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.

Pigs are tricky & the big ones are hard to catch in a trap, you may need to put some cover on the trap to get her in it. It looks like most of the trees are bare there now. Try to weave some brush on the sides & top, if the pig can see the wire she won't go near it & if you have wire on the bottom cover it with dirt/leaves, if she feels the wire between her hooves she will back out. These are just some tips I have learned over the years of trappin truck loads of these pesky rooters.

Thank you. Appreciate your input. No wire on the ground, so she won't be spooked by that. Like the idea of covering it with limbs and leaves, Will get-r-done.
That pesky rootin' has to stop. Have the meat processors lined up.

Shoot them as fast as you can! We have them this year on our Alabama deer lease. Started out with photo's of four boars and one sow! Now we have twenty plus
