The coment about stocked hogs is dead on and I know this from the mouth of someone that has hunted these turnys. Barrs are stocked hogs once cutt they will stay around food right or wrong it is the truth. I dont hunt the contests but some times wish I did but barrs keepe from entering as I have never caught one and dought I will places I hunt if I cut a hog loose I might as well kiss that placegoodby
it aint just barrs that could be stocked... if you feed a sow or a boar in a place and keep doing so they dont need or want to leave. imo of coarse
About 6 months ago i had a boar in my 4 acre pen and he was a big pud so he escaped...lol. but apparently found my feeder right outside the pen. well two months later my yard dogs caught him while i was at work. (not fun for my wife and daughter) anyhow some hogs will stick around food if fed
