers that own them they hunt.Quote:

I think painting every hunter from the "city" as bad people and ignorant is wrong and completely incorrect.
P.s. I would love to hunt wild boar but most certainly not at the cost of all the damage they do to not only farms but natural habitat as well.
