I searched the site but did not find any info- WHAT have any of you done to repair hog damage?
I have 75 acres of field used for hay. The mowers can't handle the vibration the rough ground causes. A small disk is the only way I have seen people deal with this in my area. (I have a 1957 Ford 640- how small/large a disk should I pull)? A local hay producer, who cuts our fields, has asked me to fix the damage to the fields or cut the price of his lease. The damaged areas are several acres in size and have varying amounts of damage some you could fit a truck tire in- 10 or 12 inches deep and 3 to 4 foot across others just big enough to stick your foot in. Any thoughts or directions would be helpful.

I drag a couple of 14' sections of telephone pole behind a Case 500. Not a real pretty job, but does level better than anything I have tried.

Jason,I know the problem you have with hogs.Ilive in central Texas.What I do to repair the damage to my pasture is to take my old bush hog lower it all the way down & go real slow over the area.This has worked out real good.An old timer also told me last week to shoot one of the hogs & just leave it laying & the other hogs will stay away for a long time.Hell it is worth a try!

I went over several acres with a turning plow. Real slow in order to stay on the tractor. Then a couple of times with a harrow. It made a half way decent job. For the individual "bomb craters" I just made a couple of passes with the harrow. And in answer to Dieselrider it would be a great pleasure and sweet revenge to shoot the varmits but they are a wary bunch.

Jason, I live in Pa. and we don't have the problem of wild hogs that some have but, wouldn't shooting some of them be an option? Wouldn't that keep them away awhile or don't you like pork? I'm not trying to be silly I really have never had to deal with wid hogs.

Yupp- shooting them is grand! eating them is grand, getting them from one place to the next is work. I live in South East Texas, and we do have hog issues here. Feral Hogs become sexually mature at 6 months of age and can have litters of 6 I believe. They run the creek beds by night and do unbelievable damage when the populations grow out of hand. I have hunted and trapped and yes eaten the critters and do enjoy all of that- BUT I still need to clean up my fields- so I can afford to keep my property.

We've got wild hogs in south Indiana too. Farmers and ranchers welcome responsible hunters onto thier property to hunt them. Turkey hunters just think they are hunting the most elusive quarry.
