I'd love to know what kind of feeder it is that a hog can access but not a squirrel or coon.

honestly, I am not crazy about poisoning any wildlife. If pigs are a nuisance, then we need to figure out a way to make people want to kill more pigs.

How are they going to "pick up on it?"

Put a $1000 reward on every pig killed and then you would put a real dent in the population. You would have to make it worth the time of every hunter. Poison is the way to go, and I hope they completely wipe them out.

There are domestic ones that look like wild ones . Opportunity to make easy money but I was joking.

I love the part that says it requires a special kind of trap only the hog can fit its head in. ding ding ding ding. Tell me about dis here trap? How much is that!
I prefer sponges soaked with bacon grease

I would have to see that to believe it. A squirrel can figure out a squirrel proof bird feeder with quickness and turn it into all they can eat buffet.

I have killed and cleaned hundreds without gloves and eaten just as many. The disease transmission rate of a healthy wild animal to a hunter is excessively low. I do sometimes wear gloves but only because I get tired of cleaning blood from under my fingernails and off my steering wheel.
ETA: I am a practicing Family medicine doc in one of those blue areas on the map. Our hospital services a 100K area population where feral hog management and hunting are extremely popular. In the last 10 years we have seen 2 cases of wild hog related infections in humans both were brucellosis and treated with doxy without consequence.

You don't think TX has tried? They allow hunting from helicopters.
I just don't believe that's it's possible to control them without a natural predator in the system.

Poison has proven to be quite effective. Just ask the wolves and mountain lions that aren't here anymore.

The problem is that some people don't want them gone People move pigs around so they can hunt them
There is a contingent on the pearl river area that was very upset when aerial shooting was going on down there. That was "their" pigs they were shooting. No shite

Only recently started hunting wild ones and, so far, have been amazed again. They adapt patterns to pressure and adjust to methods of dispatch. There's a reason they're a problem.

Not sure if this is the feeder they plan to use.

A solar-powered machine designed to open only when pigs grunt and snuffle is being tested at the Kerr Wildlife Management Area in Hunt, Texas. The HAM (Hog Annihilation Machine) delivers a 15,000-volt shock to animals that touch it when its hoppers are closed -- not enough to faze a pig or injure other wildlife but enough to send a bear or raccoon running, said inventor Harold Monk of Denham Springs, Louisiana.
He said it can also be programmed to ignore sounds. When a wildlife camera showed it opening to an alligator's bellow, he took the camera's recording and fed it to HAM's sound card. "I said, 'That sound is not a hog.' Thereafter, it never opened again on that sound," Monk said.
