Hunting Hogs for Meat
« Reply #-1 on: August 28, 2013, 12:05:31 PM »
This is not for sport , done that with dogs & knives etc.
This is for meat & population control???
The wild hogs in our area when pressured become nocturnal & hard to find.
To hunt its best to trap with bait or hunt over bait.
Traps should be without a top & the walls short enough for a deer to jump.
We clean all the females & immature males ( to about 100 lbs)
In pens they are dispatched with a 22 behind the ear.
Hunting over a feeder is more fun , set up 75-100 yards downwind of feeder & trail. You can wear anything ( hogs have poor vision) & we do as a party hunt with a couple people/ stand.
We rarely clean more than 5 at a time , it just becomes so much work ::)

I don't know that many folks would clean and eat them but I wonder if that would work for tourists (in season, of course).
Everyone is entitled to my opinion

You have a unlimited supply on the island Turtle! And your tourist season runs all year long ???

there's no season for feral hogs in Texas
they are classified as pest
you don't even need a hunting license if you are hunting them on your own land
we can hunt them 365/24/7 by just about any means
gun, bow, dogs, traps, helicopters

Always been a sore spot for me. A license to hunt on your own land......
