Good Lord. You must not have many scavengers around. I shot a decent size sow and a couple of piglets a couple of weeks ago and when I went back to fill the feeder about 5 days later I had to search for remains. I found one section of spine about a foot long and searched for the head and never could find it.

Shoot at my place you can leave a boar in the middle of a 10 acre field and buzzards wont even touch it. They just kind of melt away over a several month period.

We try not to. Been trapping and shooting yotes aggressively

Guys, I've been a guest around here for quite a while but after reading this thread I had to join the club so I could tell you about my experience with hogs and cannibilism.

My partner and I bought a trap from Barry last spring and have caught and killed 64 hogs on our 1200ac lease in Perry County.

Back in October we caught a sounder of 19 that consisted of a 250# boar, 6 mature sows, a mix of young sows and boars and 4 little pigs that still had racing stripes. One of the little ones was feeding at the gate when we dropped it and evidently tried to scoot out but got caught under it. His hind end was inside the trap. After the dust settled from shooting them all we noticed that the half of the pig that was inside the trap was completely gone. No blood, no bones, no hair, nothing. Just a little hole under where his hind end should have been.

Our camera was still running but there were so many hogs in there we couldn't determine which one ate the pig. We assume that it was the big boar. I had always heard that the boars would eat the young ones, this is as close to proof as I've seen.

Well, if the piglet was alive when under the trap, the hog didn't eat a "dead" pig PYhunter.




Welcome aboard Aldeer. Why so long in going up?

I have had them eat up a gut pile overnight

BOFF, I see your point, but I think when that gate slammed down on his back he was DRT..

As far as not joining in prior to this, I've seen the bashing some guys get. I'll just proceed with caution.

Thanks for the welcome!

Well I killed another hog more than a week ago
He was right beside a wallow and that where I left him
I walked through there yesterday evening and theres been plenty of hog activity in the wallow but the boar hasn't been touched

You might have a rare an illusive breed of vegan hogs. 😆

As long as we keep killing em I could care less if other hogs eat dead ones

I wonder if I could advertise for vegan hog hunts

I'm with you on that left horn.
We caught 6 Tuesday night,dang sure hated to make the haul to the camp and back when we had to work the next day but we had a sow in there that was about to drop her litter and we decided to kill her right then instead of having to round them all up later.
Our deer hunting has definitely improved this year since we've been working on them.

We caught 86 off our place in Perry Co last yr. Not a pig sighting since September for us! Our green fields do not have a single rooted area in any of them and 2 years ago they looked like they were getting plowed back up constantly.

We were free of them all season until recently. There are a bunch of water oak acorns still on the ground and 2 sounders have shown up now.
I don't recall ever seeing a place in our fields where it's been rooted up, but they graze the clover like cattle. I didn't know the would graze like that..

That grazing will get you killed!

I probably kill 200-300 pigs annually in hay fields. They love to graze.
