They tear up the world, rooting up huge areas of land, they will eat literally anything (including each other). Rattlesnakes cant even fvck with a wild pig, the hogs can wipe out nests of snakes and its considered a light snack. We shoot the hogs from the deer stands while we are deer hunting, but can only do minimal damage.
The only way to really control the Russian boar population is by using dogs. 2 different types of dogs are needed. Generally Catahoulas for the "bay dogs" and once the pig(s) is bayed the Pit bulls (wearing protective kevlar vests) are unleashed. And if that bulldog is worth 2 shits he will not hesitate to bust that vastly larger pig(you have never seen such a sight!)so the hunter can go hands on and either live catch or (preferably) dispatch the pig with a large knife to the vitals. I have seen bulldogs get thrown 15 feet straight up and never miss a beat coming back down and attacking again without hesitiation. We have killed over a dozen good hogs per day at times. Best ribs and sausage you will ever have if you catch him and feed him out like a cow for slaughter. If you ever see a good pitbull catch dog you will be impressed...Nitro
