[/ QUOTE ] slug----if you've ever seen the damage that feral hogs can cause to your property you'll understand why people want to trap them. There is only so many you can kill while hunting. It is almost impossible to control the population with hunting alone. Trapping really increases the number you can eliminate. Here is a pic of some damage I had done to my food plots by the hogs: Here is a pic of my trap: These animals breed like rabbits. Yes--they are a blast to hunt but my goal was to eliminate every darn one of them and I didn't care how I did it. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Re: hog trap This might be a silly question, but do you kill them after trapping them ? I was thinking they might be sold to a high fence game farm too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking they might be sold to a high fence game farm too_ [/ QUOTE ] yep too_ I kill them all! A .22 between the eyes does the trick. Cut out their backstraps and YUMMIE! I have had a few inquiries about selling them to high fence operators but I don't get enough to make it worth the trouble. Plus these guys are really mean and I don't want to take the chance of getting hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
