Not necessarily true. My in laws have what I call a retired gentleman's ranch in N. Texas(125 acres). They had a hog problem some 20 years ago. They allowed hunters in ( no fee). Within 3 months.....all hogs were gone and have not returned.TomsTXCHL wrote:Yup it's a fine sport, but it not only does nothing to curb the population, it can actually hurt if the feeding area was set-up specifically to try to eradicate them. That's because the sounder learns simply not to go back there any more.LeonCarr wrote:One down, 7,000,000 to go :)
Only effective way to deal with them assuming they're wreaking havoc on one's ranch, is to create a feeding area that is fenced, such that after the entire sounder (OP's 20 or so) get comfy going-in and feeding, one day you drop the door and trap the whole bunch.
I know, that's less fun than shootin' em but for others who may wander in here that is the only effective way to deal with those nasty, prolific creatures.
I do hope some day to go on a shoot but that will be for sport and not a control effort.
