I have been thinking about this. The owner of my lease wants hogs killed. He doesn't care how. Some of you may not understand this but I liken hogs to rats. They are vermin.How many of you are concerned about the suffering a rat goes through when it eats the poison you put out for it?
Hogs are fun to hunt. I enjoy it almost as much as I enjoy deer hunting, however I put the animals in very distinct and different catagories. I liken killing hogs to killing rats. Dead is dead and that is all that matters. I understand that I'm opening myself up to criticism. Thats OK. I just want you to understand how some people feel about feral hogs. They are not a noble game animal in the minds of many.
I would much prefer a shot at heart/lungs, however if a head shot is all that is offered I will take it.
How many of you that condemn this have experience with hogs?
Critr-Gitr, your opinion is yours and I respect how you feel. I hope people may understand better how I feel whether or not my opinion is respected.
