Feral Hog problem in bosque county and coryell county

[Beckett]

I TOTALLY lucked out and got a place to hunt hogs for free but they show up very sporadically. I've fed this guys coons about 1000 pounds of corn and no hogs yet. Got some revenge the other evening and whacked 5-6 coons so I'm still getting some fun out of the corn expense.

Sweet... At least someone is making out!

I've heard (but haven't tried it) that if you soak the corn in diesel fuel the hogs will still eat it but nothing else will.

I hate to sound stupid, I know very little about game managment. But doesn't throwing out corn, etc. only make the problem worse? Do ranches that offer this "guided" hunt(where you shoot them from a tree house 25' from where they are eating corn left out for them) contributes to the numbers of the hogs?

Corn doesn't get sows pregnant.

I was wondering if anyone has a feral hog problem in Bosque, and Coryell county. I would love to help thin them out and put meat in my freezer. And donate Meat to local food drives please let me know either in PM or just reply thanks all.

Seriously? Have you been watching the news lately? We live in a Capitalist country, and there isn't a damn thing for free or even modest help. Hell man, the housing crisis has been a huge factor in the non-recover effort and the damn banks won't even allow refinances and give the masses who are in foreclosure the chance to pay their mortgage bill at a doable fixed rate. I'm surprised we're not being charged to fart in public yet.

Illegal to donate feral hogs to food banks or other non profits in Texas .Where can I donate feral hog meat that I do not plan on consuming in Texas? - eXtension

I figured this would be the case... I doubt you can contribute venison or other wild game either.

Venison can be donated through the " Hunters for the Hungry" program
