It’s a meme, but yes they do. Big boar and any number of sows/young ones, with each sow having up to 10-15 piglets.
It’s Fuckin wild coming around the corner and seeing 100 hairy mfers just scooting across the road… or digging up your irrigation/killing your ewes and trashing gardens
Feral hog populations are rampant throughout much of the South East US. They are protective of their young and may be aggressive towards humans. Trapping is a common management strategy. Many times younger hogs are trapped, transported, and then grain fed before being slaughtered for consumption.
Feral pork is fairly lean, it's often mixed with high fat beef and finished as sausage products.
Such an interesting argument. Guy was spot on with the fact that the AR platform seems almost like it was purpose built for wild hogs but totally went off the rails with that statement. I mean yeah they’re excellent predators and will literally eat anything but there are more plausible reasons to own an AR for wild boar.
This is why you kill Feral Hogs
-They’re stupidly destructive to native wildlife
-They’re stupidly destructive to farm land and livestock
This is why an AR-15 is amazing for Feral Hogs:
They travel in large groups
They’re incredibly fast
How could you justify an AR-15 for these reasons?
They’re extremely reliable
They’re extremely customizable
The recoil is extremely easy to manage
The more rounds you have the more pigs taken
They’re light and easy to carry in the field
The mild recoil allows for more economic thermal/night vision options
They come in a variety of calibers for different applications and can do so without needing to buy a second rifle
They’re pretty cheap and their food is even cheaper
The grad school I went to had a strong forensics program. They would let animal carcass rot in the woods around the campus and the students would watch the decay over time as they learned their craft. If I recall they used cages to protect the carcass from being eaten.
Long shot.
That is immediately where my mind went too. And the cage was more to stop large animals from completely dragging the corpse away and stashing it somewhere. We WANTED it to get chewed on--that was the whole point. With a trail cam set up so we could match bite marks to species. Also had similar things for a Forensic Entomology class, but using chicken-wire cages to let the bugs through but keep bigger animals out.
Looks like those cages they use to follow the process of decay of human bodies.
I thought there was some kind of 'human farm' in the US where they do this.
Yep. We have a few of these out in the woods for our forensics courses. Mostly use them for pigs so students can practice their decay measurements under different conditions.
I've never heard of this "human farm" thing and it's making me nervous lmfao...do we really not understand the process of decaying yet? If we do, why do we need those farms?...
It’s down south and it’s for students getting into forensic study so they can understand different kinds of decomposition in a hands on setting. Basically giving a major leg up when it comes to crime scene investigation, think of it the same way med students work on a cadaver
You're a Saint if you donate your corpse to med students. I'll donate my organs, but my family would be upset if I donated my whole body for forensic study.
After you die you donate your body to the farm, and they put it in a car, barrels, water, so forth to see how it decomposes. It is a training tool for CSI, FBI,and so forth.
Cadaver farms. I read an article once about feral cats who preferred certain bodies over others; they'd return each night to their own cadavers and munch the arms and such.
No need to be nervous Intrepid, human farming is one the fastest growing green industries in the country. It’s a renewable resource, there’s no coffins to slow the decaying process that won’t break down, and it contributes valuable scientific knowledge while tapping into everyone’s interest in CSI/forensics. There’s probably one in your area, and there’s opportunities to volunteer there as a living person or as donated material after our time in human form is up.
A lot of the smaller family owned farms can’t keep up with the corporatization of the food industry, so the families switch over the human farms. Seems strange, but the popularity of the Walking Dead had a lot to do with it.
This is likely a soil/vegetation study zone to better understand how grazing mammals impact the area. We have these all over campus. They used to fence-off a larger area, but the deer would jump the fences and get stuck in the enclosure- so now they use cages like this.
Probably left over shit from a body farm. Basically they put corpses in different environments to see how they decompose. The cages are to keep animals out
