Well I dont know where this fits. I live in texas in the DFW area and in city limits and there is a pack of wild hogs that have destroyed my yard. The land lord has contacted the owner of the land they're coming from and she has gotten no response. The only gun I have big enough to put them down is a m14. I do need some advice.
Hogs
- Thread starter pvt.Long
- Start date
Just sayin.
Im not a bow guy at all and i know they dont like it at all but, im realy shure then they wont like these hogs walking up to where the bus stop around 6:30 in the morning when the kids are getting on the bus. These hogs are getting brave.They have already walked a buddy of mine to his car at 5 in the morning

If they are actual wild/feral hogs then the landowner of the land where they are coming from isn't responsible for controlling the hogs or the damage they create. So I am not surprised that your land lord hasn't gotten a response out of them.
As noted, a live trap might be your best option, especially if there are numerous hogs.

What city is this?
You might want to check your local ordinances. It's not illegal by default to discharge firearms within city limits in TX; state law allows cities to prohibit it, but they have to enact an ordinance first. Most larger communities have such an ordinance on the books, but not all of them.
TX law also exempts certain tracts of land over 10 acres in size.
However, I agree that live traps are probably the safest answer.

What kind of hogs are these? How many cc's? Straight Pipes or baffles? Custom chrome or all OEM? Buy 'em a round of beer and speak V-Twin talk. That will get their attention and probably some pretty wild stories to boot. Thank 'em for coming and give 'em directions to the biker bar on the other side of town with the really good looking chicks. Sure to drive 'em away from your place. And in your very best Texan, say: Ya'll come back again, ya 'ear.

Maybe someday those hogs will make it up to my neck of the woods. Some Wisconsin hog hunting would be FUUUUUUUN!

Well gosh, if the guy isn't coming, you can't use guns, traps are too expensive, then I guess you just need to man-up and work on your ambush tactics and when the hogs come to your yard, run out and dispatch them with your pig sticker knife. I have seen guys do it on video. Supposedly, it is quite sporting, though I am not sure it doesn't involve a goodly amount of alcohol useage both before and after the ambush.
