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

I miss turkey hunting. Grew up with thousands of acres to hunt in New Mexico but since I’ve moved to Texas I’ve been missing out. Good luck on the gobblers!! I get just as much enjoyment in calling them as I do shooting

Here in Saskatchewan they are considered an invasive species and are open season. Hogs are a very smart animal. They’ll never return to anywhere,no matter how much bait is left for them,if they’ve been shot at. If you’re able to run surpressed thats the way to go.
Sadly hunting them even when it’s a permanent open season barely makes a dent in their numbers. Here in Saskatchewan feral hogs originate from the massive hog farms we’ve got. They are escaped bacon.
Well good luck on your hunt. Wild bacon is truly a treat.

Smart yes, never come back, while they may stay away for a bit, here in Texas they will come back. Great sense of smell. I like that we can hunt the, all year around, but need to trap them if you want to make a dent in them, but that is a small dent.

I love hams and sausage, but they never have enough belly fat for bacon.

I don't really hunt much other than dove hunt. I might if hogs were in my area. Here in Alabama, like other states, hogs are causing problems in some areas. What baffles me is why Alabama does not allow hunting them as well as coyotes at night. I think perhaps you can get permission, but it shouldn't have to be that way. Just my 2 cents.
