I have finally done it!
I have not had any hog signs for weeks now. My deer corn lasts more than 1 night. I'm sure more will be back soon but hopefully not till end of deer season. I slowly took out a full sounder before deer season and then had another group start coming in. I shot 3 of the new group and they have not returned. |

If you want your problem to go away, you need to trap (at least). Just shooting them just won’t keep up.

Lease I hunt. The land owners want the lease members to shoot hogs until no hogs over 100lbs are alive anywhere on the 6000 acres.
Don’t care what is done with them. Just kill them. |

View Quote The point of a lease is to pay for the right to hunt deer, paying to be an exterminator of feral species is wasting your money and time. Now if the lease land owners provide you with bullets, hog panels and similar traps to remove the nuisance animals then you have a fair deal. For example, I currently have the rights to hunt feral hogs and coyotes on over 1,000 acres worth of properties within 25 miles of my home. I don't pay anyone and am even allowed to take a few deer if I so choose because my efforts have increased the deer populations. I was able to earn this privilege simply by knocking on a few doors and making friends of property owners that were clearly not capable of managing their land. |

It is kind of a double-edged sword for me.
I do not like having the hogs around during deer or turkey season. When it is not deer or turkey season I very much enjoy going out and shooting hogs at night. |

Went to sneak up on one of my corn piles that has had recent signs of hogs. I've never had signs of hogs in this area before and never check it when hog hunting. Thought what the hell let's check. My brother and I use shooting sticks but this corn pile is only 35 yards from the corner we'll be coming around while stalking up on them. So I decided to leave the sticks just before we got to the corner and use I2 and laser to make the shot. Well as soon as we reached the corner I heard some grunting and 2 large hogs were 15 yards ahead of us. They must have caught wind of us and went into the pines just ahead of us. This is where thermal makes all of the difference. We couldn't see them in the pines 15 yards ahead of us with I2. Had to switch to the thermal and bang 2 hogs down. I think my brother was counting hairs with his 60mm Trijicon at that range. Happiness is a warm gun and some dead hogs https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/138939/20191018_223457-1129369.jpg View Quote |

View Quote They are tearing up my roads, eating all my deer corn and running the deer out. It is now my mission to kill every hog I can. The good news is in the last week I've killed 3 of the 4 sows that have been running together in one area. The teets on that last one will be getting a workout trying to feed those 15 or so little piglets. I got her on camera spinning circles to keep them off her teets. |

I finally shot the last sow in a sounder that had 4 sows and a bunch of piglets.
I've orphaned all of the piglets and feel really bad about it. The coyote will probably get them. |

Good luck to the coyotes. Jager Pro fallowed two orphan piglets for a month and the thrived. Bears seem to be the only real piglet enemy here.

last week, I was in the hills down by Lake Sardis in SE OK. (think banjo music and bigfoot)
A local was bitching about bears and hogs. |
