I neither hunt nor allow any hunting/shooting of the song dogs on my place. Why? First, I realize that they eat deer. But, they also hammer the pigs that we are loaded with. The pigs are taking over the place. I no longer can plant wheat patches for deer. The hogs root the whole crop up. I’ve declared war on them since TPWD and other Guv Agencies have retired from the field. I hunt them year around.[/quote]
I can see your point, I probably wouldn't either in that case, the lesser of two evils, so to speak. we don't have that problem yet, but if the coyotes helped much, wouldn't they have slowed the spread of hogs in the first place? or maybe they have. I can see a coyote having a meal of young pigs but they prob wont have much effect on the adults. That would really suck, having everything uprooted, they probably absolutely destroy any kind of vegetation, I know tame hogs do if not managed.
All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.
