I think common sense would indeed say that you can't eradicate hogs by hunting. That hasn't worked anywhere, so common sense says it isn't gonna start working. I know very little about feral hogs, but I've read that you can run them off your land with hunting pressure. We have seen only 2 hogs on our place in over 50 years, and both of them passed away quickly. That was 10 years ago and we haven't seen any since. If we ever see any more, we will try to convince them to leave. I know there are hogs just a few miles away, and I hope whoever has them can eradicate them, but I can only deal with them if they are on my land.

It stands to reason that some hogs can be run off a property same as deer will but I don't think they will be completely gone anymore than deer. Some of them will still be there just like deer will. They may become more nocturnal but they won't completely leave as long as there is food to be had.
