One thing that I've learned is that if you kill one hog, 100 come to the funeral! Killing hogs simply creates a black hole that sucks others into it. I put my thinking cap on and went back over what I've learned through observation after being around them 48 years.

I restricted the food source. I fenced all my feeders with 48 X 48 pens made from hog panels. In the winter, I plant clover in my food plots. In the spring, I plant lablab. Hogs won't mess with either.

I kill sows. I'm always ready and I kill sows. I let the big boars go. Sows do not want their young around the big boys and young boars don't want their arse whooped. Killing a big boar creates a black hole that sucks sows and young boars into the space.

Maximize your shooting. Use plenty of gun and never take a shot on one that will not result in killing another. I don't care where I hit them, as long as I hit them. I've killed 4 hog with one bullet a number of times. The best yet is 8 with a Marlin chambered in 450 Marlin. Body count is what matters.

Always take the shot (if downrange is safe). I've made some exceptional shots that I did not think would work.

Okay.. I should trap everything but the big boars?? is this correct???

There is no posssible way to restrict the food source as the Red river is our southern boarder, Walnut Bayou runs through the middle of our place and another no-name creek runs east to west between Walnut Bayou and the Red river creating a mile long island. All to say we are full of river bottom and food source is plentiful even with the hogs eating everything in sight. Even at my hunting stands (which have no feeders) I can't manage to get away from them.

Also the pigs here will in fact eat clover, haven't tried Lablab. The nutrition up there creates a different diet for the deer as well. I have hunted both sides of the river and neither side has shown much interest in protein or roasted soybeans. Everywhere else I have hunted it was a busy job just keeping the feeders (free choice) from running out.

why intentionally gut shoot anything? I'm not by any means a tree hugger, in fact I'm an avid dog hunter, and kill pigs all the time, but I'll never understand why somebody would intentionally gut shoot an animal, even a hog. If you don't want to deal with butchering, I got it. but at least end it quick.

I just bought a 308 rifle and saw this posting. I'm going to try and line up several hogs or at least two so that the bullet will hopefully pass through one and hit the other resulting in two kills.

Question: Which style bullet will best do this...possibly a full metal jacket bullet or what. Please tell me and I'll get loaded for hogs.
