Too many birds around your airfield? Get some pigs!

Feral Hogs - Google it and see the scale of the problem in the US. They stroll through my yard from time to time, unperturbed. Never get near a Sow with her litter near by. She will react like a Grizzly Bear with cubs. The reports of what happens if you hit a big Boar at speed are accurate. Just near me, a guy on a motorcycle broadsided one at night. The Hog survived and fled the scene. The "pilot" of the two wheeled Hog did not.

Some years ago in Phoenix, a landing airliner hit a drunk man trying to play chicken with the aircraft. As I remember the aircraft was not damaged, but the drunk suffered substantially.

Guess I will shelve my suggestion to replace pigs with drunks.

The possibility of pigs flyinghas always been questionable.

But often raised, so there may be something in it.

Feral hogs down here are terrible. I have been places where it looks like a bulldozer went through. The fix that works best is "Kill it and grill it". Dennis

I’m not sure even that works but if you do be very careful in the butchering and thoroughly cook The meat!!!!
Brucellosis and trichinosis are nothing to take the slightest Chance with

Most of the feral hogs in my area, the buzzards won't even touch...
