Put fences around your feeders so hogs have no access. Build some decent sized corral traps and start feeding corn there. Catch as many as you can. Wash rinse repeat


This is the answer. You can buy 3 foot tall fence panels about 12 or 14 of them make a nice pen. You can put your feeder on the inside and the deer will hop the fence to eat. Hogs can’t hop fences. They will move on somewhere else. We have done this on our land and it has worked.

There seems to be a better option on the market now.It’s called The Pig Brig.I don’t know how to do links but you can look it up on YouTube.
Need a cell camera to monitor it but not to operate it.
Don’t actually have experience with it but it looks like it would work well.
Lot cheaper than what I have-Boar Buster. It works well,my biggest catch was 22.
Nevertheless,it’s kinda of a pain in the arse.The camera has no way to adjust sensitivity so get a lot of notifications on my phone of coons or birds that are eating the bait.


I wouldnt want to deal with the netting. Look into the MSDA Hog Program...they used to have a cost share purchase program where you could partner up with neighbors and have 1000 total acres, and get the state to pay for 1/2 of the cost of their selected traps (they are the best traps). We did it and split with neigbor....got a $10,000 trap setup (camera and all) for $2,500. ea

see my post above...you still need to trap them. Otherwise they use your property as a sanctuary.

Man, your land sounds like it could be optimal deer habitat.

I will die on the hill that hunters complaining about having hogs is only done because they believe they're supposed to hate hogs. They are delicious and they give you more animals to hunt throughout the year.


There’s a guy in our area who will come to your property and set up with his night scope any time for free. He is the Rambo of hog hunters.

Whitetail are responsible for more financial agriculture loses a year than hogs across the country.

And there as non native and invasive as the white man, they came with European settlement.



Are you trying to sell that Whitetail are non native? That is just flat wrong. Whitetail deer are native to North America.

Or are you saying that white men and hogs are both non native? That is a dumb comparison. White men are humans, just like Native Americans, so they are the same species. There were no species of hog in the US before the introduction from the Old World.

The rest of your post has been proven wrong by others, so I will not address that.

You are not going to significantly affect the hog population with a rifle
