JAGER- Georgia Farmer Meetings

We hog hunt with dogs also. There are certain times of the annual crop cycle when dogs are more effective than a rifle at night. We always use the method most effective for the farmer at the time.

Obviously, you have not experienced our method first hand or you would realize how difficult it is to be effective. Anyone can kill a single hog from 200 yards at night, but it takes an experienced shooter to be proficient at multiple running targets with a rifle and night optics.

How many times have you turned out on eight hogs feeding in a peanut field and caught all eight? The norm is one or two with trained dogs. The norm with a rifle at night is one or two also with inexperienced shooters. When you put trained markmen behind the rifle, the norm increases to six or eight.

This isn't a contest for us. We are giving the farmer a much needed solution to their crop damage problem. It would be hard for you to understand since you are probably not located in an agricultural area.

It shows your intelligence or lack thereof

I have to say Jager, your way of killing hogs probably is the most effective for where you are at, in wide open farm country. But you will never be able to do better than dogs anywhere else. It will never work in river bottoms, clearcuts, swamps, marshes or anywhere else you cant see 500 yards in front of you

Jager is rendering a great service to every farmer, hunter, fisherman, and just plain old nature lover by ridding us of one of the most destructive pests ever turned loose (literally) on the landscape. Any wildlife manager will tell you that feral hogs are detrimental to every game species in the Georgia woods. The irony is that this pest was put here by so-called "sportsmen," and that some of them continue to perpetuate the problem.

what has trespassing to do with the discussion ,unless maybe i accedently posted on the wrong thread.

Hoghunter 102, you have a PM you had best read.

[jkade72]

Jager....you are the man. I love them youtube videos!! I think what you are doing is great. If I had a scope like that I would come pay to hunt in a New York Min..

Yes sir, I concur with your statement. It is why we promote all methods of hunting and trapping to reduce feral hog populations.

Man I have been missing the ping contest, but from this post, I agree!
BUT IMHO, if the hogs stayed there, then the Jager Pro, probably would not be after them anyway. Every video I have seen of Jager's (LOVE THEM BTW), I see them big ole Sprinkler systems in the background..........looks like the pigs he's shootin are usually in someone Garden.

I just can't figure out why the heck the state of GA considers hogs a "small game" animal where almost everywhere else considers them to be "big game" animals. You can only use a rifle during rifle deer season on the hogs. I think if you could use rifle year round on hogs, more people would hunt them. And the 426 lb boar I shot with my trusty marlin 30.30 didn't look like he was a "small game" animal, he was real big and mean looking

Georgia doesn't consider hogs as game animals at all. They are "free ranging, exotic animals and may be taken on private lands at any time of the year, by any legal means with no bag limits." While hunting over bait, or from a vehicle is illegal, landowners can get permission to dispose of the vermin in this manner.

I believe the firearms restrictions you speak of apply to WMA hunting.

Anyone who refers to feral hogs as game animals (large or small) is just RONG.

Feral hogs ARE NOT game animals. They are pests, and the only "management" practices should be aimed at their eradication.


Just for some of you who seem to have forgotten, here is what the State of Georgia says about feral hogs.

* It is illegal to stock, move or release any hogs that are not from disease-free
herds or individually tested.
* Feral hogs carry serious diseases that are transmissible to people and domestic
animals.
* Feral hogs are non-native invasive pests that compete directly for food and
cover with many species of wildlife including deer, wild turkey and quail.
* Hogs can damage habitats resulting in the elimination of rare or endangered
plants and animals.
* Hogs can destroy agricultural crops, including food plots for deer and turkey.
* Hog damage can be controlled by shooting, trapping or through the use of
exclusion fencing.
* There is no closed season and no limit on hogs on private land. Hunting over
bait, from a vehicle or at night with a light over 6 volts is prohibited. A
hunting license is required for all resident hunters 16 years or older (except
on land owned by them or their immediate family residing in the same
household).
* Commercial agriculture properties (three or more acres) experiencing hog
damage may qualify for a special hog removal permit. This permit allows
property owners (or those designated by property owners) to shoot from a
vehicle, use a 12-volt light and/or shoot hogs in the vicinity of baited hog
traps. Contact a WRD Regional Game Management Office for assistance.

Weapon restrictions for hogs only pertain to WMA,s NF, etc.
I.E. During small game season on a WMA, you may take a hog using small game weapons; (22LR, 22mag, Shotgun, Black Powder, Stick and String).
On private land, no season, no weapons restrictions.
Hogs are not considered small game.

Let's think this through. You catch one hog so the other nine hogs in the group travel to an adjacent farm to cause more crop damage. Does this method really solve the farmer's problem? No.

We prefer to kill all 10 hogs on the first night. Then we know the immediate problem is solved and we don't have to waste any gas coming back a dozen times. Which result do you think the farmers prefer?

Do you realize your conservation logic is why the GA DNR changed our hunting regulation to allow thermal hog control? You are part of the very problem you are complaining about.
