We have a little African friend who started an orphanage in Kenya with the help of some Christian friends and churches, it turned out that our church was the first one she had visited in America, her Pastor had encouraged her to work with children and she ended up with 30 children in her home,

One of the ministers in our Church is Rev. Ike. He's from Nigeria. He's a mighty man of god..on fire for God.

Here in Idaho, and throughout the Intermountain West, progressive liberals and environmentalists under Clinton got Canadian Wolves introduced into our states in the mid 1990s. Supposedly to "re-introduce" wolves here, even though they were not the same species as the Rocky Mountain wolves who had been here before.

There populations, as many farmers and ranchers warned, grew far more rapidly than predicted, and they immediately began ranging far from where they were supposedly going to stay.

It got so bad, that now in Idaho, Wyoming, and other places they now have wolf hunts to try and control the populations and they have been delisted in those states as protected species.

Thank God.

In the 2011 and 2012 hunts, I know some people who killed wolves well in excess of 150 lbs. Here are some pictures:

Those are BIG wolves...and dangerous too.

We have large packs of them here in the mountains. One pack, that ranges 50-100 miles from where I sit right now looks like this:

The damage they do is significant. In addition to depleting dear and elk herds, they cause significant damage to livestock. Like cattle:

...and sheep:

And, if your dogs are out with you, are you live out in the hills...they kill your dogs too:

It is no wonder our forefathers eradicated them.

That is one aspect of life out here. I do not go into the mountains without a gun and a dog.

There are not as many of them...but the Cougars here are even larger. One was killed about 50 miles from here that weighed almost 200 lbs.

Earlier this year in Boise, the state capitol and a city of about 200,000, (about 30 miles from where I live) they had to kill one in the city that had come down out of the mountains and had killed several pet dogs.

Wow! I didn't know wolves can grow that large!

Here in Texas we got a feral hog problems that can damaged property and crops. It's legal to hunt them, even that hasn't really slow the number down.

Wow! That is a fine bunch of dead hogs those fellow got.

I was raised in Texas, Equation, north and west of DFW on a ranch.

After getting married my wife and I spent a little over ten years in Texas in the DFW area and Houston.

I am very familiar with the hog problem. Been going on a long time...but getting worse. Some of them get quite large. They are all over the Southern United States, from Texas, clear across into the Carolinas and even Virginia. Less the further north you go. The biggest one killed was in Georgia in June 2004. It was almost 12 ft long and weighed upwards of 1,000 pounds. It's nick name became, "Hogzilla."

You also have the Javelina or Peccary in the Hill Country and parts of South Texas that are also very mean, but smaller, though they run in packs. They are not really hogs or pigs, but they look very similar

A large hog or a pack of those javelinas can kill a man...and if they eat you, they do not leave much of anything left.

I'll be 60 years old in September and I've never been hunting or fishing in my life. Never will. But if other enjoy it..so be it.

I have done a lot of hunting. Always for one of two reasons.

1) To provide food. A good Elk would feed our family of seven Sunday dinners for a year. Deer less time.

2) To remove animals that are killing life stock and destroying property.

There are a number of people who hunt for sport and who use #2 above during the hunting seasons they have.

Those seasons have been designed specifically to keep the numbers of these animals down (whether Elk, Deer, Bear, Mountain Lion, or Wolves) in order to maintain an equilibrium in the populations. Man is acting as the predator in those instances...but they are very strictly controlled with large fines, loss of hunting privileges, and even jail time if you violate them.

It has worked well since the end of the westward migration and the establishment of state governments. It gets upset from time to time when people introduce things for other reasons, like political or "environmental" as Clinton and his environmentalists did with the supposed "re-introduction," of the wolves. Ultimately however, they caused so much damage that now they are no longer protected and are being hunted once again.

Wow, I had no idea that the US has a feral pig problem! That is one giant pig!

To each his own, I understand, but you're missing out on all the important experience of hunting and fishing can provide. As a matter of fact I believe it makes more aware of nature and become more concern to preserve the beauty of it.

I agreed, but if they haven't tried to introduce new species into the region we wouldn't have known the consequences it could have on the environment. Now that we knew it doesn't work, so on to the next best solution and take this experience and learned from it.

Some property owners are proposing capturing the feral pigs and ship and sell them to China. Which I think is a good idea, but fuel costs has to go down further in order for it to be economically efficient.

Yes... it is a growing problem..but giants like that are very rare. I would not like to come across such a wild animal without havig a very good rifle with me. The man that killed it did. Without the firearm, such a large boar could literally have any one of us for breakfast...and leave very little, if anything, for others to find.

Yes, but what occurred was not to introduce "new" species in order to guage the impact.

People know what wolves are and what they are capable of. It is why our forefathers iradicated them in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The environmentalists wanted to return to those conditions...but they introduced a different species in order to try and make it happen. The result was very predictable and was warned against directly at the time...but to no avail. It was a federla mandate based on a president desire to appeal to one of his special interest groups...the decision was based on nothing more than that with a lot of "talk," and "findings," to make it look good to those who did not know better.

That was why it happened. Now, 17 years later and after hundreds of millions of dollars of damage...it is being corrected. And such is the nature of politics when those in office become so beholden and corrupt in order to try and hold on to their power. It hapopoens on both sides of the aisle and the conditions that allow for such "career" politicians need to be removed. Term limits would help in that regard very directly. ANyhow, I veer off topic...hehehe.

Feral Hogs, Wolves, and other such nuicanses are a problem and most states are taking the steps to address them. Pictorial documentation of them is usually more than enough to get people to see the need for it.
