    I 1,000% disagree with shooting at night. I don't care what it is, or how badly the population needs culling, firearms and night time are not a healthy mix.

    How far do you have to walk to get to the building? Does the train circle the city or is it just through the main part just to turn around and go back on the same tract?

    You have to have special permission to night hunt in some states. Shining for deer, turkeys and any game animal should be illegal.

    Train stops 1 block from my bldg (In central business district). Trains also run outside cbd... thru most suburbs. From station closest to my house, takes 17 min to reach my destination. Quick trip. :)

    If you have to stop at red lights while on your way to or from home giving at a minimum 4 mins per light it is a good time. When I was living down south I would time how long it took me to wait for the lights to change... kinda sorta made the trip less boring. At one time I would count how many cars passed through the light anything to liven up the trip especially if I was running late...

    That is often how they hunt Feral hogs in Texas.At night with bright lights
    and trained dogs to round them into fenced in areas.Once in fenced-in areas they close
    the gate and hogs are penned-in. Then they have steel silos full of grain with
    automatic feeders so the wild pigs stuff themself to death.Often times the
    grain is enhanced to give negative effects.

    It's called OCD! LOL, I've done the same but driving in Dallas takes all ones attention. I like the train for avoiding the traffic, however I forgot how interesting urban transit passengers can be. One could write a book. :reading:

    Part of being grown-up is to know what to expect from Red Lights.
    How long,especially on one's way to work.I remember When arriving in Amsterdam
    on the 5 country European Tour in the 80's,it was the first European city we
    visited,taking a tour the next day at a Tulip Auction.Talk about Boring,but
    my Mother enjoyed it { She was the president of her local garden club }.
    That night the Tour Bus driver and Guide { remarkable fellow } took us
    for a tour after dinner in the Famous Amsterdam Red Light District.
    Never seen anything quite like it before.Woman in rooms with large glass
    windows that can be seen Too easy from the street in their skimpy lingerie,
    lounging as if in a Boudoir waiting upon the next lucky schmuck.
    I should have demanded off the tour bus.I needed fresh air and a walk.
    Yeah ... right !

    Check the kind of night vision tech that is out there now:



    Sure beats the old Starlight vision from the 70's

    Watched a few episodes documenting female feral hog hunters capturing hogs in Texas.



    In one episode there were so many hogs destroying a farmers crops that they had go take them out with rifles with steel sights. One bullet one hog for the most part at about 300 to 600 meters. Fast work.

    Yep, you see all kinds of people.
    When our boys were small their favorite thing was to go to the airport just to people watch..lol. It was fun, my husband has a great sense of humor and he made the trip all the more enjoyable for them.

    Look at the comments and plays on this video I think they messed up the words in the Lyrics, but still it has a lot of views.

    Sometimes I git So Tired of being Grown-up.It's SO Hard.
    I may end up needing a cane to stay on me feet.
    But then what do I do when my long awaited - Dirty old man -
    phase kicks-in.I've been training for that phase ever since me 40's.
    It's supposed to be much more Wild & Crazy than the - Middle Age
    Crazy - years.More like that plus a nice dose of juvenile horniness.
    Like so many of those High School sophomoric flicks.
    Of course to be a proper - dirty old man - does require certain
    things.Like a nice Trench coat.With big pockets to store stuff like
    a half used roll of toiler paper.So it ain't a piece of cake to be properly
    ready to be a good - Dirty old Man -.
    Any good suggestions will be appreciated.But they gotta be
    kinda open to a dirty mind.

    So SMW, we had a good time in your state. We were out at a hunting lodge in the Del Rio area. And yes, we eradicated some feral hogs for ya. We also saw tons of wildlife - deer, some African exotics, and beautiful birds.

    This is an African aoudad. It's like a huge goat, and it has a beard that hangs down off its neck. The beard is plainly visible in this picture, but it is the same color as the grass, so you have to look carefully.

    I look forward to coming back and doing it again someday.

    OK.I think I've grown-up enough to comprehend the right way to
    handle feral hogs.
    Invite the relatives over for a Feral hog party.Whoever bags the most
    feral hogs gits a Boobie prize.One for the gals and one for the gents.
    The Gals git a lifetime membership to Mary Kay and free samples.
    The guys git a visit to Ted Nugents Texas Ranch for free bow hunting
    lessons and a chance to spend the afternoon listening to his rowdy
    guitar licks.However No Drinking or smoking allowed.