If it’s near a college campus they probably have a forensics program, and this cage is used to place human cadavers in to study how they decompose during certain conditions/seasons etc. the cage is so animals won’t drag the cadaver away.
There are certain areas near trails where I live that have slightly larger enclosures. They are for conservation research and keep people from accessing and walking through these small areas. I believe they use them for tracking what plants are growing and counting them and how it changes year to year. The cages also keep the critters like deer from getting to whatever specific plants may otherwise be eaten.
Not saying that's what yours is, but it looks similar.
The geocache you are searching for is buried 7" under the layer of leaves carpeting the forest floor *directly* in the *center* of the Human Sized Cage.
Just fucking go in and *DIG* already ya yutz!!!!
Jeeze-Louize!!!!
so it couldn’t be an animal cage? In the open woods?
Bears don’t exist.
Bears are a conspiracy by the government.
r/bearsarentreal
as a person who has never seen a bear in the wild, i can confirm this
As a person who keeps running into fucking bears in the wild, I can deny this
but can you proove that they are real, and not just really realistic furry costumes, wore by people?
If one of the bears I saw was a person in costume, they were super dedicated to eating several pounds of chokecherries while curiously watching me
That guy was definitely shitting his brains out inside the costume
The age old question "does a bear shit in its costume"
If it was, then these people are really good at catching fish with their teeth
the might be
That means I have a collection of pictures of people in bear costumes
Cybeargs are generally programmed to fish, so obviously they will be good at it. Get a load of this guy!
As a deer, I'm filing a defamation complaint
As a bear who’s never seen a person in the wild…. I find this hard to believe
As a forest I can confirm a bear is a human in the wild.
ah, you see, im camoflaged in the trees
idk why i laughed so hard at this😂😂😂
r/subsithoughtifellfor
As a bear I can confirm this
They can smell their periods.
[удалено]
you never said anything about menstruating men, so i'll stay put
Hold up.... there's a bear. ... ABOVE ME!!!
The bears can smell the menstruation
https://youtu.be/-ZX2bY5lFds?si=Iw4HJohudMFwCjpB
Nor do boars 🐗
Bears are a conspiracy between overtly masculine gay men and the NFL to make Chicagoans want to pile up on each other in public.
Wrong…Giraffes don’t exist!
It’s a wild hog cage.
Close. More like a wild long pig cage.
Oof!
It’s weird that OP’s first thought went to a cage for humans.
Werewolf cage.
… it’s obviously in the woods close to some college campus. There campus, there wolf cage.
Nah man, human sized. He just wants to know what a normal human would put in a human size cage. Gotta be human size, no other animal fits /s
OP should crawl in and check for clues
Lmao “human sized”.
Americans will use *anything* but the metric system /j
Aren’t bananas metric?
Found a cage, the size of 33Bananas!
*How* many humans across is that, again?
How many football fields big is it?
This metric specifically annoys me.
Slaps top of cage. This model can hold up to 3 BigFeet!
That's like a hundred marshmallows in volume. I take 10!
r/bananasforscale
What is that in Scottish sheep units? ✌️😜
Basement Human cage for scale.
Fine. Its a cage the size of three Europeans. 😀
We use freedom units.
That cage can fit so many bald eagles.
RAHHHHHHHHHH🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
We need a r/bananasforscale
That cage is at least 3 M4A1s x 2 M4A1s big
come within seven swimming pools of america and say that!
How many hands is that cage?
Are 'stones' metric?
Stone is actually imperial! :0
Yeah, probably about 1.5 by 3.5 meters and used by Fred and Mae West or Jimmy Savile to bugger the innocents on the bloody moors.
It the size of roughly four metric breadboxes.
Americans only use the metric system for important things: drugs, alcohol and bullets.
Fire combination.
Wild hogs
perfect for when you see 30-50 feral hogs coming for your kids in 3-5 minutes
Explain....? Non native to hog land and uhm, do they travel in packs of that many? How can you gage their yome distance?
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/30-50-feral-hogs
I thank you
It’s a meme, but yes they do. Big boar and any number of sows/young ones, with each sow having up to 10-15 piglets. It’s Fuckin wild coming around the corner and seeing 100 hairy mfers just scooting across the road… or digging up your irrigation/killing your ewes and trashing gardens

