Default RE: Need some questions answered about hogs

You have a problem. Once started in an area they are almost impossible to eradicate. Once or twice being shot atand the mature hogsgo nocturnal. Hog Wild Beast Beast by Evolved Habitatswill draw them like a magnet. The illustration on the back of the bag isno bull. The hogs will dig a crater to get to the stuff. Sows can have a litter of pigs every 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days, so they will proliferate quickly. She will come into estrus within a few weeks of having a litter. Take her out first! She will be good eating. The boar may or may not come back after you take the sowout but he would be pretty gamey eating anyhow. He will probably leave in search of another sow. The shoats probably will keep coming back to the bait site if they've gotten accustomed to it and you can sometimes get two or three at one time. By maintaining the bait site and putting up a trail camera on it you can get an idea of how many hogs you have migrating onto your property. These probably aren't the only ones in the area. Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
