Not true. I have had 15 does standing around a dead pig, eating corn. My buddy killed a buck earlier this year not 15 yards from a dead pig he killed about an hour before.

20 minutes later a young 6pt came eat acorns where the pigs were

There is no such thing as wasting a hog. If it's dead a good deed was done. Buzzards gotta eat same as worms.

Oh boy. To keep it simple for a simple mind, just because I have 100 acres in Union Parish where hogs don't exist, does not mean I don't hunt other places where they run rampant.

I have no problem wasting hogs that waste pasture 300sq yards in one night...Once it starts hitting you in your wallet - one starts having a different view on invasive species.

I've head this from many hunters.
Posted on 11/28/18 at 3:58 pm to jrodfishin
they're a nuisance and ruin property/impact deer results. If 15 walk out on me, I cant eat but maybe two a season and I sure don't care to yank on 3-5 of them but i'll try to kill everyone I see.

frick a hog. There is not one thing related to conservation about them. I hunt with some friends in texas that have a pig hole where they just pile up the bodies. Its awesome. I have spent enough time in west texas to see the stunning amount of damage a sounder can do in one night. Any other native species deserves respect and conservation, but these vermin should be destroyed by any means necessary, whether you intend to eat them or not.

I try to keep my kill total on 2 different properties in the upper 100 to 150 pigs per year range.
I process and eat many of those. Usually only take the back straps and the hams some times the shoulders.
I NEVER gut a pig unless I have guests hunting that want all of it.
I have tried to give away hogs, on the hoof, field dressed, quartered, and even deboned. I have called food banks and shelters to accept the meat.
What I have found is no one wants the meat unless it is in freezer paper or vacuum sealed, ground or cut into stakes, final processed, and preferably frozen. A few select may take some that have been deboned on ice but that is rare. PEOPLE IN THE MOST NEED ARE SADLY THE MOST LAZY.
Shelters and food banks require me to pay a processor to totally process the meat and then donate it. (about $100)
On the 2 properties I hunt them on (and numerous others I am asked to come trap them on) the little monsters do hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. They are simply a pest. A tasty pest but a pest all the same. There is not one heart string pulled by dragging a pig off to the side of a field to let the coyotes and buzzards eat.
KILL EM ALL AND LET THE COYOTES SORT EM OUT!!!!

I do mine in the field in what I call a field fillet. lay the hog like the sphinx and make one long cut down spine peel skin down and take meat. very quick very clean and already opens up the hog for the scavengers to finish off the rest.

Mississippi State did a research project where they piled 3-tons of dead hogs to watch how the ecosystem reacted.
Was awesome.

I've never seen this before, awesome.
I worked on one of the LSU research units. They had a girl out there doing some kind of forensic research on pig decay. They had barrels all over the farm with dead pigs in them. Some were sealed, some were open, some allowed air but no flies, some allowed flies. They were disgusting. She would open them up to take samples. She finished her project/gave up (I have no idea which) and I had to go with a front end loader to pick up the drums with dead hogs. I was pushing a drum on to the loader and it came open and spilled all over me. Grossest thing I've ever been through. IDK how they got people to take samples from 6000 lbs of rotting pigs.

Not sure how that happened. But thanks regardless.

Last season I gave a whole doe to my best friend, I shot it, cleaned it, butchered, and packed it. He was very appreciative.
Later that year he shot a doe himself. Not having the same experiences I've had doing it, he struggled. FaceTime'd me many times with questions.
This made him that much more thankful for what I had done for him.
He bought me a bottle of whiskey

Where I've hunted in TX, deer won't go near a hog and will leave if a hog gets near. Hogs are a nuisance and I gut shoot them to get them away from my feeders. They aren't worth fooling with to me.
