Are they actually good eating, just need killed because they are destructive bastages ? The last reason is best. The first reason is conditional.

Wonder if they could come up with a pig specific poison like they did starlings?
Wish I could get my mitts on some Starlicide. Specific to starlings? First I heard of it, sure would come in handy here. I'm hoping once the juncos head back to the hills to get the sparrow trap going and it says it'll work on starlings too at times. Them bastids take over bluebird boxes, kill other native birds, and generally crap all over everything. You TX fellas say them pigs like peanuts. Good, let 'em eat every dang one. I'm no fan of goober peas or that "butter" stuff that looks like baby poop. Picked up a couple little chocolates, fancy valentine foil wrappers on them, while at the PT place yesterday. First one was just milk chocolate. Second one, a nice size heart shaped one not just a kiss, outside was chocolate but inside was some of that nasty tasting PB crap. I was polite and didn't spew it all over the PT place like I wanted. Had to go get a mint Lifesaver to get the taste out my mouth. My local jays like them peanuts in the shell, which is cool, as I don't have to smell the dang things. Fairly specific. It's hard on magpies, crows and seagulls. Less on other birds. Well, we're not bothered by crows, the old whippet hates magpies for some reason and keeps them away from anywhere he can see them, but your mention of those two has me bothered as the jays that hang around are corvids also. Gulls rarely right in our 'hood other than flying over to the local reservoir. Good hopper years will find them out at the main road too, eating the traffic casualties. I think I'll stick with the trap and pellet gun. You have to target a specific population....and are not allowed to present the baits indiscriminately.
I am MAGA.

You'd just not want to get caught using it for that. One area farmer did just that, and got in trouble a few years ago. Give away was dead hogs scattered all over his fields... along with various other animals.

I’d like to know if Hanco has ever hunted pigs with dogs. And time of day he hunts.

Close to 600 since July of 2018. Kinda lost exact count.
. For the last couple years or so I have not bothered getting up early to get in the stand before daylight. Sleep in till 8 AM, have my coffee with a shot of Amaretto, then mosey out and run the snares and traps.
These days I mostly go out about an hour before dark. Hunt with thermal from dark-thirty til 2AM or so.
Big boars are usually solitary and move mainly at night. I have found that to be a much more productive use of my time.
GWB Schitt Geedub I dont even live there and Im up to over 120 in the same amount of time. I too quit trying to hunt them in the mornings, but I'm gonna hafta give that Amaretto thing a try  I highly suggest another called Amarula,and just use it as your coffee creamer...thank me later. I hunt mainly at night too with old school green kill lights, and I have also found the later the better. Hogs are less sensitive to the light later at night and yeah, thats when the bigger ones show up.

Yeah, we don't really have a specific population. Don't even see them here every day. Winter around here they are in big, somewhat migratory flocks. Might see them in one pasture/corral with the cows, next day I might have 50 fly in to get the seed I put out for the dicky birds. Next week they're in another corral down the road. Spring and summer I've got a few mated pairs it seems and that's what I attempt to control with the pellet gun. Oh well, more trigger time for me in a few weeks.

You steered me towards that on my 2nd trip to Namibia and I liked it so much I brought some home. Fantastic stuff, especially over vanilla ice cream!

If I wanted to eat them I'd be unzipping a couple of little porkers right this minute. A sounder of about eight came charging in like the little ones do and I got two. The little ones aren't real smart when they see the ice cream shop open for business, but they're a challenge to hit when they're running. They'll go on the pile of carcasses with the one I got Thursday night...he was pretty big, about 190 I would guess.

When I first got the lease, they hadn’t been trapped very much. I was catching 20 to 30 every time I’d go.

It seems like pigs are everywhere until you want to shoot some. Where are easy pigs… The two legged kind or the 4 legged kind? Its Texas.... if you want to find the 2 legged kind, just like any other state, find the local Walmart.... In my travels down that way, Texas does have some bigger 2 legged kind, than other states seem to... even bigger than you'd find in places like Mississippi for example.

We gots big'uns in Oregon too... but we all know, things are just BIGGER in TEXAS!  I've heard tell in Texas, that they require license plates on the asses of some of the women folk down there, but I've never seen that myself.. of course I weren't lookin for it either....
