KFOR news clip about the hog issue in OK

[hunter966]

Ok Corgi Rancher,
There’s two types of people concerning hogs…..
Those that have wild hogs and those that will have wild hogs!

Get ready for’em.

We rent a really good hog trap here in Caddo County and surrounding counties, the majority of landowners/renters have hog problems.

I really wish I could find someone that would let me pop a couple hogs. I have a 458 SOCOM and a 300 blackout that I've always wanted to use on them. But I have no connections to anyone that needs them taken out.

When it gets to be the problem some pretend it already is, there will be folks happy to have you shoot them.

I haven't seen any (or evidence of any) on our small acreage here. Haven't heard anyone local complaining about them. But I be they're out there. Saw plenty over in the SW corner of the state.

7 miles south of Welston. Seen them out there.

We have them all over NW OK all the way to the state line and well into Kansas
Same problem up here, most land owners want to get paid to let you shoot them.

What counties in NW Oklahoma along the KS line?

Colorado has done well.

Allowing people to charge to kill an invasive species is a perverse incentive ant its finest. Only thing worse would be a bounty on the head of wild hogs. The Cobra Effect: Good Intentions, Perverse Outcomes

I Recall a so called Study from the 90’s…Sorry I can’t Really Quote…
But it read that in the Perfect Conditions a Single Sow could Mother about Seventy Thousand Piglets in her life time…
Now Cut that in halves or thirds and count Your Wild Sows… There Ain’t No Keepin Up…

KS is doing a great job. No hunting, no hog guiding outfits. KWD traps and helo shoots them. KS biggest issue with hogs comes from Kaw Lake.

I was going to suggest the ODWC do a test run at eliminating or maybe just start getting control of hogs on WMA’s before they jump out there and want to start programs on private property.
In my opinion, if they can’t control them on state land, as a land owner I would never let them on my place.
