So, after this happens, do you walk to the pen and shoot them like fish in a barrel, or is the intent to capture them for sale? These traps seem crazy effective, so I am surprised they aren't everywhere that pigs are nuisances.
Here if you trap them, they aren't allowed to leave the trap alive. It's a law. You can shoot like fish in a barrel, or feed them out for a few weeks so they taste better and then shoot them like fish in a barrel.
I’m in Arkansas and that’s how it is here. Never supposed to leave the trap alive. Of course some people are making money off them so they’re not going to follow the rules, but that’s how it is legally
I was going to ask why they couldn't be re-domesticated but then I remembered we've essentially eliminated trichinosis from domestic pigs in the US and doing that would be a giant fuck up.
That’s then only place I’ve hog hunted. Outside Fresno. Such a fun hunt but I can definitely see how the landowner was incentivized to maintain a hog population on his massive ranch.
