Nothing but pigs...

[Codyrgrs]

50 acres in Leakey (Real County). Seems like we have been overran with pigs in the past couple of years and are seeing less deer! We have been shooting every single one we see. Any of yall having issues with this takeover in surrounding counties?

The solution !

They’ll always eat for free when they can. Time for a fence.

Fences don’t seem to keep these pests out for very long.

You need better fences then. Really should say pens around feeders.

Round pen of hog panels.
take away the food source and they will look elsewhere

We used to trap by the Frio there in Leakey on one of the camp grounds. Took loads of pigs off that property. The caretaker changed hands and we lost the opp to trap there.
My cousin just bought a Pigbrig trap and we have yet to set it up. Just shooting them and catching one to 3 at a time in a box trap. We have a good amount of hogs in Kerr co and there is a $12 bounty on hog tails. So we not only help our deer and save some corn. We recover a few dollars also. We have been getting a monster on cam and he has been tempting us to go sit for him.

Wow, really. I surprised to hear this. Have good friends on the border of Kerr and Kendall counties and they only see a couple every so often. But there is a pretty larger hill/cliff near them that probably keep them away from the southern area of Kerr where they are.

And they actually are hoping for more numbers. Haha.

Looks like you have a big nasty there. But like his coat.

We are close to the Gillespie/Kerr/ Kimble border.That big nasty is there right now and I am too tired and lazy to go shoot him. My cousin is gonna try and put the stalk on him with the thermal later.

Man when i was at TAC at the natural bridges caverns i was talking to the land owner of the property surrounding the place and they were saying that they had been pulling traps for weeks and still could not keep them away, and that they are getting bad out there

We hunt on the Eastern side of Kerr County midway between Kerrville & Comfort. In the last few years, the number of hogs we've seen on cameras has dwindled a lot. But this last year has seen a big resurgence in them. But they aren't really in the same areas on our lease like before. Years past they hung out more along the creek bottom. Now they are pretty much staying up on the tops of the hills.
