Here they come again 😏

North east is pretty much void of them

"Feral hogs can be taken 365 days a year in Pennsylvania without a bag limit. In the beginning, these hogs were mostly confined to game preserves. However, there are now 3,000 spread across ten different counties – with new counties constantly added.Oct 13, 2023"

Come spring they will eat every turkey egg they find

Don`t get me wrong. I`m not a fan!

Maybe this will prove to work.

Pig poison to control feral hog populations developed by LSU

Dr. Pojman with LSU Chemistry said the two departments have been working on this project for more than 7 years.

So has TX been working on some kind of poison. The problem is making sure only hogs get it.
Not a fan of poison myself.
It is just like Johnson Grass, Bahia, and bermuda grass. No good for wildlife. I am in a constant battle on my place with bermuda, bahia, johnson grass, and hogs. Returning to native plants is very expensive and don't want hogs tearing it up or fouling the water.

I'm from PA and that has been the rumor for the past 10-15 years. Thank god they haven't spread. Must only be localized

That's exactly what I have heard too. Around that Tioga game preserve. Here in NJ we have had a very localized population that still remains. Not sure if it's grown any if at all.

Never seen any in SE Arizona. Heard there is a ranch up north you can hunt them, for a fee.

Actually, they are in southeast AZ. Willcox area and along the San Pedro, east of San Manuel.

I can promise, you do not.

Yup! They will do millions of dollars of crop damage in short order…

Caprock is such a beautiful place, spent 4 days up there last year in the park. Wish I could have had a rifle with me.

My buddy's family spread shares fenceline with the park.

My buddy's family spread shares fenceline with the park.

We went around the east side on a county road up to the top of the caprock. There's a huge "party" blind off to the North East. Is that his place?

Yes

 

[308win]

Yes

cool. At first, I thought it was a look out tower for the forest service or something That's why we went exploring. You could shoot every hog on the place from that blind

I like hunting and eating them

U know they carry Brucellosis. Texas parks & wildlife issues warnings. Rivers & creeks & the nutria & hogs habitat. Damp tunnel of nutria are breeding ground of Brucellosis

 

[1017Adams]

That`s an interesting question. What states, if any, have NO feral

We need some in Nebraska

Minnesota caught a guy bringing from Texas . He got 2yrs & 10 probation. Hogs destroy farming & wildlife. Turkey eggs, fawns ,snakes.........
They leave grease spot where they eat calves. Run them till they fall & eat bones & EVERYTHING.

They eat through the bones. We've shot some hogs and split them open for Coyote bait. At night before going to bed we've put game cam. Some occassion the Coyotes drag the hog, there were times hogs eat them through the bones. There would be nothing left by sunrise.

Somehow, a few times we would leave Coyotes hanging on the fence or on the ground, no carnivores would touch them.
