Caught 4 small feral hogs at a time, this morning

[jkim13]

Last year, I made a trap for wild hogs (feral hogs) because they were damaging my orchard and gardens so badly.
This morning, I caught 4 small feral hogs at a time, a total of 8 hogs ever since.
And still so many hogs I can see in the video.
It is happening in northern California.
Unbelievable...

Here is video that I made trap for feral hogs last year.

You need to build a round pen with an automatic gate to try to catch the whole sounder in one shot

We’re they good?

make your self a squeeze chute,nut the boars keep them for a coupla months and do some fine dining. sows are easy just do not stress them out ,and take them out as freezer space becomes available. the way things are now I would be very hesitant to shoot them and just bury them. get the neighbors togerther and have a cleaning day .

The installing a round pen with an automatic gate trap could be a matter of surrounding neighborhoods.

I don't think I can make it by myself.

I will contact all my neighbors to know what is going on for feral hogs around this area.

Thank you for your suggestions.

My mom got them and I put 4 400 watt led lights on her house and they quit coming in her yard

Problem with traps is the hogs learn quickly.

You will keep trapping the small ones, but they're not really the problem. The bigger ones will keep reproducing faster than you can trap them.

When you trap, you almost must use a very large trap and try to get 90% of the sounder in the first trap focusing on the large pigs. Otherwise, the larger pigs learn from it and will never go in that trap again.

My mom was scared of the hogs she made me buy her an air horn. And as luck would have it about 2 weeks after they showed up at her house a lady north of Houston got killed by wild hogs. Mom was freaked out for a while after that.

An AR-15 with these is far safer…

Not for her she won’t shoot a gun . The lights worked and they have started cleaning that land finally and the hog have gone away.

Eat them pigs!
A guy can't get too much free pork.
I sometimes kinda wish we had a few of them in our area, then I could quit raising pigs and just harvest the wild / feral ones.

Not being sarcastic, but have you asked her?

 

[MFV]

Yes she won’t do it

Feral pigs have very lean meat.

Grind it up and cut it with their porker cousins fat...mmmmmmmm

Yup, that'll fix it right up!

A 50 cal PCP, 2,000 psi, Air Rifile with a 300 grain pellet will kill a feral pig with hardly any noise.

The Lewis and Clark Expedition had a 50 cal air rifle that could kill grizzly bears.

First time I tasted small wild pig ribs in my life.

Made instant bbq pot with broken cultivator disk,

Of course, I have a big BBQ grill and fire pot, not a personal pot...

The tasted.is better than expected with only sea salt.

Very tender and smells like a beacon after well done.
