We have recently become over run with hogs on our land. Trapping no longer works, and shooting them doesn't seem to help. Any recommendations?

Why do suppose the trapping isn't working? Do you mean, they won't come to traps or you just aren't making a dent with the traps?

Break down and buy the gate and electronics from Elkhunter. Whole sounder trapping is where it's at, they'll definitely get trap shy with smaller traps.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

You gotta move them traps too. Can't leave them in the same place. Mix it up.

2 options imo. Trap them or get another piece of property. You are going to have to catch the entire Sounders to see a difference. False.... You have been drinking to much of Elkhunters koolaid. Lol. I hunt a track of land with dogs that started out loaded with hogs after turkey season to now you have to search far and wide to just find a track. They will move back in between now and the end of turkey season and i will get started again. But its a losing battle either way because to the north of the property is a 5000acre breeding ground that no one hog hunts or traps.

The pigs set up shop and stay until manually removed where I hunt. You hunting them and running them with dogs may make them move but we dont want to chase them around we just want to kill them so we trap the entire group. Eventually another group will move in but it is normally a few months before it happens. I am fixing to remove the most recent group from our place and we will be hog free again for a bit

I am fixing to remove the most recent group from our place and we will be hog free again for a bit Killing 196 in 26 hunts is far from just chasing hogs around. I can do the same thing with dogs in less time as you can with a trap. There is no prebaiting or waiting till the hogs get brave enough to go in a trap. And It doesn’t cost the land owner a few grand for someone with “Good Dogs” to catch them like one of those traps cost. I’m not gonna be like y’all fancy trap guys and claim my way is the only way. Trapping and Dogs are both effective ways to control hog population. Each has there up sides and down sides. It all depends on the way the land owner wants to handle it.

Trapping and Dogs are both effective ways to control hog population. Each has there up sides and down sides. It all depends on the way the land owner wants to handle it. I have killed every hog on the property except 4 in 5 drops of the gate. That's only 81 but it has not been difficult. The trap takes 2 hrs to set up, it normally takes 4 bags of corn and less than a week to catch. My first drop caught 38 pigs required 2 trips to bait trap and 4 days waiting until the entire group was inside at once. If dogs are that efficient I am greatly impressed. The ones I have seen hunt with dogs (not you obviously) are not that efficient, not quiet and not painless for the hog.

We had some property in plantersville where I nicknamed the hogs "Nomads". They would show up in late August to September and we'd trap or shoot them through spring. Then they would completely disappear through the summer, and show up again in September. Year after year, same routine.

"I can do the same thing with dogs in less time as you can with a trap." I guess the Devil is in the details. In order for this statement to be true you have to be counting the time the trap is set and waiting. In no way will you ever do it in "Less Time" simply counting man hours. But, don't let me get in the way of a good story. LOL
