A hunt based on only trophies being taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be,time to commune with your inner soul as you share the outdoors with the birds,animals, and fish that live there. -Fred Bear

I think you would have the most success setting up large traps, possibly one in each pasture(figure 6). You should be able to sell them and recoup some of your money for the traps. Or you might run some dogs on them. I have only seen one pig on the property since we ran dogs and put plenty of pressure blasting at them last winter.

We are seeing more and more dead on the road from car collisions - often in pairs.
A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

I agree, dogs are the best way. Once they are hit a few times they will hardly come back. Also every hog hunter I know that hunts with dogs break their dogs off of cattle, deer, raccoons, and are strictly hog dogs. I run dogs on the place I shot my 20 point this year and actually caught two hogs the night before. We also have cattle on our place.
