How many times have you guys met these bastages that walk around incessantly bitching about hogs, yet turned you down when you asked to hunt them?
Did you ask them is they are hunters themselves, or if they let family/friends hunt?
Just because they turn you down doesn't mean they don't allow hunting. I know I would be more apt to let family and friend hunt before I let strangers hunt.
I don't get it. You can walk into your buddies house and grab a beer and a snack from his fridge, but do you expect to be able to do that at every house on the street? Family and freinds get preference over strangers usually.
Bottom line guys, the numbers prove hunting is not effective at controlling hogs. Trapping is much more effective. They are not like deer, thew diddle like rabbits and have 6-12 in a litter, and reach sexual maturity very quickly. A resouce manager in Ok showed the facts on paper to me recently on how innefective hunting is at stopping feral hogs.
If I had a hog problem on land I busted my ass for, I'm not gonna let a stranger wander all over it in the hopes he might shoot 1-2 out of hundreds. Not worth the disturbance to my land, especially if I am a hunter myself. Especially right before deer season.
This thread is like complaining because a married woman turned you down for a date. "She was bitching her husband needs to mow the grass, but she won't go out with me. What a *****."
Peoples land is there home. If they don't want me on it I can't blame them.
Your not some farmers hero who is going to rid all hogs from the bastage farmers property. You might kill 1-2, but don't act like he is an idiot because you could make his problem go away.
Most everytime I have been denied hunting permission it is because the owner has already given permission to someone else. You can't let everybody on.
Just some thoughts from a lowly peasant whose lifelong dream and goal is to be one of those greedy bastage landowners who only lets a select few on it.
If I ever am lucky enought to buy a chunk, I'll be sure to go to the hardaware store and ***** about pests.
