Wild Pig Wars: Controversy Over Hunting, Trapping in Missouri
Well the Missouri Media is starting to report the Missouri Wild Hog Crisis from the PEOPLE not ALL Jefferson city. My favorite Quote. Responding to claims that the hogs use conservation land as a refuge, Jeffries said, “I don’t think they’re safe on department areas IF we’ve got traps there.” ROFLMAO MDC shares All news stories they control narrative, bet they won't this one.

Feral hogs are destroying farmers' livelihoods. Can everyone agree on how to fight them?
FY - 2008
AN EFFECTIVE AND COMPLETE FERAL HOG REMOVAL PROGRAM REQUIRES A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH.
This story occurs in Missouri from 1997 to 2008 - You will not read this from Missouri Agencies, Missouri Lobbyist or Missouri Mainstream Media!!!!
Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri: A Feral Hog Eradication Success Story
https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1004&context=feralhog
National Conference on Feral Hogs
April 15th, 2008 Hunters went after their new quarry with much enthusiasm and an unknown number was removed by hunters from 1997 – 2004 but likely included SEVERAL HUNDRED HOGS.
A total of 93 hogs was trapped and removed by natural resource managers from 2001 – 2004. No hogs have been documented on FLW since 2004.
A probable key factor in the success of hog removal from FLW was intensive trapping efforts in RESTRICTED AREA THAT HUNTERS COULD NOT ACCESS AND SUBSEQUENTLY BECAME HOG REFUGES.
Hunter-pressured hogs were eliminated in this way. Also, certain Hunting Areas on FLW are only open periodically so HOG WERE ALLOWED TEMPORARY REFUGE CONDITIONS UNTIL AREA WERE OPENED TO HUNTING and then pursued diligently by hunters. We also tracked three feral hogs on FLW with the use of radio telemetry equipment and were able to obtain additional information about their movements and groupings. Telemetry equipment can be utilized as an additional tool to track hunter-pressured feral hogs.
AN EFFECTIVE AND COMPLETE FERAL HOG REMOVAL PROGRAM REQUIRES A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH.
FLW utilized a holistic approach including disseminating information, encouraging hunting/killing whenever possible, and intensive trapping in refuge areas to accomplish feral hog eradication.

Happy Mother's Day Missouri! Estimated 12,493 piglets born in first quarter 2019 in Missouri.
3,280 Wild Hogs killed in first quarter 2019 by MDC.
Biggest LIE in MISSOURI
Biggest LIE in MISSOURI – Baited traps THAT CAN catch entire sounder at once. BUT NO GUARANTEE with the Missouri Trip wire Method.
6 MDC TRIP WIRE TRAPS - TRIP WIRE METHOD vs REMOTE TRIGGER AND CAMERA METHOD.
Every interview, new release, demo and propaganda given to the public show the fancy 8,000-dollar traps with Cell Phone Camera and Remote Activated Gate.
But the Missouri reality is much different, most of the remote areas in Wayne, Madison, and Bollinger just to name a few - have no cell phone service, so they MUST use TRIP WIRE METHOD – DON’T HERE THAT IN THE NEWS.
MISSOURI TRIP WIRE METHOD is making TRAP SHY FERAL HOGS.
16 Wild Hog are inside a trap and one of them trips the wire and closes gate. OOPS 32 hogs in sounder that’s only 50% and 8 of those are pregnant females, now become trap shy as the other 16 squeal in distress! 4th Smartest Animal just got free lesson about traps.
Trip Wire traps are the NO.1 trap used in Missouri or do you think that Missouri are buying 8,000-dollar traps and camera system used by 58 trappers in Missouri on multiple sites. REALLY!!!!
Trip Wire traps also catch deer, if remote camera used the gate would still be open! RIGHT!!!!! T
Truth is coming out! Ask the media why they don't ask these question?

