Yup. I lost count of how many I killed in Guadalupe County. One of my favorite spots was a protein feeder a few hundred yards from the house. I cut a little 10 yard wide shooting lane through the under brush. Park the Polaris 100 yds away up hill under a scrub oak, open the cattle gate for a clear shot, and shoot 'em under the chin at 3 fawn nozzles on one side of the feeder.
The wife and I bought a little 3.5 acre piece of land bordering the Ouachita NF 20 mi W of Hot Springs. Looking forward to hunting my place and the NF from the porch. Haven't seen any hog sign yet but deer and turkey are plenty and there's been a few black bear sightings from what I've heard from neighbors. Hopefully the hogs will stay away.
That is awesome! This lease is about 50 miles Southeast of HotSprings in Manning, Arkansas
Hogs eat turkey eggs!
Exactly, that is why my friends and I are about to have a good ole fashioned hog killin!
If the hogs come back (we think they will only take one Pregent Sow to re-populate an area) we will invite you down. My two neighbors and I took over 300 hogs between traps and shooting 2017 to 2021. We have another property where a two-three hogs have been showing up. BUT you need to keep feeding them to bring the small to large herds. You have to be real active with feeding since we (the hogs) live in the WOODS and NO active Farmland anymore. Our HOGS are the REAL WILD Woods type and live off of Acorns, roots, bugs, anything they can get. and we have a Reservoir right next to us. My neighbor has a Pecan Orchard - those hogs will get in there and root up all the grounds trying to get Pecans buried from years past. When they come in looks like an old beat-up Harrow Disk plowed the grounds.
Become a land owner south of Oklahoma and East of New Mexico and you will never wish hogs on your worst enemy. They are so rotten that they will even live in California! They eat every ground nesting bird in my lovely state of TEXAS. They have decimated wild turkey and quail populations. They destroy crops, kill fawns ,kill calves and eat everything they can and ruin everything else.
Uhhhh, Who was wishing for them? I know it wasn't me and I don't remember anyone else say they wanted them.My mind is blown by some of yall wishing for feral hogs
Anyone who doesn't have feral hogs outside their backdoor........ be thankful!
Anyone who wants to shoot feral hogs you are more than welcome to book a trip with the hundreds of "outfitters" down here. Take off work on a Friday and hunt all weekend for about $300. Most of these guys are even supplying guns, ammo, thermals and an air-conditioned room.....oh yeah and no possession limits or closed season.
Yeah they make good bullet testers and the little ones eat pretty good and an adult boar is probably the smartest thing on 4 legs that you'd ever want to hunt but.....don't wish for the largest invasive biomass in the country to come knocking on your door! Once you have them they do not go away!!
My rough 27 year estimate on hogs I've killed is close to 3,000. I shot 461 in an 18mo stretch in 08-09'. Killed 47 in one day. There was a "kill em all" 24hr tournament last year and the winning team showed up from out around Abilene with a 26ft gooseneck dump trailer loaded to the top with dead hogs. The 2nd place team had a 20ft trailer full. I'm not saying this to boast I'm just trying to convey that they are a plague!
Don't wish for feral hogs!
I wished they ate fire ants
Yep, closest thing to the devil the basstards are. One small group can annihilate 6-20 acres per night on my fields, makes it rough as hell to cut and bale hay. The fields I plow usually recover when we chisel them, but the ones in permanent pasture require more work and time. I still see plenty of Rattlesnakes and a few Copperheads. When it comes to hogs, shoot them all! I would like to see them eradicated.My mind is blown by some of yall wishing for feral hogs
