    Hog hunting......anyone doing it?

    I'm surprised I'm not seeing more hog hunters posting. There aren't any to hunt around here, unless you go to a game farm in Tennessee, but I understand it's pretty big in Texas etc.

    I would think this would be as popular as coyote hunting, but with the benefit of being good eating.

    That's right and it would give you another opportunity to use your smoker!

    Two things I have dreamed of doing, hunting hogs and shooting prairie dogs. There are now more coyotes around here than woodchucks. It used to be I could go out on a nice summer evening and at least shoot a couple of times that night. The only luck I had with coyotes is in thick stuff, a long shot might be a 100 yards. Even though we have lots of fields around here, seldom will you ever see one out in the open.

    I agree with you Sled, nothing better than shooting a pest that tastes good...and don't mean prairie dogs

    Nope but we took this mean ol oppossum out of one of the green fields over in Alabama.
    Pretty sure he'd been eating up all the supplemental deer feed.
    A good wife and a steady job has ruined many a great hunter.

    I lived in Georgia for 62 years prior to ending up in Maine. Hogs are a plague there and I lived near them but never hunted them; I just have no excuse. There are none up here. My friend use to hunt them just a few miles from my home and I had hunted there extensively for deer, etc, back in the 1960s. My view is that they can multiply much faster than hunters can kill them.
    Old guys know stuff.

    Even large coral traps have a hard time makeing a dent. I like that I can always go get some meat any time of year.

    Not that I've done it, but from what I hear there are lots of wild pigs in California. Hikers and mountain bikers keep complaining about how they're tearing up the trails on Mt. Tam in Marin County.
