[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1756814, member: 6291"] You are on the right track imo. I've done some hog control and there is no silver bullet. It takes hitting them from multiple sides and now with fuel and corn and otger things so expensive it has to be done efficiently and effectively. I was fortunate to learn to trap when corn and gas was cheap and hog prices were high. It would have been an expensive learning curve now day. We do not have a market for selling hogs here any more that justifies hauling them in. What they pay won't even cover the fuel much less the hassel. We kill them and stack them for the coyotes. I'm not sure what the laws are now but at one time you could not sell a live pig and it be transported. We had a large pen, like almost an acre. At first I let a couple people come get them then I realized that was a bad idea. I started asking when and where they wanted them delivered. Technically they paid me for delivery of a free pig, not the pig. It was more hassel than it was worth IMO. Most people want it on a plate with a side of potato salad and still don’t want to pay.
