Inside City limits? Game camera up to know what time they are coming?
No off of Elmo Weedon
I can blast them away for him if he can't find a trap/trapper. Just need to set up a game camera (which I have) to see when they are coming. They will be coming about the same time every night, give or take 30 minutes.
If the owner does not want guns fired, I have a crossbow that can be used. Guns will push them away faster, but two or three night with a crossbow will push them away due to pressure as well.
I have hunted for 30 years, know and practice all safety routines. If he needs help let me know.
My daughters VB season is over in two weekends so will have some time if they want some help.
they can keep the meat or donate to a local charity or let it lay and rot.
I'll even clean them if they do not know how to clean them but want to do something with the meat!

Has he seen 10-15 or is this a guesstimate?
I thought this thread was going to be about Northgate at 2am

I see double that every few days at our place (on the river). We trap 'em, we shoot 'em... but there's always more! 
Unfortunately now that it is a sport you will see less trappers and devoted pest control enthusiasts. We once did it as a living but now many land owners want to charge instead of pay. I am personally never going to pay someone to get rid of their pests. Not saying it definitely makes a difference but it's got to effect the population some.
I can also help. I own a trap but a lot of hogs won't go into one at first. It can be hit and miss. KSP is correct, they need to be shot into. I also have a gamecam and have hunted for 30+ years and am also willing to take some of the meat or let them lay, which ever works.
KSP, contact me at hossfly308 at hotmail dot com it you want some help.

Without a helicopter and an AR-15 you are not going to effect the population by shooting a few here and there. They reproduce faster than you can shoot them from the ground.

We were clearing out atleast 100 a week at 6 people. Again not saying it helped but you never know. The navasota was by far the worst area we delt with. I remember seeing heards of 20 or more every day we were out.

So that Youtube video... what do you do with the hogs once they're caught in a trap like that? Shoot them from atop a ladder? Leave them to die of starvation? I can't imagine they're easy to shoot at between the slats in the trap.

We gathered them into one cage on a trailer. Live payed more, but we didn't trap much and the guy who we used to sell to is no longer here.

I see where his guess is it might have an effect on their population, but didn't take his post as he is out to get hogs and their population down. That is an impossible task. All you can do is run them off your place for a while. They will ALWAYS return.

quote:I must respectfully disagree that you "need" a helicopter and an AR15. That is an effective tool, but it's not the only way. Close to a populated area it's probably not an option. If they get shot into enough, and they will, they will leave the area. They aren't going to stick around and keep coming back to get shot.quote:
