No prob, I assumed, but always learning something new.......or being reminded of what I forgot.

Trapping is the only effective way to get rid of them. You can pressure them off by hunting, but thats just moving them and they will be back.

Not my photo, but an easy way to get them all together:

Pretty cool. I like the trap idea and have all the goodies to put that together.

We got our first pig pictures down in Garvin county over the weekend. He knocked over a feeder then destroyed it getting the corn out. Only see one on the camera, but I am sure there are more.

Wife got in touch with the GW yesterday and got an OK to pick up a predation permit for hunting him and any friends he brings.

So, the question is 5.56, 30-06, or 300WM?

30-06 oughtta do.
Give you the warm fuzzies to have to ask permission about what you can do on your own land?

Like others have said - trapping is the most effective solution.

I think when they move in on my sand plums next year, I will put 5lbs of Tannerite under a pile of corn. See how many I can get with one shot!

Yep trapping is the way to go unless its a lone boar.

In the meantime, put a t post in the ground by each feeder leg to wire it down.

Good idea, but tough to see and harder to shoot the jug in the middle of the pigs.

No man is an island. That's how I look at it.

My uncle has land off 77 and 74, with river on east side. Guess I need to go see if I can kill some stuff.

We saw two hogs while riding the four wheeler trails around lake liberty a few months ago.
