I cant stand hogs, it doesnt matter how many we kill they keep coming back. They tear everything up, eat our corn, and compete for native wildlife. Most of the people that have hogs on their place hate them and those that dont want them to have something to shoot at during the off season, but when they get so overpopulated it just gets old. Does anyone else have the same mindset that i do?

They are fun to shoot but yeah they are a royal pain. We can't even drive through any fields on our deer lease because they are so rooted up by the hogs.

I kind of have a hate-love thing for the hogs. You are correct in that they tear everything up etc. and keep coming back for more despite our efforts to slow them down. The part I love is shooting them. My sons also like to shoot them. The first day of deer season(rifle) last year they said that they wanted to shoot a big hog instead of a big deer! I was a bit surprised. I have shot 6 hogs with my bow this year but I'm ready for a big deer to show up. Hopefully the hogs won't keep them away. I guess in the end I am thinking more along the lines like you but they are fun to shoot.

We've only had them a couple of years so I'm still diggin um!!!

Not my land, huntin is not that great there to begin with, and now we have to deal with AR's , so I like havin um!

Just need those hogs to grow a big ol RACK!

I wish the swine flu would actually work on swine, they need to have a widespread die-out

Wait till I get down there to Texas and I'll take care of them all

I love to put the dogs on 'em. you might be able to find a dog hunter close to you to help control your hogs if you're willing.

i love to hunt em, but part of that love is because of the thousands of dollars they cost my family every year..... i like the people that get all upset when u dont eat em after killing em, wonder if those same people eat rats that they catch in the house....

Hey, anytime you want someone to come out and take that free meat let me know... We will eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.... and BTW.... I went through cold weather training and we ate rats... Not bad... Now my buddy will tell you 101 ways to wok a dog.. LOL just kidding about that part...


BTW.. Here is a link to the recipies... http://bertc.com/subfive/recipes/cookingrats.htm

+1 or the flies and spiders they kill in there house.

expect a call at 2 am

i dont think flies and spiders apply as much as rats and maybe even oppossums and stuff like that, that could be found in the house/garage. a hog is a vermin, just like a rat




here is the def of vermin "undesirable or troublesome pests"

I will be there! Give me some advance notice and i will sit out there in a popup blind for a week straight taking everything i can!

You are only about 5-6 hours away... Leave by 5 be there at 10:30pm setup by 11 and be ready to go!

we keep them pretty well in check so they are fun and a way to recoop cost and a reason to go year round instead of just going to lease and work , makes it understandable to wife

JMO but, 9 out of 10 of the dog hunters are the problem not the solution to the hog problem. Dont get me wrong you can catch a lot of hogs with dogs, been there and done it.
But most of the hardcore dog hunters never kill hogs they just want to "play" with them, tie them up and ride around with them, only to put them out on your land/ lease when they are done so they can come back and "help" you out with your hog problem later. Make sure they kill all they catch before leaving your property and never let them Guide anyone either.Sorry guides , guide on your own land/ lease and we will all get along. If you don't believe this just keep your eyes and ears open in your area. You will learn what I did after hunting with some of these types. These are facts not speculation.

i know a lot of dog hunters, and none of them dont kill the hog.....

Yea never heard of letting a hog live or dropping it off on another property. Big fines to be had. You can only sell to approved buying stations.

Anyhow I love hogs. They are smart, tasty, and you can kill them year round. They tear stuff up yes. But folks should share there privalige of hunting property with folks that dont have it or cant afford it. There are a lot of people that would be more than happy to hunt them. And eat them. I know you cant trust everyone but there are tons of people that are good people. Myself am one of them. My familys property is 3 hrs away. I cant get there to hunt as much as I would like. So anyone around austin round rock area that has a hog problem let me know. I will help you out.

It didn't take long for it to start getting deep. They all kill some. The problem is the ones that they don't kill and let loose later. They are careful who they tell/show about this side of the hoggin.

ur right woods, its the dog hunters fault for spreading hogs all over north america, get real! even if some of the dog runners dont kill every pig, its not making the problem worse. Ive been hunting with dogs for about 7 or so yrs now and have yet to meet someone , or hunt with someone that does not kill the hog, or sell it.

I'm willing to get rid of a few. PM me, and me and my cousin will help you out. I'll help you clean a lease up or something for some free hunts.

Also, dogs are part of the problem. Whats happens is the dog people run the hogs onto neighbors land. Well, neighbor man gets tired of hogs, calls the dog people, and the hogs move back to where they were originally. Kill all of them, and shoot even if it will just wound them.

but if they are constantly hutning em, how does ithurt? just cuz it moves em to new land???

Because it is costing the landowners money to hire the dogs, but the hog population is still on the increase. They are just running the pigs around.

Well, if anyone needs a hand shooting some let me know. I have not been hog hunting but what to go sometime.