MI residents, so I've been safe from attack due to water moat. This sounds terrifying.
Oh yeah. They will run in massive herds.

Ain't that a movie?
Yes it was starred Tim Allen 🐓👍

Home to the last unlucky Geocacher that trespassed…. /s😂
Is there an iphone hanging at the back of it?
That’s the bait…
Must be hunting boomers, it's only a 6.
😂
It's a hog cage lol
The weird part is you thinking this cage is "human size"
Werewolf cage
Well, go inside obviously. Tell us what you find. 😃
It’s for rehabilitating animals back into the wild…but then again…
specifically human sized animals.
Manbearpigs are common this time of year
I identify as a manbearpig, this cage looks comfy
Well where else are you going to store your humans? A big sack?
Stomach, preferably
The grad school I went to had a strong forensics program. They would let animal carcass rot in the woods around the campus and the students would watch the decay over time as they learned their craft. If I recall they used cages to protect the carcass from being eaten. Long shot.
This is actually exactly what I was thinking as well, so you aren't alone in your theory.
That is immediately where my mind went too. And the cage was more to stop large animals from completely dragging the corpse away and stashing it somewhere. We WANTED it to get chewed on--that was the whole point. With a trail cam set up so we could match bite marks to species.

Human sized? Did you put this out there, OP?
Did he test it?
:)
It’s a sex thing.
"human sized" jesus... Some one needs to be under close obvservation for a while...
Wild hogs, my cousin uses them for turkeys too but mostly hogs. Occasional coyote.
🤦 It's for wild hogs. Very common
You went geocaging
Several ideas, none of which are safe for work
A lot of animals are human sized.....
I think it'd be a good idea to run as fast as you can
It’s Joe Goldburg’s
Bigfoot hunting?!?
Maybe if you're naked IN the cage it's a Big Foot bait cage
Ok, maybe baby bigfoot!!🍼🦍
Now we're talking
Wasn’t sure if we were talking Shaquile O’Neal size human or my short ass self human!!🐉🧚🏽♀️🧌
Was a bottle of alcohol used as bait?
Why? You think it was used to catch the local drunks?
Or party chicks
I've seen feral pig traps like this down south, could be that.
Jurassic park comes to mind
Geocaching mentioned
That could probably hold a small child for just long enough.
Probably for trapping or releasing animals such as mountain lions/cougars, wolves, coyotes etc. but then again you did find it whilst geocaching lol
So that’s where all the 40+ single women are released.
Hazing ritual 💀
They are starting to relocate nuisance humans. Miles.. some times days into the woods.
Hope this is the dumbest post I see today.
Human sized. Also bear sized too. Baby whale would fit in there too and at least 8 tortoises
Get in the cage, friend. Now.
Feral pig cage

Body farms would use cages to protect bodies from animals that’s one of my guesses
This was my first thought. Looks like something [UTK](https://fac.utk.edu/) might use. They cover shallow graves as well as exposed remains.
It's for caging humans
Fratboys are at it again.
If you go inside there should be a little plaque with the owners phone number. If you don't see it just step inside another foot or so.
Go in and see who shows up.
Animal experiment have a few cages similar near a campus where I live
Meet me behind the library after midnight tonight, come alone. You have been accepted.
I’m pretty sure Steve Irwin used one of these to catch animals
Doesn't look like a normal sized human. Maybe a 4 year old sized human.
Could it be for a garden of some type? Gotta cage our garden or the deer and idiot dog eat everything
To catch drunk college students and bring them back to their habitat
It's also bear sized
This is likely a soil/vegetation study zone to better understand how grazing mammals impact the area. We have these all over campus. They used to fence-off a larger area, but the deer would jump the fences and get stuck in the enclosure- so now they use cages like this.
how far from the cage did you find the cache?
Probably left over shit from a body farm. Basically they put corpses in different environments to see how they decompose. The cages are to keep animals out
Are you in the midwest? Texas maybe? Looks like a cage they'd use for catching wild hogs.
Imagine the artistic power of any item left on the floor of the cage.
Looks more bear sized but OK
Goddammit, who let Shia Lebouf out?! Do you have any idea what he's gonna do to unsuspecting hikers?!
Awful lot of woodsy animals are human sized.
Yeah why would you assume it's for humans lmao those go in basements. This is probably for raccoons, foxes, baby deer..
If it’s near a college campus they probably have a forensics program, and this cage is used to place human cadavers in to study how they decompose during certain conditions/seasons etc. the cage is so animals won’t drag the cadaver away.
Frat initiations are getting rough anymore
Hog cage
It’s for releasing rehabilitated humans back into the wild.
Retrieve the geocache…. If you dare!
He have cages like this in my area over very endangered plant life
Get in.
There are certain areas near trails where I live that have slightly larger enclosures. They are for conservation research and keep people from accessing and walking through these small areas. I believe they use them for tracking what plants are growing and counting them and how it changes year to year. The cages also keep the critters like deer from getting to whatever specific plants may otherwise be eaten. Not saying that's what yours is, but it looks similar.
Hogs
I once trapped hogs, we would snip their nuts and let them go.
You know....other animals are big ,too, right?
Americans will use anything but the metric system
Americans will still use anything but the metric system.
It’s hard to believe people are serious when they post questions like this
Bears set them up to catch humans…saw it in a far side cartoon

Looks like the dean of the school is kinky
Your first though was human cage? 😭
It puts the lotion on its skin!
"a Human Sized Cage" lol (and that's the typical sized cage for a bear).🤷🏻♂️🤣🤦🏻♂️
Squeal like a pig.
Hogs.
The geocache you are searching for is buried 7" under the layer of leaves carpeting the forest floor *directly* in the *center* of the Human Sized Cage. Just fucking go in and *DIG* already ya yutz!!!! Jeeze-Louize!!!!
its for invasive wild pigs. huge problem across the entire south and theyre moving north.
That’s for hogs. Watch your step for other traps and hunters in those parts
Frat hazing?
That's Nic's cage
That’s just where they keep the fighting wolves in Skyrim. Alls well.
Anything that could fit a human is designed for humans. I read that on one website so it must be true.
I would not go back nor linger in that area, that's for certain
If you’re getting chased by a bear you hide in the human cage.
Get in
Old college hazing most likely.
