How many pounds did you use?
I know trapping would be more effective and we may do that too but I want to have fun with them.

So we did it twice. Once with 20 pounds and then again with 30 pounds.

First time we had it in bottom surrounds by corn. I set up a plywood blind 100 yards away

First time i had 3 around it with 20 pounds and shot it. One ran away completely. One died instantly. One had a fricked leg and ran like 80 yards. Had to shoot it again. I always wondered if that first one had a mortal wound but got away. Always kind of felt like a dick for it.

Second time we used 30 pounds and hunted over the bait pile for 3 days and the shot it with 2 small 70 pounders around it close. Both died but needed another one to the head to seal the deal.

In total I devoted about 35-40 hours to kill 4 pigs.

But I needed them off the land.

I set 3 traps about a month later and caught 37 hogs in 8 days. And devoted less of my time to it than killing 4 hogs.

I’d rather be bass fishing, bow hunting or playing with my kids instead of dealing with hogs. Also the kills aren’t ethical.
