Few days ago i got a call from the folks at an organic veggie farm. There were hogs in one of my traps. The couple left when i showed up. Lady can't stand to see animals shot. Shot the sow and her six pigs and hauled them off. i prefer to kill pigs.

In OK a hunting license is not required to kill hogs on private property. The WMAs are another matter. The only legal weapons allowed outside deer season are rimfire rifles and shotguns with small shot. Then the OWDC hires someone to shoot hogs from helicopters.

Maybe Mudderchuck can tell me why CA is not over run with wild hogs. A cousin has a big farm on the coast north of Laguna Seca: There are wild boars but not in quantity. He does hunt them.
