Another Feral Hog Massacre on SH-130

[RstyShcklfrd]

A 40mph night time speed limit would be stupid. Period. Why would I take a toll road just for it to take LONGER?

The only realistic solution I can think of is to have a good ol' hog hunt.

The hogs on my land dont hurt nothing but my fences I bucket feed my horses everynight so there is no food for them to rob from me but they love to waller in the pond when the creek is dry thankfully the creeks not been dry for a year or so.

When I need to go "grocery shopping" I go down to the creek and wait. Im not saying they shouldn't be killed cuz I send them to there maker every chance I get.
Mainly because I dont want to be over run and im tired of fixing my fences.

OR, instead of a liberal policy, with more government regulation where it doesnt belong, people could use their damn brain.

Well, it is at Austin.

I never said it'd be effective, I just said it'd be cheap

Bullshit. Your entire post implies you thought barbed wire and t-posts would be a good idea, and "durable." And even if not, why would you propose wasting a single nickel on something that won't be effective?

I've been up and down this road day and night numerous times and never even seen a hog. Out of the thousands of cars on this road in a given month, how many are hitting hogs?

I agree with the idea of hunts to thin the herd but I don't see much difference between this and the deer out around Johnson city at night. You just have to remain aware at night... which eliminates about 80% of drivers.

I'm thinking the state should put up roadside hunting towers, rename it it "The Hunters Highway". The toll is taking a hog...

That would be sweet. Anyone at any time can park, climb up and go for a hog.

I never said it would be cost-effective. I said it would be better than wire mesh fences. Did you miss the part that said something like "It's still fighting a losing battle - best is to just not build where the pests haven't been exterminated yet."? I know it's a really long post, but them words get important.

Y'know, it's kinda like when someone says "I'm gonna say something stupid, then defend it while at the same time tellin' you it's a stupid thing to say.....

If you ALREADY know it isn't cost effective, then why even bring it up? I know it's a difficult concept to grasp, but reality is important.

 

[TexasRedneck]

I never said it'd be effective, I just said it'd be cheap, which seemed to be your biggest concern. Sorry for getting under y'alls skin.

Realistically, the best option would be to simply lower the speed limit for day travel, and enact a different speed limit for night travel (say, 65 and 40 MPH respectively, for example). And yeah, they'll learn to avoid the road eventually, but that's at least a few years off.

So - it ain't gonna work, but you think it should be done anyways? Boy, you need to develop better comprehension and risk/reward evaluation skills. Crap like that is what some dumb-assed liberal would suggest. And lower the speed limit? 40 MPH? Ohmahfreakin'lawdinheaven.....

Here's your sign.

Just that statement tells me all I need to know about the driver........

Do me a favor. Explain why cutting down on the time and distance needed to avoid a collision is a bad thing. Because that's the whole idea behind lowering the speed limit, is to give people more time to react and avoid whatever's in the road. That's especially true at night, when your senses can be dulled and your reaction time takes one hell of a hit, hence why quite a few highways have differing day/night speed limits.

Or did you not even consider that before ya went off? Also, you apparently missed the word "example" in that post. Saying someone is ignorant, and then being ignorant yourself -really- doesn't make you look much better.

You two should get a room.

Young folks don't remember the National 55 mph speed limit......day or night....

Boy that sucked.

Whooo! I drove to South Dakota and back under that one. Looooong trip!

Ill just come out and say it. You are this forum's most hated member. Nobody here takes you seriously. EVER. You cause concern among a large majority of its members. You make a pompous ass of yourself.

Didnt you say you don't even have a drivers license?
