Choose your weapon carefully. Those things don't drop easily and they tend to get mad when shot.

For as long as I can remember they are the only justification for keeping a gun in the truck at all times. Snakes are a necessary part of the ecosystem, in most cases. Javelina are OK if smoked long enough, but are a bit lean for sausage. Everything else you may want to shoot has a season. Feral hogs are a nuisance and our neighbors would consider us negligent if if we didn't keep them at bay.

Well, part of the "hide instead of shoot" plan analysis was that the only weapons we had on hand were shotguns. They would have just pissed them off.

I suspect the ranch manager, whose arsenal is larger, has pig roasts fairly regularly.
