Default Reducing Hog Population On Our Deer Lease

Our deer lease is overrun with wild hogs. We do trap wild hogs there but that is not enough. Many of the hogs, especially the big boars, are trap shy. i have gone on a one person campaign to reduce the number of large boars on that lease.

Last week i killed a huge boar on the opposite of the creek with my .54 muzzleloder and patched round ball. Last evening i killed two big boars that were fighting over a sow on the opposite side of the creek. Both were killed with a .30-06 and 180 grain Core Lokt bullets. Those three hogs could not be retrieved because the creek was up. Hate to leave hogs lay but they have reached vermin status to the detriment of the deer.

This big boar was in a trap at the lease this morning. He was given to a family.
