Ethical should always be in the equation with harvesting an animal.

It's not always harvesting. It's eradicate.

For the 10th time in this thread alone- if you truly want rid of hogs then buy traps. You’ll have a fighting chance to actually get them off your land.

Traps don't put a dent in the hog population. Neither does running dogs. You know what would? Poison and that's a Fact.

If you think a corral trap will keep catching hogs you're out of your mind. They wise up to that real quick.

A female has 1.5 litters a year with 5 to 6 piglets. So that's 5 to 12 piglets per sow. A male can reproduce at 7mo old. Unless you are wiping out 30 every single time,(you won't) you're not doing anything.

Poison, poison, poison. The bastard that introduced these just to get people to shoot should have a rubber band around his balls. frick a pig. Any means necessary is fine by me as long as it's not endangering other animals.

As for my "claymore" you could make it one sided or whatever.

I don't care about humane when it comes to hogs. Kill them with 1000lb of tannerite, a mini gun, I don't care. I don't have feelings for hogs. If you have a problem with rats you don't put out a couple traps and hope for the best. You poison those frickers to wipe them all out.

The good thing about the Malrin is that they pretty much drop dead from what I have read.

It doesn't sound like the xylitol does that.

Yes.

Whats disturbing to me is that as much as the "blood soaked sponge" thing gets mentioned, it must be pretty prevalent.

What about humans? What if someone else shoots and eats the pig you poisoned?

---

if one of my bird dogs... heck if one of my friends bird dogs stumbled onto ate any of the above poisons...or concoctions... I'd go to jail... but it would be worth it.

I think, nay, I hope, it’s more camp folklore than actual practice

If everyone on this board used the sofa cushion method, we probably aren't discussing hog problems are we? And no I don't condone it but it's the truth. So believe what you want. Call me a sociopath or whatever. But if they told me I had one job to do and it was to solve the hog problem, you wouldn't see hogs while deer hunting and you wouldnt see them on camera either.

---

Nukes?

No one is going to go for a poison method that has a chance of affecting other wildlife, man.


Honestly, I think they're largely here to stay. I'd like to see more hunting/trapping opportunities on public lands that currently serve as safe spaces for hogs once hunting season ends.

To be effective, trapping needs to be done strategically Can’t just let people just put out traps because you will end up with a bunch of trap shy hogs

I also don’t agree with extending hunting seasons for
them because it is not effective in the least in reducing populations It becomes sport then and someone who enjoys to hunt pigs isn’t going to go out and try to kill every pig they see because they want to leave some for sees so they can keep hunting them

That’s my beef with the dog hunters. They gripe
That they should be allowed to catch pigs with dogs but they aren’t effective either. Most don’t kill their catch. They do it for fun. And dog hunters are the reason the pig population has exploded So frick them

And dog hunters are not the reason for the hog explosion, lol

In Louisiana it is absolutely the reason. They catch them and transport them. 30 years ago, there were a handful of places you could go shoot a pig. Then the pit bull/curdog mafia formed and started catching them and moving them onto other properties so they didn’t have to travel as far to smoke meth, drink Red Bull’s, put their pits down, and catch pigs