https://mapyourtaxes.mo.gov/…/Expen…/Agencies/Contract.aspx… So, the money spent for the 2019 FERAL HOG REPORT. Let’s review.
What is a Feral Hog! “Shocking”
Missouri agencies and lobbyist ONLY solution! “Don’t dare use experts outside of Missouri”
Tennessee do with Feral Hogs “Without past and current history noted”
All Missouri Public Hunters are to Blame! “Ignoring Past and Current History”.
All Missouri Hog Doggers are to Blame! “Ignoring Professional Experts”
Feral Hogs are so diseased they are a walking bio-hazard. “Ignoring Professional Experts”
How many hogs killed. “Ignoring 70% threshold”
How does Feral Hog Support Landowners in the fight against Feral Hogs – Absolutely Nothing vs rest of the United States. They would rather use Taxpayer money to run Advertisement “aka” propaganda!!! Meanwhile - Education, Control Techniques, Laws and Regulations, Trapping Demos taught in Texas, Texas A&M University System, Mississippi State University Extension Service, University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service Arkansas Forest Resources Center, Alabama Cooperative Extension System, TAMU Wildlife and Fisheries Extension, ACES - Fresh from the Field
Bonus - April Commission Meeting at 2:27:25 - MDC Alan Leary - USDA FARM BILL MONEY - Feral Pigs
"We do not want money going to the private landowners"
FERAL HOG REPORT - MARCH 2019 - Page 2 and Bottom of Page 6
I will break down each section. Let look at PAGE 2 and bottom of 6. Someone is not tell the whole truth. You decide.
Question: If trapping so effective and all traps can catch WHOLE sounders why trapping the same areas year after year and Then why did that add 20 more trappers this year and now have 58 trappers?
Then why did MDC spending go upto $1.865 million annually? A Historical Benchmark in Missouri History!!!
Maybe you might catch more if this didn’t occur or maybe why your catching more is because more to catch. HMMM
(1 1/2 months of no trapping on any public land in Southern Missouri during Turkey Season)
(4 months of no trapping on any public land in Southern Missouri during Deer Season)
(Wild Hog Refuge system in Missouri is working great to increase the population not so much on elimination)
WHAT YEAR will the Elimination take place in Missouri. 2017 Mark Twain National Forest - Forest Report has up to 30,000 Wild Hogs in Missouri but MDC only killed 6,300 that is only 21 percent. Reproduction rate of 166% that means 19,000 piglets born in 2017. Extrapolation of Mark Twain National Forest and MDC numbers from
2017 and 2018.
"Only problem Estimated 5,126 to 12,493 piglets born in first quarter of 2019"
FERAL HOG REPORT - MARCH 2019 - Page 4 and Top of Page 5
I will break down each section. Let look at PAGE 4 and top of 5 - I even add the lie "aka" "fake news" told about hog doggers and Landowners.
If you sources lie once why not twice?
Question can you tell the difference in a photo of a Raccoon Hunter, Raccoon Hunter Dog or a Hog Dog or Hog Dogger in a game camera phone in the winter?
Conservation and Natural Resources Committee - Missouri House of Representatives
just shown a untrue story to by the Deputy Director on the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Missouri Citizens, Missouri Media and Conservation and Natural Resources Committee in the Missouri House of Representatives just got duped into reading, publishing or being told in an Committee Meeting by the Deputy Director of the MDC an untrue story and a press release to the Media and public.
Will the MEDIA and MDC Apologize to the Private Landowner and Hunter. Would you like to be used as a hunter or private landowner by a Missouri government agency to promote untrue story?
Let's add one more thing I guess Texas A&M are also wrong. Successful Wild Pig Eradication Utilize Trained Dogs
MDC QUOTE in Jefferson City Feb 18th, 2019 from Deputy Director "We are looking at the research being done in Tennessee on using dog and see how that turns out."
You might want to read the research already done, 1989, 1995, 2001, 2007, 2008, 2010
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is in the business of providing research-based information, and the research continues to affirm the validity of trained dogs among the tools in our wild pig management toolbox.
I am currently unaware of a single successful wild pig eradication study that did not utilize trained dogs in some form; whether through hunting drives, tracking or through direct pursuit and capture
(Mcilroy and Saillard 1989; Caley and Ottley 1995; Schuyler et al. 2001; Parkes et al. 2010; Muir and McEwen 2007; McCann and Garcelon 2008; Scillitani et al. 2010).
This is not to say that successful eradication without dogs is impossible, but rather to evidence that effective wild pig management often requires the use of all available tools.
