re: Controlling wild hogs

Hey, I’m all ears! I’m telling you, it was $300 to show up then $1 per pound. So $1000 for six hogs. This was at Independence Ranch run by an LSU guy. I like the guy and it was fun but man it’s too pricey to do often.
Then I paid Bellville Meat market a few hundred to make tamales and sausage. Really, I just want to shoot them and don’t care about having a hundred pounds of sausage in my freezer.
You have land or a ranch out in that area?

I read somewhere that LA has a program where traps can be rented for a reasonable monthly fee.
There are multiple Soil and Water Conservation Districts that rent them out. NRCS also has a pilot program in certain parishes for trapping feral hogs.

anti personnel mines work pretty good, but you have to post signs that the pigs cannot read
All I could find was this one using Tannerite :(

Idlewild in Clinton rents them. Have to have cell coverage is the kicker.

There is an OB expert on this subject, a TCU fan who goes by the handle of BleedingPurple, but he hasn't been around lately.
I hope nothing happened to him. He was not posting frequently and nothing since April.
Shooting is simply not a control strategy for hogs. All the science is pretty solid, if you do not eliminate 90%, the population will rebound (based on the area of the range and food supply) within 12 to 14 months. The only way to do that is a comprehensive bait/trap/poison and, possibly, some shooting just as a supplement to an "all of the above".
Problem with any of it is you have to be working every day (or most days), regardless of the strategy. If you're an absentee landowner, you're going to have to pay someone to do it.
And, frankly, if you have this problem to begin with, it is a chronic problem, not an acute one. It will literally never go away. You will get rid of your pack/packs of hogs and then your neighbors' packs of hogs will expand onto your land.
Rinse/repeat

Killed 8 more in the state trap tonight. Puts us over 50 on the year.

If they can figure out a way to sterilize them, that’s the path forward.

If you could control them....they wouldnt be wild.
Just sayin.

A guy that I work with told me two ways he takes care of hogs. Treble hooks in the food, tied off with some 100 pound braid.
And the other was for when it’s dry. He would mix concrete in to clog them up.

Btw the way, that river flooding few years back took out 100k of them, almost enough to help
I read in an article where the wild hog population in Louisiana was nearly eradicated during the Great Depression. Sit tight. We may get another chance to nearly eradicate them again soon.

That guy is a psychopath. Would steer clear of him

We have locals that take some but farmers just want them out of the crops so once we gather we move on to the next field.
The farmers send whoever wants some to go get them

Well that’s horrifying

Ron, do you use rat poison or glue traps? Hogs are big rats.
And the 100lb fishing line is bullshite. I’ve seen a 90lb boar run THROUGH a hog panel.
You fkn Nancy’s having emotions about dead feral hogs.
being the main reason we will never get rid of them.
