Lol iv shot a sow under a feeder then ten minutes later they came back and a boar had his way with her... when you got them thick enough nothins gona make them leave

I agree, they travel to food/water and bedding area. If your property is in path you will always have hogs if they reproduce fast enough, because they don't magically appear takes mature sow 8 mths on avg to drop a litter, takes fraction of a second for bullet to take them out. If you are a bedding area, not much pressure required to move them out. If you are a food water source, depends on what else is available for them to pick from. Hogs are like any other animal just learn faster. Boars get stupid with a sow in heat, just like bucks. People say you can't get rid of them. I believe them they can't get rid of them. Well from 82 hogs in previous 12mths to to 9 in last 12 mths,(thats not even 1 per month. I can only speak of what I have witnessed first hand), so take for what its worth, and give it a try and see if you are successful at getting rid of them, or cutting the numbers by 90%. I wish I had them thick enough I would not be home typing on the computer

Sows can have up to 2 1/2 litters a year... i shoot and trap pigs year round and already have over 20 this month... and they are in the same spots the next week...habitat will determine the number of hogs in an area every time no dout

it's offical, i am the worst hog hunter in the state, proof tis in the pudding, been over a year since downed a hog, in fairness have only seen two, could have been a third one, they were bedded.. tried ta ease back out an get my gun.. p.s. could have used the chop's

What farmer did was drive the perimeter of fields and property each morning and if any tracks were seen I was called. I would go out and wait that night, the hogs got to know the sound of my diesel truck and would sneak off before I even turned into the fields. I had someone wait at opposite end of field one night to verify this. I would follow the tracks and knew they were there, but for a 45 day period nothing. They were hearing my truck and snuck out opposite end, tracks were there. Well parking before sunset solved this problem, and the smart ones were eradicated. Part of the 9 in the last 12 months. I would go out every sign of tracks and that eventually led to the 90% reduction in hogs YTD(7mths no tracks at all). Without the use of thermal and night vision I don't think its possible, I have bow hunted for years and when you have the advantage of stealth and pitch black nights, thermal, night vision and an ar15 its not hunting at all, its eradication! they don't have a chance. If they would not damage the crops, I would only shoot what I needed for meat. Shooting them all was for eradication purposes only. You have to get as many as possible or they will be back!
