Looking to hog hunt

[TreyG-20]

One of these days, I'd like to try a big batch of Tannerite armed with shrapnel of some sort.

I have seen this done before. No shrapnel though.

And?

Not sure how legal that would be, but if it is, take the shot from a lonnng way out.

5,000 acres of private land, miles from the nearest county dirt road....i got the legal side covered. ;-)

As for the long shot, i got plans for a directional charge placed behind a small portable steel shield. I'll have to draw it up and email it to you.

It's been a good read.

Hoji, I fear you are talking to a brick wall. Thanks for your efforts to help with the hog problem in Texas.

I feel that way as well sometimes.

 

[TreyG-20]

And?

Gruesome.

So what's the point? If you want to educate someone, make the point, don't talk around it. It might likely be something I don't know.

I thought it was pretty self-explanatory. You were responding to this post:

Hoji is not just being abrasive. He is a guy who was paid to exterminate them by the state not all that long ago. The only way a "real" hog problem is dealt with is by trapping and mass extermination on a regular basis. Allowing a few hunters to come out and shoot a few hogs won't solve a landowner's problems and in fact just invites more liabilities on their behalf. If you wanna shoot some pigs you gotta pay to play or just know someone. There is no happy medium.

Of course the 1 or 2 hogs you shoot won't magically come back to life and continue destroying your land. That's not the point. The point is the bolded statement above that TexMex, Hoji, and others have been trying to make - it does essentially nothing to solve the problem, and exposes the landowner to untold liability.

They always are. Same points on both sides. I could recite them in my sleep.

Gruesome.

Awesome. Need video.

 

[Renegade]

The simple truth is, most land owners would rather have a hog problem then a hunter problem.

All of you are talking about doing something that does not "help" with the problem.

Except that it does zero for the actual elimination of said pests to kill them one at a time. Most hunters are not skilled enough to take multiple shots on moving targets either.

please quit kidding yourselves. One off hunting does nothing but make pigs smarter and harder to get rid of. If you want to hunt pigs, make friends who can take guests to their lease, pay the day rates, or buy property.

Your offers to help with the problem are anything but helpful.

I seriously doubt that it doesn't help. It might not help much, maybe not even noticeably, but it has to help.

That said, I don't offer.

On the other hand, I also dispute that I couldn't hit a moving target at range. Don't believe me? Put it up. Get me the land, a dozen hogs, and scoped suppressed AR and I'll drop half of them before they're out of sight.

Having dealt with both hogs and people, this makes sense. I'd rather deal with the hogs.

LOL....bragging on the internet.....what grade are you in?

Trust me. It doesn't help at all. As to the rest of your statement, meh.

Average 9 survivors per litter, 3 litters a year per sow. Killing a couple of hogs just doesn't have any effect on the population.

You forgot to add that the female offspring are having litters six months after they are born.

Yep,

That said, I still shoot every one I see. And my neighbors do likewise.
We've never had many and so far have been lucky they don't come around here much.
