WE KILL HOGS!

Who are we?
We are a group of ecologists who like hunting hogs, and don't like the impact high wild hog populations have on land. Our objective is to work with you, the landowner, to arrive at a hog control solution that is satisfactory to both of us- covering our costs while solving your hog problems as cost effectively as possible.

Why us?
Let's face it- there are lots of folks out there who will promise to trap hogs off your property for free. However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. From the trapping side, we have to pay for traps, bait, gas, wear and tear on vehicles, and our time and labor. Most trappers make their money selling hogs to hunt clubs and for BBQ's. This creates an incentive for trappers to use your property as, in effect, a hog farm for themselves- they take off the large hogs for hunt clubs, and release sows and shoats to grow up, or only run the traps when they have an order for meat hogs.

We don't work that way- we kill every hog on your property we can, while respecting your property. We will work with you to create a clear and simple contract between us, respecting you, the landowners, wishes as to the level of access and disturbance to the property, length of time you want us to work on hog control, and methods you want used.

How does this work?
You have a piece of property; a farm, woodland, preserve- and you are seeing hog damage. Hogs are rooting up your fields, wetlands, roadways- in general, running hog wild. Give us a call, and we will come out and assess the situation with you, and talk out the various methods we use to kill hogs. In general, there are four methods we use: Bow hunting, gun hunting, hunting with dogs, and trapping.

Bow hunting is the least obtrusive, but also least effective method. It works well in a situation with a small number of hogs on a small property, especially in a suburban setting. Gun hunting works much the same, only in areas where a gunshot won't cause problems with the neighbors.

Dog hunting is used in cases where there are a few smart hogs that avoid traps and continue to cause problems.

Trapping is our preferred methodology. In terms of manpower, it has a far better return than hunting. However, it is the most intrusive in terms of land disturbance (there will be one or more traps set up on the property for weeks to months) and our need to access them (traps, once set, need to be checked and maintained regularly). However, for large properties with high numbers of hogs, this is the best option available. A well designed and operating trap can catch a large percentage of a herd of hogs at one time, while shooting one of them would scatter the herd for hours or days.
