Warfarin Hog Pesticide - Scary Stuff

[grasshopperglock]

All this noise about folks shooting the property up.

Reverse lease just like the Orkin man. Bonded and insured. You don't hire the guy standing out in the front of 7/11. Spray and pray idiots. You demand a precision pest dispatcher.

Ammo is money. Excess bullets cuts into profit.

You're not going to get any argument from me. I consider myself very fortunate that my neighbor trusts me enough to let me target shoot and harvest any hogs I see in his hay field.
Sure would like to see a better solution than poison, though.

I agree. Not a fan of it.

Wth are you talking about, because nothing said about allowing hunters even comes close to "bonded and insured", and by that point it's cheaper just to have someone trap them.

All noise to you, spend money and buy a few hundred acres, then see how trusting you are.

Yesterday I was listening to Ag Commissioner Sid Miller in the Appropriations committee say that he wants to cut the feral hog abatement program but keep that money and reassign it. After being asked by House members... Miller gave Louisiana and Australia as examples for using warfarin and not have any problems. FYI the people in Texas who want to use the poison will have to have a state issued poison control license. Miller also stated that Texas no long has a hog problem.

Thanks for answering my stupid questions. Like
I said I only hung paper simply cause of the costs involved. Should have known the bubba crowd would screw stuff up. Every person who I know hunts is not the kind to trash places that enables their hobby. Guess I'm just sheltered.

Not too keep on poison either way.

 

[Younggun]

I thought the same. Never understood how people could trash property that they were allowed to hunt. But the more I started looking the more I saw.

Like most things, it only takes a few to ruin it.

Too bad. "Bubba" owns most of the property.
Tide is turning, slowly.

The hog hunters on Houston's east side are pretty pissed about the poisoning plan. The possibility of other critters ingesting the carcasses and being poisoned, too is just too likely.

Animals being killed by the poison after eating a dead hog is one thing. Around here, we EAT that pork and families feed their kids with it. I've dined on pork hunted off of this land, many times and there are packages of the meat in my tiny freezer! I'm sorry about other animals dying, but we are concerned about PEOPLE being poisoned.

The only reason that I don't hunt hogs is that my freezer is too small. Friends have that meat in vacuum packed and sealed packages, then they're stacked in the freezers from top to bottom! I'm looking into getting a large freezer and I'll darned sure eat the meat!

Just a thought about a solution................. On the TV show Alaska State Troopers, they deal with large animals like Moose being killed by cars & trucks. They don't waste the meat. Animals are butchered and the meat is distributed to needy families. Nothing goes to waste!

Lets put a bounty on the pigs then butcher the hogs and consume the meat. That makes a Hell of a lot more sense than killing the animal and destroying the pork. A program like that would feed a lot of hungry Texans IF the meat isn't tainted by poison.

Roger,

I like your idea, but whose going to set up such a program and pay the bounty?

 

[Younggun]

In many states the meat processing and distribution is handled by non profits. Usually deer shot under game management plans.


Not sure about funding the bounty side, that would still come down to the fact that many don't want a bunch of hunters tromping around on their property.

After talking to my brother in law, this is to be geared toward urban area like golf courses and places where shooting hogs is restricted. I doubt we will see this in a rural setting. I know we wont use this on our land.

 

[Moonpie]

Maybe I need to invent a hog proof fence and an easy way to install it?

 

[Governors20]

They already have hog proof fences. Its called cattle panel.

Yes, people like that exist. There have even been a couple stupid TV shows about it. I don't know why they aren't utilized more. I guess the pigs aren't really as pig a problem as people say they are.

Yesterday I was listening to Ag Commissioner Sid Miller in the Appropriations committee say that he wants to cut the feral hog abatement program but keep that money and reassign it.

Perfect opportunity to create a bounty.
...or better yet figure out a way to return the funds to the people.

LOL, the money isn't going back to the people.

Use the money to pay hunters to reap the hogs and give the meat to the non-profit processing places that give food to the needy. Then money has gone back to the people.

That sounds like a great idea but I'm willing to bet the Ag Commissioner has other plans for that money.

Cattle must be removed for 90 days. That might be the deal breaker for its widespread use.

Does that really sound like something a government-type would consider doing?.....
