These are a plague upon our deer camp

Problem is that Hogs are intelligent. You would get one shoot out of one spot and they would not return to that spot again. One lesson is all it takes for them to learn. In that respect they are a lot like coyotes; except they eat anything and everything and reproduce much faster than coyotes.

So, we all whoop and holler when we kill one like the one pictured above...but His offspring shall still have dominion because we can't kill them fast enough.

Yeah, this is why trapping systems that catch entire sounders are about the only way to make a dent in the populations. Missouri banned hog hunting on public lands because it wasn't doing anything to reduce numbers, switched over to trapping and has actually seen improvements.

I'm fortunate and haven't seen any hog signs on my place in Arkansas, but one place in Texas is just overrun and no one seems serious about eradication.
 
Another sow hog. Rifle is Sauer 100 in the mighty 6.5 Creedmoor.

Hogs are a valuable resource that provide significant sporting opportunities. Your opposition to them is merely a remnant of brainwashing by green weenies.

That was hard to type with a straight face. 🤣

I found a dead fawn a couple weeks ago, looks like something got her when she was bedded down. Some coyotes around but a LOT more pigs.
 
I've seen one thing that whittles their numbers down, and they stay low.

When timber shades out, the ground is bare and they have very little heavy cover.

Of course it's mostly worthless for deer at that time, and the turkeys hang up 200yds away….
