Controlling the Hog Population in Texas
BY Herschel Smith
This is the first video I’ve seen that frankly admits that it takes too much time, too many resources, and too much manpower to catch hogs in traps. And the first to admit that hunting has the most immediate and dramatic impact on the population.
There is one issue I have with the video. He says, “When you shoot one the rest won’t come back.” Hogwash. I’ve seen it happen within 15 minutes.
By the way, you see that shot at 13:13 of the video? That’s how you take hogs (direct hit to the head or just behind the ear) with smaller caliber rifles. With big bore guns you aren’t so limited.

Need to go shoot some of these.
