You can put pressure on hogs and they may go away for several days maybe weeks. But they will be back

ill have to dig up the photos and see when we planted. We disked as much as we could and threw the rest on the waters edge and in 3” or less of water and it all came up well. Had to use a 4wheeler/disk combo as that oxbow would’ve buried a tractor.Duck Engr wrote:BGkirk wrote:I’ve done the rice in a wet sack for a couple days before planting.

Thanks BG. When did you plant?
We’ve had some luck trapping a few of them here and there and as soon as I see the very first one I see in my rice or brown top this year, I have a friend lined up with dogs to come run them. I won’t let them wreck my crop again like they did last year. We didn’t have hogs until 8-9 years ago and it’s really put a damper on anything we’ve tried to plant for other wildlife.

Did y’all do anything for weed control? I’ve read putting down a pre-emergent is the way to go, but I don’t know how feasible that’ll be for me. Only four wheeler we have now is 2wd, so it looks like I’ll be the four wheeler.
