So I live out in the middle of nowhere in TX, and these feral fricking hogs that keep showing up at night and fighting my wolf hybrids. It’s annoying as hell because they keep me up at night with what sounds like WWlll and if they kill any of my dogs I’ll be pissed.

I haven’t been hunting since I was a kid, so I don’t really know where to start.

My nearest neighbor is a mile away, and hogs are legal to hunt 24/7 here. I have an AR15 shooting .300 blackout, a .40 S&W, a 12 gauge, and a bolt action.

How do I kill as many of these bastards as possible?

You live in the middle of nowhere in Texas with a small arsenal and you don't know how to kill hogs?

Something seems fishy here.

How much property you have in middle of no where TX? I can help with your problem. Shoot me a message.

As with any animal, bullet to head is best option.

Bleeding Purple is the board expert. Until he comes along, you're going to want to consider trapping. You can still shoot them in the traps, but shooting them - by yourself - is never going to reduce the population.

And one more thing - you're going to have to kill the cute little shoats and piglets - all of them. Even doing that - even literally decimating the population, they'll recover in about 24 to 36 months. So, you're sort of fighting a terminal disease, but I understand the urge.

You'll need to kill 70% of the population every year just to maintain the numbers.

It looks like your best bet is going to be hosting a barbecue at your place and inviting as many coonasses as you can find.

BleedingPurple is the man you seek. Search his user name. He has some great hog threads and goes into great detail about trapping them, among other things. He really knows his shite.

I don't think you have any chance of actually eradicating them. Your best hope is to make life so miserable for them that they leave your place and go tear up someone else's property.

If you can find those clay targets that are toxic to swine but not deer crush them and mix them with corn. I hear that does a very good job of controlling hogs.

Poor out a big pile of deer corn, sit and wait until they come to eat. Use slide fire stock and unleash hell.
