Three game cameras overlooking feeders at our lease show well over 100 hogs visit those feeders every 24 hours. Two large sounders visit several times per week. Many of the hogs visiting our feeders are orphaned juveniles and small pigs; all are trap shy. In the past three weeks i've killed over 20 small pigs at feeders with a Ruger 10/.22.
Hogs are well on their way to trashing the deer hunting in much of Oklahoma; i want them eradicated, not "managed". i kill hogs mostly at ponds and feeders. In the next couple of days i will wade the creek at our lease and invade a 6 acre hog sanctuary.
All hogs are fair game. Last fall i started killing large boars; so far i've killed about 15 that went over 200 pounds. My properties in central Oklahoma are also becoming overrun with hogs. Got to do something about that situation too.

Holy smokes sounds like you need to have a open invite. We did a kill on a strawberry farm a buddy asked me to come help with. three weeks of beercorn to get them coming to one area and 7 of us with our AR's in a lazy arc 150 yards out nothing survived, but the work after the kill took two days. 119 pigs done in.

After having hunted hogs in most all Southern states at one point and time, I have come to find out that they are nearly impossible to eradicate in an area. We have shot them over everything from fields to punkin patches, sweet potato farms, orchards, you name it. We have put a sizable dent in their population, but never eradicated.
They left for awhile, but were back later on. Maybe another sounder with stranglers from other maylays, but they did come back. Best this is to try different styles of traps and baits, keep them guessing.
I saw awhile back that was a maze style where they follow in a chute that loops around to the center where all the corn is. A 1 way door in the beginning, and then into a large center to the bait. They don't seem to know how to follow back out.
The other was a large pen with a remote control door. It was fed to the handlers cell phone. Pretty slick!!!
