I was reading a article in an Alabama outdoors magazine.They saying that Alabama has been chosen to be part of the hog nitrate poison program. I know I am alone when I say that it seems that the state is less focused on improving the deer population and more focused on eradicating hogs and coyotes.I can remember when people would pay big money to hunt hogs out of state. Now that we have them and have interest in hunting them we are trying to get rid of them anyway possible .Instead of being "how old?"its going to be"how long?, because all that we have left are squirrels.

I would personally rather see them eradicate yotes then pigs but would like the pig population kept in check.

i dont mind the hogs. Personally, I prefer hog dog hunting over anything else. Walking them bulldogs into the woods to a bayed up boar hog, thats trying to kill everything around it. Not knowing if he's fixing to cut loose and run you down. Well, to say its a rush is an understatement.

No need for the poison in my opinion, just allow hunting over bait for hogs out of deer season with no permit required.

Hogs will never go away. Lots of people like them, plain and simple.

Welllllll......i only wanna eradicate them a li bit....maybe leave some to play with. Yotes need to die....want them out of bama..period

Coyote extrapation unit.. I have a good resume an youd have to pay me but not a whole lot..gas money an sammiches...be good to go

wild hogs are a scourge brought in for sport hunting that got out of hand (russian hogs, not feral pigs...aka, didn't know the species they introduced and how prolific they are) and should be eradicated. ask any farmer or landowner that has been affected by them if they would rather keep them around for "fun" or take out the entire sounder in one fell swoop and I can almost guarantee their response.
a hog here and there does nothing for control, you're just educating the rest of the sounder.

Yep

I agree about killing coyotes ,but you need predators to help keep things in check.

Bobcat, foxes, hawks, owls, could get the job done.

We are predators.

We are opportunists not predators

I want both hogs and coyotes eradicated!
A lot of people don't realize how many young deer the coyotes take in a year.
When you have a 15' bat wing cutter drop off in a hog hole and the gear box splits wide open you will hate them too! Not to mention how many roads and food plots are torn up by them you have to repair during the summer.
I should add, I enjoy hunting them. Probably more then deer. When you are the land owner you would rather have then dead.

Piss on the hogs. Hope they become extinct! Except for the farm raised one cause I do like some bacon.

I have hogs(lots of them) where I hunt. Ifeel like if we had less hogs, we may have more deer

I’ll come kill everyone of those sorry suckers i see. I am honest, don’t steal, tight lipped, against the idea of me ever wanting to lease another acre of land for as long as i live, and even if i did want to steal your lease i couldn’t afford it. Pm me

If you have hogs and coyotes on your property, the best means of control is hardcore year-round trapping and use of pens.

Hunting both is a blast. Incredibly fun. Stalking, with dogs, whatever. Great fun.

But trapping is greatly effective. Learn to trap or find a trapper though the Alabama Trappers & Predator Control Association -- http://www.atpca.org/ -- and work with them on your goals. Yotes obviously can affect deer and turkeys, but hogs are opportunists and can impact deer, too.

I believe in another thread here in the Trapping & Varmints forum, Goatkiller said he'd trapped 18 coyotes so far after figuring he might get a few. Trapping yotes and hogs will help deer, turkeys and other wildlife, not to mention helping keep your tractors and gear from falling into a giant hog rut in a field.

This. After landowner started paying a trapper to get rid of the pigs 2 years ago, there has been a remarkable reduction in the population. Don't get very many pics of them any more while running the deer cams and only saw 1 group of pigs all deer season while hunting. Damage has been noticeably reduced. They trap all year long and run them with dogs about 2 times a month during the non-hunting season. Never going to get rid of them completely, but I would say they are well managed.

Not allowing the hunting of deer over corn actually helps the hog population out. The hogs go to the corn and you can't see them because you can't legally hunt near the corn. What deer hunter is going to waste the little time they get to hunt just trying to shoot a hog if they are after deer. And if he get's caught trying to hunt a hog over corn he will get fined as if he is hunting a deer. Just one of the problems I see that helps the hogs grow. Hogs really are hogs when it comes to corn they love it.
