RE: Need some questions answered about hogs
We hunt with dogs and mules (have you ever tried to keep up wth dogs running?) and have never had a problem with eating any of the meat. They will run them out of the area for a while but I promise the pesky things will come back. With a boar (of any size) you want to castrate him asap. I would definately take the sow out NOW and start working on the smaller ones -- they reach reproduction age FAST! Sadly, you will probably never get rid of them completely.
As for attracting them, we have put corn in diesel and let it saok a few days before we put it out. We have also put it in water and let it sour before we put it out. Both are disgusting but attracts the hogs like crazy.
The small ones are wonderful BBQed whole!!!
