Hogs & coyotes? I’m run over with them on my place. I kill an average of two a week without even trying to hunt them. KIll them where they stand, as long as it’s a safe shot.

Wild hogs are reportedly in my area but I haven’t encountered any yet. My biggest problem is beavers damning up the creek that backs up over the only bridge to my home. Before I moved over there my late father-in-law killed 65 of these pests with his 1911 and got reported to the game warden by people driving by. They just loved to watch them swim and play in their ever expanding lake and that man just shot them and left them in the water, how cruel! Well yeah, he wasn’t about to wade out and pull their carcasses out for a cemetery burial. The game warden told him, I understand your problem, keep shooting, just be discreet.

He passed away and I moved to the property and went to war with them and took out 27 in one year and I shot and left them to float on down stream. I finally found an agriculture agent who said he would love to trap them. I said fly to it. After his first venture out he called and said I took a 75 lb beaver in one trap with a head full of what looked to be number 4 shot. I said yes, I only had my .20 gauge that day and I thought it had got him, guess not. These are destructive nuisance animals, if these animal lovers want them come get them and take them to your house, have at it, bit if they stay on my property, they are going to be sent to a better place!
