wtnhunt Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Welcome back Lisa. From what I have seen on here trapping and hunting the pigs seems to help some, but other than that I dont know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwa Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Build a large pin type trap to catch as many as you can. http://www.wilcoxwebworks.com/hs/hogtrapspermanent.htm http://www.texasboars.com/trapping/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntnMa Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 they get smart on the traps after awhile....thats why we dont have them on the state land i work on... hunting them is the only way, hunting and trapping combined should work pretty good i would think.

Hardwood_HD Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 i would start hunting them, you could get some serious meat if you start busting a few of them.. good luck on whatever you decide they can sure mess up some land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 hey WWH--great to hear from ya! I had a horrible hog problem on my 80 acres. The damage they caused was incredible. I spent a good 3 years and have eradicated the hogs in my area. Over the 3 year period I either shot (bow and gun) and trapped over 50 hogs. The trap was the only way I got the job done. I haven't seen a hog now for over 2 years. I'd set out several traps--it's not uncommon to trap several at a time. Have fun and fill the freezer with some good pork.

Dawg Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 If you hunt them, hunt them REAL heavy. Pressure them real hard, if you don't you won't phase them a bit. The heavy hunting pressure should drive the one's you don't kill/trap away. If you were in Texas I'd help ya out, huntin hogs is my favorite type of huntin, next to deer of course!!

So we pressured um all the time for a few months. aventully they moved off. he sees sighns every ones in awile. Nothing to bad though.
