Yeah, hogs tend to bed down during the day. So, with a chopper, you use the same technique as when using one to help round up cattle. Swoop down toward an oak motte and rear back and accelerate. The wind blast brings out cows, hogs, deer, turkeys, javelina and Lord knows what all.
During a cattle roundup, attendant cowboys on horseback have been known to enthusiastically and optimistically rope a buck, which gives a whole new meaning to "rodeo". The problem is that of retrieving the rope.
But hog hunters then have hogs to shoot.
It's not just crop damage. The new tollway in central Texas is having problems with the conflict of cars vs. hogs. The route is through an area of high hog population. Hitting a hog of 200 or 300 pounds is much like hitting a boulder.
