re: Other than nukes, how do you get rid of them?

From that area, just wondering if I may know ya.

Great area, but no, just hunt there.

I've had the damn hogs knock over and break the legs of two of those kind of feeders. The best way I've been told, by a guy who does it for a living, is using an infrared scope and silencer in a large field at night, but that would run a good bit of money. Trapping, poison, dogs, just shooting doesn't work, they're smart enough and reproduce too quickly to be wiped out those ways.

You should see the rig the USFWS uses on Bayou Savage and the like....pretty sure its a $5k+ gun with all the NV, thermal, and a silencer on it

I have wanted thermal imaging scope for a while a good model starts at 10 k though.

You aint been talkin bout slayin the swines much lately

I've let em pass recently. Been looking for antlered game but my season ended with a bust today. I've still managed to kill 1-2 per month trying to ignore them this season.

That's interesting and makes sense but sucks if true.
