RE: Keeping Hogs Out
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is this Red Top wire everyone keeps talking about?? |
RE: Keeping Hogs Out
:D:DIf they want in they are going to get in. You can only slow them down. I have seen some of the best pens made keep them out for a time but they will just dig under them after some time.
If you want to stop them from busting up your feeders you are going to need to hang them from trees, then you can put up a pen under them. Will help with cows but the pigs will get in. Where are you from? I live in Lubbock. |
RE: Keeping Hogs Out
I live in Weatherford, Texas, but I hunt in Gordon area which is near Ranger.
I really appreciate all the input I have received on this topic. It has made a big difference on our approach to this issue. The one thing we have in our favor is that the hogs seem to all maintain "primary residence" on our neighbors land. They seem to visit us about once a week right now (based on pictures from cameras), so our feeders must not be the primary food source. Our goal (besides killing them all) is to make it difficult enough that they would rather "shop" elsewhere!:D |
RE: Keeping Hogs Out
We've had a pretty serious hog overpopulation problem on our lease for a while. Since deer season ended my brother in law and I have hunted them really hard and it seems to have made a difference. I have been out at least 3 times a week and for the past 2 weeks haven't seen one hog. I know that we have not put much of a dent in their numbers but I think the pressure has moved them out for now. They WILL be back. When they come back I'll be waiting for them. We don't trap because of the cattle on the property. Caught a calf last year and momma sure tried hard to get us when we tried to let it loose. That was some fun!
I have seen some fresh rooting and tracks so they aren't all off the place but we aren't seeing 20 or 30 hogs in a pasture at one time. That just makes picking out a target harder. So many choices! Hunt 'em hard, they will move off. |
RE: Keeping Hogs Out
Get six panels and build a pen. That should be enough....

RE: Keeping Hogs Out
Tplay, where in Texas do you live and would you like anyone to come down to your place and help thin out the hogs that live in your area? I have two sons that would love to help and they are at that just right to learn safe hunting. Thanks Jovan

RE: Keeping Hogs Out
We use hog panels and T-posts to build our pens and it keeps most of them out. With the exception of the real big hogs. Blackwell Welding in New Bransfels builds some good pre-fab panel pens. They also work well.

Hunt 'em hard, they will move off. Yep, so true. Hogs will take off when hunted hard.. and Your right Txrookie, they will come back again. Hogs do migrate. So one way to control them, is to let them know you are there!! |
