Judas Pig

[WestTn Huntin man]

I haven't Heard discussion about controlling Hogs with a Collared Judas Pig . It sounds like a good way to control hogs. It would make for a good drive or draw hunt to get some meat in the Freezer or Feed the hungry.

Evidently it's being used in a lot of places like the swamps in Louisiana .

Interesting read. I wonder where you can find the results of the study since it ended in 2023?

Google Judas Pig Control and there is a lot of different info. Seems to be highly successful in very hard to hunt areas.

Probably would be a decent option if helicopters with thermals aren't in the cards and you can't get a trap in

I seen a video where coyotes in highly populated areas were keeping pig numbers down by killing piglets. I thought it was pretty cool how they figured out how to work the pig to get to the piglets.

We need to get a bunch of us here to do a PIG DRIVE! Just like the TV show WILD BOAR FEVER! I would suggest we do it in the winter time when there are no leaves though. Pigs, deer, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, would all be on the table! That is the other reason you do it in the winter time, so all of those are "legal".
