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

Sounds like a cool gun, but they haven't got em all yet. They still come through the boat parking lot of my condo, which borders the refuge. We own a little bit of brush/marsh back there and may help thin em out soon.
