What does everyone think about this toxic bait being texted on feral hogs , I know they cause tremendous amounts of damage for farmers and other wildlife but I just don’t agree with poisoning them....what y’all think about it !
Can't blame the farmers, hogs affect their livelihood, and I am sure that they just want them gone, even if it means poison. But it sure would be nice if those of us that don't have access to any other land besides WMA land to hunt hogs could hook up with farmers that have hog problems to kill some. I know that the state started a program a few years back and it fell through because there were hunters that wanted to hunt, but no one would let them hunt on their land. I am sure there were other issues, but it sure would be nice for respectful hunters to be able to hook up with land owners to help with the hogs. Can't say its wrong if they find a way not to kill other wildlife, but it sure does hurt to see them getting poisoned when there are good hunters that would like to take a few. Like most issues, there are two sides to every thing, even if they were hunted, the problem for farmers is large enough that hunters probably wouldn't affect the population.

What was the deal with the older clay targets? Wasn't they poison to hogs?
yes, they were
I wonder if you could mix enough crumbled up ones in corn to poison a hog?
Poison will be good as long as it isn`t something that will get in the food chain and will only be selective to hogs.
Otherwise, no.
