Hogs rooting up my food plots, giving serious thought to buying a boar buster or Jager trap. I had only gotten pics of a lone boar or two until recently. Last week pics of a sounder with 13 hogs, too much time & $ invested.

Boar buster and day hunting is your best option right now. Outside of deer season you can get a depredation permit to hunt anyway you see fit! 13 is a very controllable number.

Of course I'll shoot any hogs I see, that's not going to make much of a difference overall. I'd like to find someone near to split the cost & use of a trap.

Last year I had more than one sounder, one with 18 hogs, they haven't been back until just last week. I'm pretty sure backing up to the river we'll have more than just the one sounder again.. Is planting radish a mistake in hog country?

Going through my cards, got this pic of a trespasser. I'm surprised she didn't take my Camera or card, she's looking right at it. An honest trespasser...I'll be showing the pic to neighbors, see if I can find out who it is.

Seen them go after winter peas more than radish.....but honestly probably rooting insects more than plant roots.....pigs will graze tall forage and they like to eat rhyzomes of Johnson grass, Bermuda, etc.

Not using our corral trap at the moment....six 8' hog panels with 1" tubing frame....heavy steel pin attachment.....one-way saloon door tensioned with bungee...triggered by trip cord.....all fits in standard pick-up bed....needs t-post reinforcement....and top panels (I have some cut). You can borrow it if you want....90 mi south of Tulsa.

Thanks for the offer Doug, I greatly appreciate it and may take you up on it.

They like something in the plot better than the JG, I have a few patches nearby, haven't noticed them in it.

Looks like you have quite a paradise there, and some awesome deer as well. Too bad about those hogs tearing up such a nice plot. We don't have them here and I'm so glad. Wishing you the best in eliminating them.

G3...I feel your pain on the hogs. Trespasser looks a little freaky to me!

Thanks NH,
Another aggravating experience with the hogs for sure. Hopefully they don't make it to you, seems they're gaining ground every year.

Sounds like you deal with hogs as well, any tips on controlling them?

The trespasser definitely looks freaky, be a bit uncomfortable bumping into her with a gun.

Hate that about your hogs, Id rather have my bears thank you. Love the camo on the trespasser, deer would never realize she were a hunter. Is that a shotgun ? But really I couldn't help but notice the thick cover of growth behind her. I like that. Place is looking good.

Agree with others on creepiness of trespasser. You should take Doug up on the trap offer and get that sounder. Looks like they know how to plow a field.

It wasn't that long ago that there weren't any wild hogs over that way or over here where we are. They are definitely expanding territory! Anything you do to attract or hold deer also does the same thing for hogs...

Trespassers pics are always depressing but you can definitely make positive ID with that picture but I suppose she was probably not alone...

Thanks dogghr,

Hogs suck, I will shoot one in the face. We'll have a bear or two cruise through at some point I'm sure, neighbor 1/2 mile south had one show up last year. I can't tell what type of gun she's carrying, looks a bit like a .22 or small bore shotgun. There are several areas that are really thick & woolly. I spoke with the chief of the RFD yesterday about contacts for a controlled burn, past due.

Hogs are really starting to hurt my feelings.

Several years ago we hunted Craig county (best deer county I've hunted) no hogs. Spoke with the owners son awhile back, he now has hogs all over him, this is only a couple miles from Kansas...

Trespasser may not have been alone, I had two pics one coming, one going, nobody else in the pics. I would bet it's a neighbors kin...We'll see.

I was thinking a more along the lines of "you go that way and I will go this way and maybe we'll spook something to one another" type situation...

Fairly "butch" looking girl...might help in your description...

I got a call today from a friend that lives a couple miles from my ranch telling me my neighbor to the west shot and killed her son this morning. A quick search confirmed the incident. The man of the house passed this last spring, from what I heard he had Alzheimer's. I had not met them, my neighbor to the north ran cattle on their land...I suspect that's who she went to after the shooting. Really a sad deal, she's claiming he attacked her. I guess we'll get the truth after the law investigates. An odd thing happened last Sat night about 9pm. I was staying at the ranch, 10 or so rapid gunshots to the west of the house. I walked out & looked around but nothing seen.


MAYES COUNTY, Oklahoma -

A mother said she shot and killed her son Tuesday morning, according to the sheriff.

The incident happened at a home east of Mazie.

Welcome to rural Oklahoma...one of our neighbors built some little rent cabins and one of his renters was always late so he went 1 day to serve an eviction notice and the guy shot and killed him and burried him on the property...he wasn't very bright and was arrested almost immediately.

Another neighbor died in their house with a couple house dogs and was eaten before found...
