You will only see them in the early morning and at dusk. Ive killed too many to count in the South Florida swamps, farms and cattle ranches. They are hard to exterminate once they start breeding. They learn fast and will not eat just anything so it is hard to poison them. They can be caught with traps. The Florida panther also loves to eat them. The biologists here are trying to expand the panthers range to keep them from extinction and I believe Arkansas is on the list of possible locations. Oh BTW I eat the meat of anything I kill, of course.
The best time to see hogs active would be at dawn or dusk but you can jump them at anytime of day.
I really dont know the best way to poison them without harming other animals. All I can say is that the National Park Service has tried different methods without success in an attempt to erradicate the wild hogs from the Big Cypress National Preserve. I have found baited traps. Poison has been rumored to have been used but may be only a rumor. They would be very hard to poison because they learn fast was what I meant. It appears that they are now successful in the erradication because no hogs were harvested last year at my check station. I dont know what methods were used. BTW all the racoons are also gone.
