Obvious question: I assume it's formulated in some way that nothing else will eat it?
I don't care if it does but it's really simple. Pigs eat meat. Wildlife doesn't. frick the pigs. Who cares if they die a painful death. Eradicate them. Hot dogs, pellets, balls, don't care. Grt rid of them. People can buy pork at the store so what's the point of hunting a pig? Makes zero sense. If it was up to me wild pigs would go extinct really quick. I'd give up plenty of wildlife to get there too.

Where did you get this information?

This is not really new info. They've had this developed for some time. The question i have is how are they going to deliver it to the pigs w/o poison a bear or some other animal?

market for their pelts.
When I was a kid we could get $15 - $18 a pelt, and you are right.
There wasn't that many back then

So it puts them to sleep.
What happens when they wake up?
Do you capture them and kill then? Or just relo?
Just federally find the helicopters and ar15s and the jeager cage systems.
Find a way to shred them into fertilizer and we won’t be dependent on pot ash from ukraine.

I don’t know why people won’t read.
It puts them to sleep,in like permanently.Very similar to carbon monoxide poisoning.
If they don’t eat enough to kill them and they wake up they won’t feel sick or in pain so they won’t be averse to eating it again and hopefully get a lethal dose next time.
There is no residual effect so it is not harmful to scavengers.If a person shoots one that ate a non-lethal dose it will not harm them to eat it.
Problem is bears and raccoons are also susceptible to it ,therefore have to have the expensive delivery system.
Another issue is there are people that like having hogs to hunt.That’s part of the reason they are so widespread.Hog-doggers catch them and release them in other areas.
One jerk that lives in Grant parish bought a bunch from sale barn and released them on his property and they spread out from there.It has cost the farmers and pecan growers a shite ton of money.Easy tell the offspring of the ones he released,they look like hogs my grandpa raised.
Frikken bears have thrown a monkey wrench in trying to control hogs.
A guy at my church has a resident bear on their hunting club and they have a big hog problem.They have a trap but can’t catch the hogs because the bear eats all the bait in the trap.He showed me pictures of the bear camped out in the trap.

Bears eat pigs too. Stop baiting and your pigs will go elsewhere

Do you really think bears are predators of pigs ?
Tensas,is over run with bears and wild hogs
Bears are more of a scavenger than a predator,they probably have more in common with a possum than any other animal.

This is a major problem. But I get it. That way of hunting is a RUSH. But it should be restricted to private fenced land or you must eradicate the animal after catching. Or at least castrate it (which a lot of folks do)

They are opportunistic feeders, if they can catch a pig or find a dead one, they will eat. Hogs are directly related to baiting, stop feeding, shoot the fk out of them and they will move on.

I don't know of too many people who eats wild hogs, unless it is really young ones. When I was living down south and the conversation would come up, people were always asking me to bring them to them from back home so they they could cook them, which was surprising because they didn't seem to care what size or age they were.
I've shot them and left them laying for a night or few and came back and shot more that were coming to eat the dead ones. You can smell them nasty frickers from a 100 yards away when you go to drag them out.
Not into shooting stuff and not eating it but I no longer have much sympathy for them. Rather shoot and kill as many as possible to at least try to keep them from running the deer off, which we actually eat.
As for the OP, I know they have been working on that for a long time, will be interesting to see how it works.

I agree baiting with corn helps draw hogs to property but it’s not the only thing. Hogs will root the hell out of properties in spring and summer for earthworms and grubs.
.A neighbor has 1200 acres of pecans and cattle.Hogs rooted up his pecan orchards so bad he abandoned trying to pick up the pecans on several of his pastures.He rode me around in the summer and he had rooted up areas that were deep as bathtubs.
I asked him why he didn’t fence it off with hog wire.He said it takes a hell of a fence to exclude hogs.Have to either bury wire 2 feet deep or lay out a wire apron 2-3 feet on the ground.
He had hog-doggers come regularly and that worked for awhile.He said they would come and catch a hog or two. and they would stay gone for a month.
Then it got to where the hogs would run for miles and wouldn’t stop for dogs to bay them.The fellow with the dogs had GPS collars and would catch his dogs miles away and the hogs would come back in a day or 2
I know another guy that was retired and raising hay to supplement his income.Hogs kept rooting up his hayfields so bad he gave it up.He wasn’t putting corn out in his fields.
Old guy across the bayou has 3,000 acres or so,strictly for hunting.He pretty much got rid of the hogs but he has deep pockets and he hires night hunters with thermal scopes to hunt it regularly and they have pretty well harassed the hogs off his property.
Surprisingly, when he started that the hogs left my property also and I was overrun with the bastards before.

I love hunting pigs so I hope they stay overpopulated.
If the shite ever hits, they will be a great source of protein.
