Hate to tell you this, but you have hogs. They aren't going anywhere. Shoot them all, they will still show up. You now have them forever. Even if you think you shot them all, you didn't. More will show up.

There are 2 types of lands in Texas
1. Those that are fighting the hog invasion.
2. Those that are preparing for the hog invasion.
I had 2 groups well over 50 pigs in each last August. Have killed 15 or so and neighbors have done the same. Still have a group of 40+ and they are dropping piglets left and right. They will always be here and that doesn't bother me. I just shoot them any given opportunity!
Piglets will return, sow will return. Just shoot or trap them when you can. When I have heavy daylight activity and kill 1-2 they tend to go nocturnal for a couple weeks.

Not true. There have been hogs in Bend Tx for 25+ years. We are not over run and we don't even shoot many or trap at all. 7 feeders go year round also.
Hogs only overpopulate in areas where they thrive, not all over the place.
And why is this "invasion" taking 30 years? If they multiply 1/2 as fast as you guys say they would have covered the world 3x over by now.
What size do y'all think the sow is? Those feeder legs are 8'.
If that's the only group you're seeing I'd pick off one small one once in a while. Depending on the size of the ranch hogs are fairly easy to chase off contrary to most people's opinions. I'm talking about west of I-35 East is a different ball game.
