“Laid Traps”!?
Night Vision goggles, 5 hunters, some baited areas, and you would have a feral hog slaughter in one night.
Did you hear the biologists’ report?
If they killed 75% of all the hogs in one night, a year later, the numbers would be right back up.
They’re working on a hog-specific poison.
Hope they find it.
That poor woman.
If the traps are the big ones, designed right, they’ll bait and catch the whole family group at once. Hunting them individually catches some, but also scatters them, and some will inevitably escape to reproduce. Hogs weren’t a problem in the 70s, 80s, or 90s in my part of Missouri; but in the 90s hog hunting became a ‘thing’ and hunting clubs released hogs onto their properties which of course immediately escaped. Then followed s short period of relative peace while the population built, then it seemed all the sudden formerly crystal clear springs became hog wallows, and farm plots were destroyed by eating and rooting, and wild turkey nests obliterated, very sad. The spread of ‘feed plot’ hunting for deer also had the unfortunate side effect of helping hogs thrive even under pressure.
