re: How do yall feel about poisoning feral hogs?

I think its pretty simple. don't eat wild hogs since we are in the process of poisoning them.

It's approved because the poison itself is metabolized making it not stay in the food chain like the other illegal poisons that some like to use.

I don't like it one bit. I look at the hogs as another game animal and an added bonus while deer hunting. I know they tear shite up but damn i like to eat them.

I really dont approve either, of course we aint over run with them. I find it hard to believe there is too much wild game but they aint around here guess cause we ate em.

Straight from the label of Kaput:
Label under environmental hazards

I hear u but man they are fun to hunt year round. The line has to be drawn somewhere i suppose.

See that makes me wonder about water contamination. Fish, deer, drinking water? They live in packs. So what if a big group dies in the pond ur deer rely on? Poisoned animals usually go to water right?

If you arent killing 80% of the hogs off a property a year, then their numbers are increasing...

[quote]Wrong. As a landowner once said, "I'd rather have the hogs that a bunch of hog hunters."
Wrong ?? that's BS!! ''AS''a Landowner i would have no probs allowing this on our land, and i'm not alone, there is a correct way to do anything including setting up hog hunts and trapping in any property.

It has to be labeled that way the same way because there is always a chance that it can happen.
Just like the FDA has to say a drug can kill you if only 1 person died while on the trial whether it was related or not.

It has to be ingested at a level of 50-500 mg/kg to be lethal.
You won't find it in the water.

I would love to go on a big hog hunt through someones land. There just isn't the pressure where I'm from and I haven't been invited anywhere else.

Something has to be done. They're ruining deer habitat, which makes deer population suffer.

Have y'all seen that video of the guys on a side by side driving them towards the middle of a field and blasting them with a shotgun while moving yet? That seems fun. Basically they use thermal imaging to spot them at dark, crank up a light bar and stay between them and the woods.

Poisoning should be a very last resort. I'm all in favor of other methods

I mean, that sounds good in theory but I guarantee there are a lot of people that hunt that are going to be unaware of poisoning hogs being legal, let alone in progress statewide. And that's not even mentioning the idiots that would try to eat them anyway.
Either way, you can call them idiots or uninformed all you want, but if one person gets poisoned from this shite it's going to get shut down with a quickness.

Where is Bleeding Purple on all this?
I am not in favor of this specific poison. there was some research on a hog specific consumed birth control that could be quite interesting if implemented correctly.
The issue I see is this is NOT a novel chemical or swine selective poison. It is plain old kill everything by making it bleed out warfarin. It is transferrable to predatory animals consuming the poisoned swine. Since the concentration must reach a certain level before becoming fatal in hogs (and all animals) it is quite possible to not realize you are harvesting and consuming a poisoned hog. There is no regulation that I see to publically post the use of the poison so neighboring land owners are aware the poisoned hogs on their property. Hogs are said to have a 6 mile home range.
From Kaput web site "Dogs and other predatory and scavenging mammals and birds might be poisoned if they feed upon animals that have eaten the bait. Do not apply this product directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high-water mark."
This is just not a clean non environmentally impacting answer and there may never be a good one. Pig anatomy and physiology is just too close to human and as omnivores their food intake overlaps that of too many other species.

Couple time-consuming logistics with the potential liability issues, and the very inefficient control that still and even dog hunting them is and you're spinning your wheels. I agree hunting and killing them is fun but we have to focus on a long term solution.

This seems like a horrible idea since they unlike most nuisance animals are great table fare. If your neighbor is poisoning them and you shoot one and eat it from your property... I think there will be human deaths from this.
