Pretty sure he was joking...be chill

He is not the first person to suggest we bring these in on purpose as a new hunting species. It reminds me of all the people who think releasing carp from their homeland is a good idea.

I hope all the farmers who give you permission to hunt sees your opinion on one of the worse pest to a farm, both their crops and livestock.

If they see your post you may just lose your hunting land.

I own my own land so i could care less. I see every year how many acres of crop get destroyed by the local deer and bear in my area, and its far more than most would think. Doesnt seem to be an issue of concern, just accept it and move on. Maybe if we had them in this province it would bring farmers land owners and hunters to have better working relations.

Hunters and farmers used to have great working relations but hunters ruined it. When they tell you not to drive through the field don't drive through the field because you are too lazy to walk. The number of incidents from lazy or dirty hunters is huge.

If you think deer and bear can do damage add in one of the most prolific reproducers with a rooting ability. If you have not seen what pigs can do on dirt maybe contact a pig farmer who pastures them, it is insane, nothing like what a deer can do. Deer will eat the crop, pigs will make it so nothing can grow again for years.

Maybe,you could contact farmers in western NY,Pennsylvania,Virginia and Kentucky and ask them what the damage is like from one or two sounders of Wild Hogs. They'd sure be glad to explain it to you. New York has put a moratorium on hunting them. Some whack job academic came up with the ridiculous notion that when they're hunted,the reproductive cycle adapts to compensate and there's a higher birth rate and shorter gestation period resulting in more Hogs,not less. It's still an unproven theory,but sounds like animal rights BS to me.

That’s what they say about coyotes....the more we shoot, the more pups they have...

Only thing about that which would worry me, is do I have enough Ammo.

Theres been carp in the great lakes and tributaries for years and years. What have they done to ruin the great lakes fisheries? The salmon in the great lakes have whipped out far more fish than any carp ever has in the same waters.

Canines are different with their social system though, only the Alphas breed unless there is a population drop then the others start to breed, so if coyote populations get low in an area then yes they will have more babies.

Pigs do not work like this, they have multiple litters a year and do not have that sort of society.

Asian carp, snakehead, lots of other fish have been introduced relatively recently that are decimating other fish stocks.
Bass being moved on trains to Northern Ontario destroyed native fisheries.

Taken directly from the Ontario website: " If Asian carps become established in Ontario waters, they could potentially eat the food supply that our native fish depend on and crowd them out of their habitat. " not to mention diseases and parasites that can be introduced when people release foreign fish into Ontario waters.
