I asked this question about 10 years ago on here and got a ton of replies, so I thought I'd ask it again since much of the userbase here has changed.
We know that a sounder of hogs will scatter like the wind when they get shot at. If you're a good shot with your semi-auto, you might take out 2 or 3 before they're all gone. The point is that you will most likely have to pick one to shoot. But which one?
So the question is, which would have the MOST impact on the local hog population, shooting the boar(s) or shooting the sow(s)?
And asking politely, please keep it on topic and don't post stuff about using dynamite, traps, .50 caliber machine guns, etc. And we don't care about eating them; we're talking about controlling their numbers.
Some say the sows, because a sow can have 8-12 piglets twice a year. Others say the boars, because one boar can impregnate several sows.
Your thoughts?
