Title: relocating hogs Post by: 3-Bdogs on April 18, 2010, 07:00:14 pm what's the best way to keep hogs close to where you kick em out at do you kick a bunch all together out or scatter em do you let pigs or bigger hogs sows or bars which stay put better
Title: Re: relocating hogs Post by: chopper on April 18, 2010, 07:22:56 pm you could try building a big pen and leave em in there for a few months and feed em good then leave the door open maby keep a few sows in it dont know if it will work just a idea. I used to have a job where i had to trap hogs every morning , i lived on a abondoned orange grove that never had any hogs on it and i would turn them loose on it and i would never see them again guess they dident like it there. I have heard of boars sticking around after being barred, went with a guy one night and caught one he said he cut him and left him in the same spot a couple of weeks earlier.
