Thread: New neighbors....not wanted.

It is open year round in Arkansas, 24/7 on private land and some restrictions on public. Those 2 little pigs with the stripes are young pigs. They would be some fine eating. Need to get you some buckshot and bait with corn. Trapping may be the most effective, but myself and a buddy have virtually cleared out 1300 acres with shotguns and buckshot. It is not pretty, but it is effective.

Hogs are terrible. They sure destroy some fine habitat and it does not recover quickly.

Got the trap set and baited with sour corn and strawberry jello powder. They are eating the corn around the trap, but the sow is smart enough to stay out of the trap
so far. Just a matter of time. No season on private property, reproduce every 13 weeks, Slop 'em heavy for a week and slaughter 'em.

reproduce every 13 weeks,

Close, gestation is 114 days, 3month 3 weeks and 3 days. with them in the wild they will probably have 2 litters a year once they get the young weened off

Had two game wardens stop by and they had seen the sow and piglets in the hay field in the middle of the day. They are the ones that told me reproduction was every
13 weeks. Don't really matter much as long as they can be eliminated as often as necessary.

Yes Sir, I am finding myself surrounded by hogs, but I'm geared for fighting back. Love the Hot Springs area, especially Lake DeGray (Shouse Ford). Eagle Mountain Lake
is in a world of hurt right now. Really low. Rain in the forecast, come on down!

Think the babies are striped but will turn dark when grown.

Looks like a Hawaiian pig roast is in order. But dat big one would sure make some smoked hams

Decided to go bigger with the trap. The other one was on the small side. This one is 16' long. Getting them used to walkin' in and out for a few days before putting
the door on to capture them. Creek runs behind it and plenty of cover to keep it hidden from public view. Found a large area torn up today where I did not need the
ground tore up. More corn fermenting and they gonna be drunk when they get caught. Smoked hams sound good.
