Got a small population of hogs at a place I'll be hunting soon that recently showed up. Landowner wants to hold off on trapping til after deer season, so lead it is. They come to corn when it's there, but only been put out a few times with no regularity. I've been lucky enough to not have to deal with a hog problem before, whats my best plan of attack here? TIA

Why? Trapping is generally less disturbing to the property and Much more effective.

The most effective trapping is the first pass before they know you targeting them.

Pigs will pattern to feeders especially if feed is limited. They like to get there and get it all first. But pigs respond to pressure and will change patterns at whim.

In these temps they will move in daytime but for the most part they understand the safety of dense woods and darkness. Place feeders with timers near the edges of deep woods and rooting areas. Make clean head shots and try to disturb the area as little as possible. Game cameras are helpful in targeting their movements.

If there are young pigs make sure to set out a fruit flavored mineral block also.
