Had a doe and two yearlings come within 15 feet from my position on the ground on the first night. We baited with corn and apples the next day, but it appears that the hogs aren't coming out until really late at night or really early in the a.m. I did hear one stripping bark off of dead fall looking for grubs in the swamp, but it was already dark and I don't have night vision. I stalked him with my 1911 and flashlight, but could never get close enough to see him.

I suppose, this is why it's called Hunting, but it could be described as Gathering, not unlike what Farmers do. But the truth is we need to kill as many of them as we can, even if you have to let them lay and rot. We are actually faced with distinction of our habitat and the critters that inhabit it.
I saw a TV program, wherein they described one female can have more than several broods with ten-twenty per brood. That they come into heat every two months and that one female can have more than one hundred off-spring, including the births of the children, grand children, and great children, per year. The babies are ready to breed in two months, after birth.
This is a Big-Time Problem. A ton of farmers have been driven out of business, from the Pig-Bomb. This problem threatens our food chain. I say, if they eat our food, they just became my food.
I think, we'll come to hunting Pigs, more so than deer, out of necessity..
