I have been shooting them in the traps for quite a few years now...and can't see where it really makes any difference. I've heard folks talk about getting them out of the traps alive, but I've shot them 3 days in a row in the same trap with no problems involved.
If there is a large blood pool in the trap, I will bury it with sand and sort of disguise it, but that's about all.

Checking traps this morning, I ended up with a total of 10 hogs....but only kept 8. For some reason I hate killing the little guys that aren't even weaned yet. They will probaby be back some day, but for now they are out running the woods. This brings the total off of this property to 663 hogs.

664 now....got a 200 pounder this morning. I have been keeping a count on the one property for about 10 years, now. I also hunt and trap a few other properties, but don't really keep track of them. If I were to guess, I've probably taken at least 400 off of those properties ( 4 small ones this morning).

So....roughly 1,000 pigs over a 10 year period or an average of 100 pigs a year.

When you consider how they breed and extrapolate that (over 10 years) you have prevented many thousands of hogs from being added to the Statewide population.

Good job Sir!
