Oh, and I forgot....

I suspect that we catch MORE sows, shoats and pigs...maybe even 2 or 3 to 1. Yesterday was quite typical. We caught 1 big gilt that was bred, 2 shoats (1 boar and 1 gilt) and a decent boar. But, I have become reluctant to post pics of them if they are ripped or torn by the dogs due to some of the negative publicity. But, I do enjoy catching the big boars and barrs! I try to put the dogs on their tracks and target them. Especially on my personal properties that I hunt. I am not seeking to eradicate them on those properties...just control them and provide opportunities at trophy hogs, which are highly desirable to most people. Most people don't even care to see pics of a bunch of dead shoats and pigs. BUT, that same person enjoys seeing pics of trophy hogs with large tusks!

As much as the ALDCNR and it's Biologist hate it.....Sport Hunting of hogs IS enjoyed by a fairly large segment of the hunting community.
