hog repellent-wild pigs. Is there anything to keep them from bothering trees and plants?

Question

they are after the water and mud. they trample the plants and push over the small trees. I would eat them if I could but I never see more than the tracks.

Answer 1

Hmm, there would have to be something that bothered them but then again they are pigs and eat trash so... Set some humane traps if you can and then shoot 'em if you are going to eat them but don't make them suffer.


P.S. If you've ever seen how big these things get you'd know a dog wouldn't help much...

Answer 3

Since hogs tend to stay in or near cover, it is best to have something that will drop them immediately rather than have to track them through brush. Further, since most hog hunting is at fairly close range, you dont need a wounded hog turning on you. In a nutshell, you will want a cartridge with a fairly heavy bullet that will penetrate deep. As far as rifle configuration, easy handling and set up for low light shooting since hogs are hunted very late in the day or early in the morning. Either iron night sights or a low light reflex sight like a Trijicon Reflex or Eotech are great. In Texas, there are professional hog hunters who get paid by ranchers to clean out the hog populations. Some common firearms include Winchester / Marlin Lever Actions in 44 magnum or even 45/70 AR15's in alternative calibers like the 450 bushmaster 12 Gauge (riot gun type like a Remington 870) with slugs or 000 buckshot Handguns like the Smith & Wesson Model 29 in 44 magnum, or if you feel the need for the big bang, a 500 Smith & Wesson or 460 Smith & Wesson will drop them where they stand. Yes, for smaller hogs (50-150 lbs) you can get by with a 223 Remington with a quality hunting bullet like a 60 grain Nosler Partition, but this would not be good for shooting 200-400 pounders. In Texas, feral hogs are considered vermin and can be hunted 365 days per year, 24 hours a day with no limits. Get your night vision or thermal scope out,,, its legal for hog hunts. Some pros ride mules since the hogs are smart and can tell the difference between 2 legs and 4 legs (think 4 legs is a steer).

Answer 5

pigs are pigs thats what they do they root in wet ground
should be fun for you to find out the extent of damage they can do
if they are wild pigs close yourself in securely with jackel wire ,that is at least a quarter of a meter buried into the ground

they are useful in orchards to eat fallen and rotting fruit
but any small trees or plants they will uproot and eat the roots if they can
but i dont have to tell you that

got a wild boar myself ,but she is tame ,and very sweet.

eats out of my hand
and then tries to uproot the plants if i would let her.
