Have 2 cousins on middle, north/south wise farms. One near Scott AFB. The other at the eastern side near Effingham. They say no hogs there. Doesn't Missouri have them?

I like bbq let them come to wis con sin. Something else to hunt beside deer.

I think it would be better if you started a go fund me so we could send you south to hunt them than invite that kind of crop damage here.

The state says they arent here, but then puts a law in effect that you can only shoot a wild hog during shotgun deer season and only if you have an unfilled shotgun tag. Claims if we shoot the hogs that dont exist then the professionals will have a harder time eradicating the hogs that dont exist.

They did that because in states that allow year-round feral hog hunting there usually is a human-assisted hog population increases.

So, remove the legal opportunity to hunt em and folks don't have the incentive to "move em around" and stock new areas.

Farmers have crop insurance for that stuff.

That pig looks like it has fur vs hair, lol.

When hunting in WI several years back on a military base they had a wanted poster about wild pigs. It kind of surprised me because I never seen or heard of any wild pigs near the place.

Crop insurance doesn't cover my pasture or hay meadow that is torn up from hogs.

What do the farmers do down South? They deal with the hogs . Buy thoes big rounded traps get the son to shot them them donate the meat to a homeless shelter.

Farmer are rich! I pass by farms and see old tractors in the weeds ,I also see multiple tractors,big trucks trailers .all thoes things cost money! I don't want to hear we're poor.

Swamp hit it…they wise up quick to corral traps. The first year or so we were stacking them up in the trap. Now you have to have a never seen sounder show up to get caught. What’s worse, is just that camera for the trap seems to run them off. I had an entire sounder coming in every night, we moved the hog camera there and they vacated the area.
On my ride through this morning I saw lots of tracks and even pigs ears in the field next to where the camera is. We’re going to bait it up hoping they’re used to it now. We’ll give it a week of feeding then out the trap up and see if they still come in.
You’d think running dogs would run them off, but generally that very evening they’re back on camera. I’ll continue my night treks taking out what I can. Heck, you’d think shooting almost a dozen at one general location would run them off, but the very next night they’re back on camera.
