Feral Hogs
As those who live in hog country know
only too well, the number of feral hogs is
growing and expanding.
Regrettably feral hogs are as smart as
they are aggressive and destructive. That’s
why physical barrier fences often fail.
It’s been proven that minimal electrified
fences can work—and work well to deter
wild hogs. Why? Because all hogs use
their moist snout to test and investigate
new situations.
This ensures that contact with an
energized strand will send a hog-stopping
shock (if the energizer is large enough!)
through the hog.
Hogs have very good memories. So they
aren’t likely to test the same fence
in the
same place
twice—if the pulse was painful
the first time.
Choices…
1. HogNet 4/18/12 A net with only 3 electrified horizontal strands. Bottom (4th) strand rests on the ground. Best for sites with green grass and moist soil. Least effort to install. 2. HogNet 10/24/12 For moist and dry areas. Can be switched to Pos/Neg for sites with dry soils. Most expensive choice ( see p. 73 ).3. Multi-Strand
2 to 3 strands of energized rope
(see p. 55)
. Install posts and
insert rope in the posts.
Least expensive choice and
least effective.
Notes…
• Netting is more effective than multi-strand fences because it is more visible.
• HogNet 10/24/12 can be set up as a Positive/Negative fence—much better for
dry soil conditions.
• The extra strands of 10/24/12 ensure the animal is shocked
before
it sticks its
nose through the fence. This reduces risk of the shocked hog charging forward.
• HogNet 4/18/12 will work well if the area is wet enough to keep grass green
throughout the year. Its lower cost/ft makes it a good choice for longer fences.
