"Control hunting" for hogs?
|
Does anyone here know of any place in the USA where farmers or ranchers would welcome a hunter to come kill off some of the problem hogs free of charge?
I have heard many times of land owners that are asking for help with over populations of hogs, but I have not been able to find one. Is that just a rumor, or are there such places to go where hogs could be hunted for free?

I've often seen and heard the same stories of hogs causing huge problems, however the land owners what large trespass fees to have you come in and reduce the hog numbers. As far as I'm concerned they can take care of there own problem!!

There are ways to hunt hogs for free in Texas. But not typically through land owners. Then again, you wouldn't expect the same guys who invented high fences and white tail husbandry programs to give their pests away for free, would you?
Shoot me a PM if you interested and I can give you some ideas on a spring hog hunt for cheap if not free.

Hey Daryl, that sounds like it could be fun, but you are going to have to let this uninformed American display his ignorance.
Where is Neale?
I have never heard of it.

I think Daryl means to come visit us in the land down under andwe can show him how we drop our pigs (hogs) around "Fatboys" part of Australia
& I for one will be very keen to share a tale or two around the campfire with such a learned contributor to this forum.

Steve,
Some Texas counties will even pay you for every hog killed. I have been planning a hunt there for some time - a lingering divorce won't let me do anything like I want to. A close friend has a nice ranch in Sonora with pigs and goats. Let me check with him and get back to you.
Cheers!

Oh Mehul, that would be GREAT.
Too bad we could not meet down there. It would be a way for you to get out of Ill-Annoy, but then you might not ever go back.
What the heck, I am sure you'd be very welcome in Wyoming. So even is Texas was not to your liking, you'd have a place better than your "gulag" to go back to.
Not a big trick there however. About anywhere would be better, don't you think?

One time a few years ago, a friend of a friend had a blow out on a tire in a pretty remote location. He then found his spare tire was also flat. He had a CB radio in his truck and he was able to contact a trucker who stopped at a truck stop and called me on a pay phone.
I didn't recognize the name of the man with the flat tire, but he had told the trucker to tell me he was Brian’s neighbor. I then remembered him as Brian had introduced me to him about 6 months before.
Anyway, the trucker told me where he was and I thanked him. I loaded up some tools and a spare tire in my Land Cruiser. I drove 55 miles out into the Nevada desert to find him and we changed his tire. He thanked me profusely. He then tried to give me $40 but I refused, telling him to do the same for someone else some time.
So……. The highlights of the story are these;
I got a call for help
I dropped what I was doing and drove 110 miles round trip to help the man that needed the help.
I paid for the gas.
I trusted him with my tire and wheel. (Which he returned to me about 1 month later)
I refused the money he offered.
What do you think I would have done if a man asked me to help and to come to him to help him with a problem that was too big for him to handle by himself, and when I got to him he asked me to give him several hundred dollars for the "privilage of helping him"? Most men don’t try to charge you to help them..
Anyone make a connection here? Or am I missing something?
