Honest question. Do you all think having a corn pile now around every bend will make the hog problem worse or make no difference? I hunt a place as a guest in Barbour county that’s loaded with hogs and they have never used corn until this year. The 2 times I hunted it this year I saw less hog sign than previous years. But wounded warriors has hunted them hard last few years during the summer and have killed about 600 i think the last 3-4 years. This is about a 1,000 acre tract Sounds like to me the pressure pushed them out.

To me it’s a no brainer it makes the hog problem worse. Yes the pressure on this property I think has pushed them off property I usually don’t get down there to hunt until January and it’s been hunted hard for 2 months. Those damn pigs wise up quickly

It definitely hasn’t helped matters…….I used to hunt down near the sod farms on 82 in Barbour Co in the time range of 6-10 years ago…..We didn’t really have hogs on the place I hunted except for an occasional stray sighting at first….I actually occasionally hunted the same place as a guest for the 7-8 years prior to that and you never saw them back then…..Once all the corn started flowing though BOOM!!....they moved in to the property to live. They’ve pretty much filled in now from Eufaula to Montgomery…..

I don't see how you put out enough poison to materially impact the hog population without devastating native populations as well. is killing more coyotes , coons , possums , stray dogs , ect a bad thing ? big problem is using it a way deer dont eat it . find some fish guts add sodium nitrite, dig a hole, there you go sodium nitrite,is used to cure meat . buy it right off amazon

I don't see how you put out enough poison to materially impact the hog population without devastating native populations as well. Sodium Nitrite is fatal to hogs in small doses but it does not impact the native species. From the article: The bait offers a more effective control method with the bonus of being humane, Gentry said. Within three hours of consuming the bait, hogs become sleepy and die.
Sodium nitrite is an ideal toxicant, he said, because it is deadly to swine and eventually breaks down into compounds that do not harm other species or pose environmental concerns.

Humans are highly sensitive to it. 2.6 grams can be a lethal dose. I can't possibly imagine we start broadcasting that into the woods. Anything that is going to attract hogs will attract other animals. It's a broad spectrum vertebrate poison... not selective at all. Just looked at the study. Killed birds, coons, and basically anything else that decides to try it.
