One way not to have to buy bacon! Just pass a law that the hogs are not allowed in CA.

Once people see the true extent of serious animal problems, especially invasives, they’ll have a new appreciation for trappers.


Feral hog are nothing to take lightly. I spoke with someone that was hired to remove hogs from a hospital campus. They were so bad they were triggering the ER doors as they rooted the landscaping. Can you imagine someone having a life critical surgery and some nasty hog was running around in the ER? It’s time for the antis to snap back to reality

Let the hogs eat a few then see if they still believe in Disney Movies.

Poor hogs, what’d they do to deserve that?

they apparently wanted 25 dollars a tag for hunting A feral hog and weren't selling hardly any.

they made it no bag limit hoping to get rid of some

Spitting in the wind !

Here we have to use a octagon pen to trap them with, but we do a pretty good job at management for the hogs in LA. We also have a different subspecies that has been here since before the 1900s, still bad, but nowhere near as big or prolific as the ones in Texas.

your farmers don't

it would be cheaper for each farm to raise 2 hogs per hundred acres and when they hit 250# have a lottery for people to win them. then at least they would have a controlled cost.

Just incase you guys have never seen hog damage, here is a small sample of what I would consider "overnight damage" by a pack of maybe 10 hogs. Each of those "rootings" are anywhere from 2ft-3ft deep for what it's worth. [Linked Image]

Aren't the cats doing a good enough of control? Or are pigs ganging up on the poor kitties?

You know Cali fish and game confuse the crap outta me. Remember watching that show they had a while back following California fish and game and in one episode they where talking about how much damage feral hogs could do yadda yadda yadda then their doing a raid on this guy's house who was an "infamous deal hog poacher" and they where talking about how he's talking the natural resources from California and I'm just here like crazy

Then there was an audiobook I was listening too that was written buy a Cali fish and game guy and he was talking about a case he was working on where guys where poaching wild hogs in a game preserve. Sad they where tearing the place up and some of the management folks even said thay wouldn't mind having a cull of the dang things to reduce damage but these guys are some of the wise criminals for goin in and Killin some big boars with dogs crazy
