That's a lot of bacon. Are wild hogs indigenous to the south and east or is it more of someone let a bunch of domestic pigs go and they breed faster than you can shoot em?

That's a lot of bacon. Are wild hogs indigenous to the south and east or is it more of someone let a bunch of domestic pigs go and they breed faster than you can shoot em? Combination of two things: 1. Domestics being turned out to become feral due to deflated prices in the past and no demand. This error obviously was quite shortminded. 2. Imported Russian hogs for sport in history. These two issues have allowed selective breeding in the wild and created a hardy animal without any natural predators. They're omnivorous and hardy scavengers in times of severe drought (Texas this year is a great example of that). And they thrive throughout the climates of the South and southeast.

They can destroy a nice yard in hours. A local 9 hole golf course has one or two complete greens rutted up every year. Costs about $10,000 each to rebuild. They are inside city limits and can't allow hunting. Surrounding land owners have electric fences that are about 10" off the ground to keep the hogs out. A real problem.

Even way up north in the NE we are seeing more game, specially deer and way more hogs now. There should be a wise program to convert that hog problem over there into pulled pork BBQ for everyone for free. I guess you should invite every hunter in the nation to the party. Seriously, It looks like a really bad problem.

This is a familiar sight down here. My buddy's property is overrun. We've been discussing different options to assist in shooting them at night. NVGs are too $$. We've tried some cheap chinese knockoff green laser designators that were advertised at 50mw but are probably more like 10mw.. the real deal is $600+. The best thing we've come up with that's actually cost effective so far is setting up a green light and solar panel on the feeder, with a remote and timer. Any other advice?

I'll say you have a hog problem! As you said, it's time for them to start dying. Should be some good eating.

I hunt in South Texas we killed 98 hogs in one year and didn't even put a dent in the population. Gestational period for pigs is 3 months 3 weeks and 3 days with litters of up to 14, you do the math.
