We need to be better in Louisiana

Our grandfathers hunted the wild hog population to the brink of extinction. They did it with .22s, headlights, with a game warden behind every tree.
What is our excuse?

If we could get coonasses to shoot hogs they way they shoot deer it would be over in a year.

My grandfather killed/caught shittons in the atchafalaya basin.n everyone did. To the point I didn't see my first wild hog until I was nearly 30

Your grandfathers weren't selling hunts and leases to these slicks baw. Plus we've only had hogs for 7-8 yrs at our place and humans delivered them to us so they'd have more hunting op.

That's his point. We had hogs in La in the 50s and 60s. My grandfather hunted em in horseback w dogs.

Back in the day anyone could hunt any land that wasn't posted. Now you have to pay thousands of dollars a year to be allowed to hunt. Big difference

Well and the guys actually hunted, not like us. 90 percent of us won't kill it if it doesn't come to the feeder, or we don't see it cause we are posting in the IST.

Mine did too and I never saw any growing up. They have had 5 bucks an ear bounty on them in Mississippi to get people to kill them. In bama they gave away hundreds maybe thousands of wireless internet game cameras to people as long as they told them if they saw pigs on them to mark their spread so they can come up with a plan to control them.
What's Louisiana doing ?

Come on man. Hogs breed at a rate like 30:1 against humans. Its not possible to keep up.

We just dont put forth the effort. I am guilty of this, I bitch about them. But have two traps out on the property unset and unused.

Many people don't want them gone. Until you get people to stop treating them as sport and catching them and releasing them they will remain a problem
Posted on 3/20/17 at 10:40 am to Ron Cheramie
People catch and release hogs? I've never heard of anyone doing this. Now, silently being glad they have them at first because it allows for more shot opportunity, sure, but the novelty wears off pretty quick once the food plots look like mud pits and the deer sightings decrease.

You sound like a social justic warrior. Making suggestions with no real solution.

Hell yeah. There have been pigs here in the states since the 1600s. Their population in Louisiana was always confined to a few areas until all of a sudden they are everywhere. People started catching them with dogs and moving them around so they could chase them closer to their house. They multiplied like crazy. It's a sport to some mouthbreathers. They catch them and just let them go. Or catch them, and cut their its and let them go
