Feral Hog Problem
Posted on 9/14/22 at 5:49 am

Hogs are rooting up my yard at night and it is a mess. Put out a trap and caught three the first night and one the second night. It has been over a week and no hogs caught. They will root all around the trap. They have wised up.
Any other options?

Bait trap with Parmesan cheese, they can’t resist going in after it.

Thermal scope and a cold drink

Call up some buddies that shoot and have a ball.
We shot 40 of them in one night last weekend in Holden.

I have no thermal equipment. I will try the cheese first. If that fails, time to recruit some guys that have the resources.
Thank you
Thank you

Are you sure there are more? How big is your yard?

I feel your pain. I live on the east side of Ponchatoula and these showed up in the back yard over the past week. Never had them before

Have 10 acres. 5 acres gets bush hogged twice a year and the other 5 is finish cut. They like the finish cut of course. Have about a 80ft x40ft path of destruction. Put out a game camera and there is at least 10. The ones I caught were 30-40 lbs but, large ones on camera.
Get this, I shot and dragged the ones I caught to the edge of my property at the wood line and the next morning there was nothing but blood stains. Coyotes?

A guy at work says they like to put treble hooks tied to wire in the corn/food they put out. Said you might lose a sapling the hooks are tied to, but pretty effective.

It’s highly recommended that you kill and dispose immediately after the trap is sprung.

Hogs will cannibalize their own in a heartbeat.

and they leave nothing behind....vultures, coyotes, and bears will at the most scatter the bones...you can tell a coyote got to something because there will be hair and bones scattered and dragged off everywhere. Vultures pick at a carcass, but leave bones where they lie (big indicator is rib cage is still attached to neck and skull) and bears will scatter like coyotes but the bones will be gnawed upon and torn up.
hogs eat every morsel.

I’ve had other people tell me this.

My uncle knows a big hog farmer in Ohio. He said they have to go in the pens twice a day and pull out dead hogs. If they don't the other hogs will eat the dead.

If you're gonna kill something, kill it quick.
