Bedford was in the first closures... not this time... personally I think they're whizzin in the wind... I don't think they'll ever get'em all trapped or shot out...

Was watch'n a show yesterday from georgia and the way that the hogs multiply, it's very hard to control them once they get a foothold. They really do a bunch of damage to the farm land and the crops.
