A buddy of mine just put in 1700' of new chip and seal road on his ranch in Texas.
Hogs are tearing it up to rub in the tar.

Obviously they are destroying his chip seal crop. Treat them as predators.
Then eat them. Win win win. |

Used tear out carpet and pour old engine oil all over it. They will roll in the oil soaked carpet instead of his new road.

LoL Geez what kind of heavy equipment are they using to rip it up? I can't even dig that stuff with a damn shovel. Hogs are using their noses I presume? their noses are tougher then my shovel?
Sounds like he has a perfect strip of land to set up an ambush with NVG. I think there is a few NV sponsors on this website. |

I would like to find a rancher who just wanted pigs killed. 15 years ago I had a Texas rancher who charged $100 a day and said kill them all. I would really like to find someone again who would grant access to the land for a small fee.
However, I understand they have a commodity and it provides income for them. It's a pay to play system now and there is no shortage of folks willing to pay $500 for 1 pig. Besides the liability/risk of having strangers shooting on your land is also an issue. I know folks who have lost cows to "hunters". If you are fortunate enough to have access to land, Best do everything you can to keep the owners happy. |

Wait a sec farmers with feral hog problems try to CHARGE the hunters for the privilege to take care of the farmers feral hog problem?How fucked it that? Is it a normal thing to do this?
Can I charge my exterminator for the privilege to come take care of the ants in my yard now too? Do people actually pay good money for the privilege to do this with a $75 100lb fee? this can't be true can it? Thats so fucked. On 20 levels that's so fucked. I would tell those farmers to pound sand. It's one thing to go to a stocked shooting preserve where all they do is hunt, I understand paying for the privilege to hunt there. But pest control for a farmer who's currently losing crops each night and has the AUDACITY to try and charge money for for someone to fix his problem for him? Holy shit the balls on that dude.... Hey I have a privacy fence that's falling apart. Would anyone here like to PAY ME for the privilege to come and fix it for me? I will not even charge you a $75 fee. Just the basic $500 a day fee.... Holy shit that's so fucked.... |

Holy shit that's so fucked.... The problem is that hunters aren’t taking care of anything. You aren’t going to solve the problem with recreational hunting. Some people may sell hunts under that guise, but it’s not the actual case. People sell hunts because there are people willing to pay for hunts. It really is that simple. If someone actually wants to get rid of hogs, it’s trickier than just letting hordes of dumbasses stomp around on your land shooting hogs. Not to mention that’s just trading one headache for a much bigger one. I for one enjoy having them, even though they do cause damage, and am more than willing to take people I trust hunting for free. |

I like how the usual suspects are whining about not being afforded the opportunity to add more problems to the poor guy's hog issue. Hunters are not a cure and can be worse than the hogs. Esp if they are the usual slob hunting crowd that demands they hunt for free. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This....fuck 99% of the ranchers with problems and charge others to take care of the problems. Hogs are less of a problem than hunters are. If you want to hunt, either put some sweat equity into a rancher's land like he did or pay to play. Stop with the lie that you are actually doing some guy a favor, you are not. I hunt outside of Rock Springs. Year round. All the critters I want to kill. Know how that happened? I found a rancher, signed a contract for a hunting lease and work his fences for him as he's getting too old to do it himself. $1500 per family member on a three year lease. I go up there around once a month. Contrary to popular GD BS, Ranchers are no evil, rich land barons trying to keep you from playtime. Surely, you can hang a gate or two and drop $41 dollars a month? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wild hogs do not produce bacon and hunters are not a solution. They can however, be a very expensive problem a lot worse than the hogs. Yep. I have 200 acres near Waco that is overrun with pigs. Want to know what happens if you let one guy have permission to shoot pigs on your land? Well, the beer trash strewn all over the place is the first headache. Then you find out this one person invited a bunch of other people who think they now have free reign to come and shoot anything on your place. They poach deer, tear up the roads, run the pigs with dogs… dogs that then attack the cattle… Hell one guy I knew had a steer shot by a “Hunter” that was chasing pigs on his land. That’s why the land owners charge money. It’s not to make money, but to repair damage from poachers AND keep the slobs out. Someone who can pay is not someone who will be as big of a problem, and they won’t bring in his cousin’s-roommate’s-brother’s-coworker’s friend who will think he has free rein of the place |
