Poison seems like a really bad idea to me. Lots of other birds and animals will likely die from it because it can't be contained just to hogs.

A few family pet doggies find a recent poisoned one and you got unhappy folks.

Just because I have a pic.

Warfarin based poisons build up toxicity in the mammal over multiple feedings, unless a large concentrated dose consumed ar once. My point is the the dose that killed an animal is now concentrated in that carcass. So, as XYZ pointed out, any innocent &/or other pesky scavengers in the biome , that are not intended to be poisoned will be. Indiscriminate broadcasting of this poison will have both positive and unfortunately negative consequences . Two steps forward……

This has been done with yotes for many years.

At least in Grady Co. OK. I cant speak for others.
We went horseback riding several years ago with a friend who had permission from her Aunt and Uncle. They met us out there while we saddled up. I had my dog with us and the uncle said I best leave the dog in the horse trailer because the wildlife dept. had set out poison for an over run of yotes.

Leave it to people to make a bad situation worse. Almost never fails.

Cyanide poppers, M-44's , not warfarin.
