[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1614905, member: 6291"] Bad news is... you will never get rid of them. Start fencing them out now. I'm not a net wire fan but the 3' net will work. Just run it right over the top of the current fence. You can also string barb wires every 3rd notch on the t-post from the ground up to about 1.5-2'. That is what I personally did. A hot wire would work also down low. It's probably the fastest but also the highest maintenance. You really have to hit them from all angles. Fence out, trap, and shoot. Fencing them out is the most expensive but it's also the most effective and permanent fix. Trapping is a good way to take out large numbers of new comers. You will have to shoot or hunt out the old smart hogs. Trapping and shooting will give you periods of time where you may not get hit buts it's only a matter of time before the next group moves back in. The remote traps are awesome but your looking at $3-5k. [/QUOTE]
