Does this mean there are many more?

[gigger14]

This is near the Hatchie River, east of Middleton, in Hardeman County. We have pictures of this hog from September of 2015 to November 2015. This is one of many pictures during that time period but only of this one hog. Does this mean there are others and what needs to be done to exterminate him (them)?

Get the landowner to get a eradication permit and put your name on it and then kill them all.

I can promise you there are many, many more. I don't know how close we are but I hunt the same area you described, so I'm speaking from experience. The pigs in the part of hatchie bottom that I hunt, seem almost migratory moving with the changing of the seasons. When they first arrived about 15 yrs ago, I would see them all deer season, then it got to where I'd only see them up until ML, but now I don't start seeing them until mid-late December on the same 200-300 acres. It's not uncommon to see a group of up to 30 together. And like easy45 said, kill every one that you see. They have wreaked havoc on the turkey and rabbit population in my part of the bottom, and I don't think it is too far fetched to say that they've even had an impact on the deer as well, whether it be killing fawns or bumping deer out of their "home range".

Call the USDA according to them they have "Millions to blow trying to kill them" :roll:

Thanks for the help and advice. We actually own the land so I'm gonna call and get the permit.

Just go a head and put my name on it and me and my boys will help. :tu:

I told my dad what you wrote and he started giggling in a good way.

Bacon and porkchops! I bet there are many more than just one.

Be very interested to see your results once you have the permits.

Sport hunting will not wipe them out. You have to trap.

I must admit I am surprised you only have this one piggie on camera. I have seen only older large males alone.

Good luck and great shooting

We hunt west of Middleton and hear that they are moving our way. Count me in on killing some hogs.

Here piggie, piggie...

I had 1 large male on camera two years ago. Have never gotten another pic (10 or 12 cameras on 200 or so acres) and no one has ever laid eyes on one. Hopefully he was just passing through.
